Abstract

It is argued that the charmonium ³P state spectrum does not require the confining potential to be a Lorentz scalar. A nonrelativistic spin-potential is parameterized in a way that is compatible with electric confinement and the known ³P state masses. The ³D₁ mass is then computed to be 3762 MeV, which compares quite favorably with the experimental value of 3770 ± 3 MeV.
