Constituent Quarks from QCD: Perturbation Theory and the Infra-red

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Systematic approaches to building up gauge invariant descriptions of charged fields, such as electrons or quarks, are described. Physically relevant descriptions must then be singled out from a multiplicity of possibilities and to this end we give a physical interpretation of one description. Perturbative calculations which back up this interpretation are outlined. A non-perturbative obstruction to observing an isolated quark is reported. This sets the limits of the constituent quark model.
