Towards the unified description of light and heavy hadrons in the bag model approach

Nucl.Phys. A741 (2004) 179-199 Mass spectra of ground state hadrons containing u-, d-, s-, c-quarks as well as some lightest hadrons containing b-quarks are calculated on the basis of a slightly modified bag model. The center-of-mass motion corrections are incorporated using a wavepacket projection with Gaussian parametrization of the distribution amplitude. We use running coupling constant and also allow the effective quark mass to be scale-dependent. The impact of these modifications on the hadron mass spectrum is investigated. A comparison of the predicted mass values with the experimental data demonstrates that the modified bag model is sufficiently flexible to provide a satisfactory description of light and heavy hadrons (mesons and baryons) in a single consistent framework.
