A quark confinement potential is derived from QCD Lagrangial under the two assumptions in the energy region relevant to quark confinement. The possibility of perturbation in QCD is assumed, and the momentum of the gluon transfered by the…
Implications of hadronization as a rapid traversal of the QCD phase boundary are explored for correlation structures in jets, N-N collisions and heavy-ion collisions. Hadronization viewed as a partition of the prehadonic system restricts…

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and its connection with the generation of hadron masses has historically been viewed as a vacuum phenomenon. We argue that confinement makes such a position untenable. If quark-hadron duality is a reality…

An overarching scientific challenge for the coming decade is to discover the meaning of confinement, its relationship to dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) - the origin of visible mass - and the connection between them. In…
A holographic model of probe quarkonia is presented, where the dynamical gravity-dilaton background is adjusted to the thermodynamics of 2 +1 flavor QCD with physical quark masses. The quarkonia action is modified to account for a…
The evidence for dual superconductivity as a mechanism for color confinement is reviewed. New developments are presented for full QCD, i.e. in the presence of dynamical quarks.
Quark counting rules derived from recombination models agree well with data on hadron production at intermediate transverse momenta in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. They convey a simple picture of hadrons consisting only of valence…
