Quark model: recent issues

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

In the first part I briefly survey recent issues in constituent quark models raised by the observation of unusual hadronic states. In particular I discuss the role of higher Fock components in the wave function of baryons and the possible interpretation of open charm and of new charmonium-type resonances as tetraquarks. In the second part I show support for the quark model dynamics obtained in a model independent way from the 1/Nc1/N_c expansion approach of QCD which proved to be successful in describing baryon properties.
