QCD from a Large N Perspective

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

Abstract

The 1/N expansion of QCD can be used to calculate properties of nucleons and Delta baryons, such as masses, magnetic moments, and pion couplings. The predictions of the 1/N expansion are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. The 1/N expansion also provides an understanding of the relation between the quark model, the Skyrme model, and QCD. This talk reviews some of the recent developments.
