A Light-Cone QCD Inspired Effective Hamiltonian Model with SU(3) Flavor Mixing

The effective light-cone Hamiltonian is extended to include the SU(3) flavor mixing interaction besides the confining potential. Solving the coupled J=0 mass eigen equations for the up, down, and strange quark components numerically, the masses of π⁰ and η, their radial wave functions, and rms radii are obtained in agreement with the experimental data.
