Heavy quarkonia in strong magnetic fields

Understand

We investigate the influence of a homogeneus and constant strong external magnetic field on the heavy-meson spectrum.

• Quarkonium states $c\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$ are described within a non-relativistic framework and by means of a suitable potential model based on the Cornell parametrization.
• In particular, in this work we propose a model which takes into account the possible anisotropies emerging at the level of the static quark-antiquark potential, as observed in recent lattice studies.
• The investigation is perfomed both with and without taking into account the anisotropy of the static potential, in order to better clarify its effects
