Abstract

Mass levels and widths of very heavy quarkonia and similar onium resonances of squarks, color octet and sextet constituents are studied in the mass range of 50 to 1000 GeV. The heavy quark potential with QCD two-loop improved short-distance behavior that gives a good description of the charmonium and bottomonium spectra is used, and the results are given for several values of the QCD scale parameter Λ MS (4) in the range between 0.1 and 0.4 GeV. We present parametrizations for the first ten S-wave quarkonium resonances, which are relevant if the top quark is relatively light ( m t≲125 GeV) or if a heavy fourth-generation quark with suppressed weak decay rates exists. We also discuss the onset of coulombic behavior and the possible effects of Higgs boson exchange on superheavy quarkonia.
