Abstract

A natural explanation is presented for the apparent increase in Regge slope with the number of quarks in a bound state. The framework used is that of a nonrelativistic harmonic-oscillator potential with a color dependence suggested by quantum chromodynamics. Ratios of modes of orbital excitations in baryonium, baryon, and meson states which are in good agreement with experiment are derived, and the modes of excitation within the baryonium states are discussed.
