Instanton in the nonperturbative QCD vacuum

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The influence of nonperturbative fields on instantons in quantum chromodynamics is studied. Effective action for instanton is derived in bilocal approximation and it is demonstrated that stochastic background gluon fields are responsible for IR stabilization of instantons. It is shown that instanton size in QCD is of order of 0.25 fm. Comparison of obtained instanton size distribution with lattice data is made.
