Abstract

Abstract By using scalar as opposed to spin- 1 2 quarks and treating spin effects perturbatively, the masses of the lowest lying 0 - and 1 - mesons above 1 GeV (the J/Ψ, η c , D, D ∗ , F, F ∗ , and φ) are calculated to 1%. The masses of the K ∗ , ϱ, and K are respectively obtained to 3%, 8% and 30%. Certain (spin-averaged) linear combinations of baryon masses are also computed. The nucleon-delta result differs from experiment by 8%. For heavier baryons the error is smaller. Scalar lattice QCD seems to be a promising approach to the strong interactions.
