SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on applying the Bohr model to quark interactions, specifically analyzing a system of two quarks with mass m interacting through the confining potential V=kr. Participants are tasked with calculating the potential energy (V), radius (R), and energy (E) of the bound system, as well as determining the angular frequency of emitted radiation during a transition from quantum state n to w. Given parameters include mc² = 2 GeV and K = 0.5 GeV, with a specific inquiry about the values for u=1.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Bohr model in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with quark theory and nuclear physics
  • Knowledge of potential energy functions in particle physics
  • Basic proficiency in solving quantum mechanical equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Bohr model and its application to multi-particle systems
  • Research quark confinement and the implications of the potential V=kr
  • Learn how to calculate angular frequency in quantum transitions
  • Explore relevant equations in nuclear physics, particularly those related to energy levels
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students and researchers in nuclear physics, particularly those interested in quantum mechanics and particle interactions, as well as anyone seeking to understand the application of the Bohr model to complex systems.

Homework Statement


Two quarks of the same mass m, interact via the confining potential V=kr

-Use the Bohr model to find V,R,E of the bound system
-Determine the angular frequency of the emitted radiation by transition from n => w (??)
-For mc^2 = 2 Gev and K = .5GeV per ?? what are the values of V,R,E for u=1

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution


Judging by the previous problem this should be simple but I have 0 experience with nuclear physics and I don't even know what these variables mean. On top of that I can't read my professor's handwriting so there may be errors. If someone could just give me a link to where I can see what this means and find the relevant equations that would be great. Thank you for any help.
