We study the roles of quark-pair correlations for baryon properties, in particular on non-leptonic weak decay of hyperons. We construct the quark wave function of baryons by solving the three body problem explicitly with confinement force…
The electroweak properties of nucleons and hyperons are calculated in a relativistic constituent quark model. The baryons are treated as three quark bound states, and the diagrams of perturbation theory are considered on the light front.…
Nonperturbative spin-dependent forces of quarks in a baryon are calculated directly from the QCD Lagrangian in the framework of the Field Correlator Method both for heavy and light quarks. Resulting forces contain terms of 5 different…
In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions the baryon-meson ratio is not fully understood in the intermediate-to-high transverse momentum region. Although quark coalescence methods combined with jet fragmentation yield results close to the…
We investigate the spin contribution to light baryon ground states in three inequivalent large-$N$ limits: 't Hooft, QCD antisymmetric and QCD symmetric. Our framework is a constituent quark model with a relativistic Hamiltonian containing…
I discuss the structure of current-induced bottom baryon to charm baryon transitions, and the structure of pion and photon transitions between heavy charm or bottom baryons in the Heavy Quark Symmetry (HQS) limit as $m_Q\rightarrow\infty$.…
We introduce a new formulation of the diquark breaking mechanism which describes with no free parameters the huge nuclear stopping observed in central nucleus-nucleus collisions. Supplemented, in the dual parton model, with strings…

Baryon magnetic moments and beta decay ratios ($G_A/G_V$) are calculated in a phenomenological quark model. Non-static effects of pion exchange and orbital excitation are included. Good agreement with experiment is found for a combined fit…
Why do we see certain types of strongly interacting elementary particles and not others? This question was posed over 50 years ago in the context of the quark model. M. Gell-Mann and G. Zweig proposed that the known mesons were $q \bar q$…
I briefly summarize the application of the Dyson-Schwinger/Faddeev approach to baryon form factors. Recent results for nucleon electromagnetic and axial form factors as well as N-Delta-Gamma electromagnetic transition form factors are…
Quantum Chromodynamics is thought to be the relativistic quantum field theory that describes the strong interaction of the Standard Model. This interaction produces mesons but it is also able to generate quark-quark (diquark) correlations…
The kaon electromagnetic (e.m.) form factor is reviewed considering a light-front constituent quark model. In this approach, it is discussed the relevance of the quark-antiquark pair terms for the full covariance of the e.m. current. It is…
We analyze the axial-vector form factors of the nucleon-hyperon system in a model with SU(3)$_{\text{flavor}}$ symmetry breaking due to mass dependent quark spin polarizations. This mass dependence is deduced from an analysis of magnetic…
The constituent quark model based on a hypercentral approach takes into account three-body force effects and standard two-body potential contributions. The quark potential contains a hypercentral interaction, to which a hyperfine term is…
QCD instantons are known to produce deeply bound diquarks. We study whether it may be used as building blocks in the formation of multiquark states, in particular pentaquarks and dibaryons. A simple model is presented in which the lowest…

The flavor and spin structure for the quark distributions of the $\Lambda$-baryon is studied in a perturbative QCD (pQCD) analysis and in the SU(6) quark-diquark model, and then applied to calculate the $\Lambda$-polarization of…
Recent experimental data on space-like and time-like form factors of the nucleon are analyzed in terms of a two-component model with a quark-like intrinsic three-quark structure and quark-antiquark pairs.
