Radial Regge trajectories for higher $��(nS)$ and $��(nD)$ states

The masses of $��((n+1) {}^3S_1)$ and $��(n {}^3D_1)$ are calculated using the relativistic string Hamiltonian with "linear+gluon-exchange" potential. They occur in the range 4.5-5.8 GeV, in particular, $M(3D)=4.54$ GeV, $M(5S)=4.79$ GeV, $M(4D)=4.85$ GeV are calculated with accuracy $\sim 50$ MeV. Linear Regge trajectories: $M^2(nS)=M^2(��(4.42))+ 2.91$ GeV$^2 (n-4)$ $(n\geq 4) $ and $M^2(nD)=(4.54^2+ 2.88 (n-3))$ GeV$^2$ ($n\geq 3$) are obtained only for higher charmonium excitations. They have slopes two times larger than those of light mesons and give good description of calculated masses. These masses are compared with enhancements in some recent $e^+e^-$ experiments.
