Tremendous progress has been made experimentally in the hadron spectrum containing heavy quarks in the last two decades. It is surprising that many resonant structures are around thresholds of a pair of heavy hadrons. There should be a…
We probe effects of the partial chiral symmetry restoration to the mass of heavy-light mesons in a constituent quark model by changing the constituent quark mass of the light quark. Due to the competing effect between the quark mass and the…
We study the implications of Lorentz symmetry for hadronic structure by formulating a manifestly covariant constituent quark model and find full covariance for any Lorentz transformation requires utilizing a variable quantization surface.…
We underline the general features of the constituent quark model and its success in the description of the spectrum and transitions of hadrons made up of light or heavy quarks, briefly compared to first principles of QCD. To show the…
A constituent parton picture of hadrons with logarithmic confinement naturally arises in weak coupling light-front QCD. Confinement provides a mass gap that allows the constituent picture to emerge. The effective renormalized Hamiltonian is…
Regularities in the hadron interaction energies are used to obtain formulas relating the masses of ground-state hadrons, most of which contain heavy quarks. Inputs are the constituent quark model, the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, and the…
We use the covariant spectator theory with an effective quark-antiquark interaction, containing Lorentz scalar, pseudoscalar, and vector contributions, to calculate the masses and vertex functions of, simultaneously, heavy and heavy-light…
We discuss coexistence/mixing of different natures of hadronic composite (molecule) and elementary (quark-intrinsic) ones in hadron resonances. The discussions here are based on our previous publications on the origin of hadron resonances…
The Quark-Meson-Coupling model, which self-consistently relates the dynamics of the internal quark structure of a hadron to the relativistic mean fields arising in nuclear matter, provides a natural explanation to many open questions in low…
We study the behavior of dynamically-generated baryon resonances with heavy-quark content within a unitarized coupled-channel theory in matter that fulfills heavy-quark spin symmetry constraints. We analyze the implications for the…
Mesons containing light and heavy quarks are studied. Interaction of quarks is described by the funnel-type potential with the distant dependent strong coupling, $\alpha_\S(r)$. Free particle hypothesis for the bound state is developed:…
We introduce a kinetical description of the hadronization of semi-deconfined quark matter produced in heavy ion collisions. A minimal microscopic model is considered in which the produced quarks and anti-quarks are redistributed into…
The role of models in Quantum Chromodynamics is to produce simple physical pictures that connect the phenomenological regularities with the underlying structure. The static properties of hadrons have provided experimental input to define a…
Novel relativistic expressions are used to calculate the weak decay constants of pseudoscalar and vector mesons within the constituent quark model. Meson wave functions satisfy the quasipotential equation with the complete relativistic…
We develop a theoretical framework to quantify the structure of unstable hadron resonances. With the help of the corresponding system in a finite volume, we define the compositeness of resonance states which can be interpreted as a…
The mechanism by which a resonance may be attracted to a sharp threshold is described with several examples. It involves a threshold cusp interfering constructively with either or both (i) a resonance produced via confinement, (ii)…
