This coupling leads to a quark-antiquark potential, which satisfies not only asymptotic freedom but also describes linear confinement correctly. From this potential, we calculate the bottomonium and charmonium spectra below the first open flavor meson-meson thresholds and show that for a small range of values of the free parameter determining the gluon mass function an excellent agreement with data is attained. %K general properties of QCD %K potential models %K other non-perturbative calculations %K heavy quarkonia %R 10.1088/1748-0221/11/07/P07023 %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.01382 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/11/07/P07023 %P 125002-12pp
