Light quarks masses and condensates in QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We review some theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the scenario in which the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is not triggered by a formation of a large condensate <\bar{q} q>. Emphasis is put on the resulting pattern of light quark masses, on the constraints arising from QCD sum rules and on forthcoming experimental tests.
