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