Abstract: The Lorentz nature of linear confinement potential of quarkantiquark pair is analyzed in the potential model by using the fine mass splittings of L=1 spin triplets in cc and bb systems.It is found that the linear confinement potential has a mixed nature of the Lorentz scalar and vector (0≤η≤29%,η=0 represents the pure Lonentz scalar).For the tentatively measured χ(11P1) and γ(11P1) meson masses,it is shown that the pure Lorentz scalar of the linear confinement potential is required to obtain the mass of the former meson,while the mixture of 79% Lorentz scalar and 21% Lorentz vector is required to explain the mass of the latter one.
