Stability of quark-antiquark models of mesons: A study on the validity of the spectator, Dirac, and Salpeter equations

Mesons are made of quark-antiquark pairs held together by the strong force. The one channel spectator, Dirac, and Salpeter equations can each be used to model this pairing. We look at cases where the relativistic kernel of these equations corresponds to a linear combination of scalar exchange and ve...
