If any violation of Lorentz symmetry exists in the hadron sector, its ultimate origins must lie at the quark level. We continue the analysis of how the theories at these two levels are connected, using chiral perturbation theory.…

Effects of heavy sea quarks on the low energy physics are described by an effective theory where the expansion parameter is the inverse quark mass, 1/$M$. At leading order in 1/$M$ (and neglecting light quark masses) the dependence of any…
We study the spectrum of light flavor baryons in a quark-model framework by taking into account the order $\mathrm{O}(\alpha_s^2)$ hyperfine interactions due to two-gluon exchange between quarks. The calculated spectrum agree better with…
