The study of light hadrons is central to the understanding of confinement--a unique property of QCD. The quark model describs mesons as bound states of quarks and antiquarks. LQCD and QCD-motivated models for hadrons, however, predict a…
Properties of light-light mesons are described by the effective Hamiltonian with spinless quarks derived from QCD. The spectrum is computed by the WKB method and shown to reproduce the celebrated linear Regge trajectories even for the…
