Updated description of quarkonium by power-law potentials

Abstract
The spectra and decay rates of charmonium (cc¯) and bottomonium (bb¯) levels are well described, for the most part, by a power-law potential V(r)=λ(rα1)α+const, where α0. The results of an up-to-date fit to the data on spin-averaged levels are presented. A fit to levels alone favors α=0.045 and gives very little preference for quark masses, while inclusion of leptonic width data leads to α=0.14 and a b-quark mass in the vicinity of 5 GeV. A fit to the known electric dipole transitions in bb¯ systems favors a slightly smaller b-quark mass, but with large errors.
