Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum

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

Abstract

These lectures contain an introduction to the following topics: 1) Phenomenology of the hadron spectrum; 2) The static Wilson loop in perturbative and in lattice QCD. Confinement and the flux tube formation; 3) Non static properties: effective field theories and relativistic corrections to the quarkonium potential; 4) The QCD vacuum: minimal area law, Abelian projection and dual Meissner effect, stochastic vacuum.
