The composite nature of baryons manifests itself in the existence of a rich spectrum of excited states, in particular in the important mass region 1-2 GeV for the light-flavoured baryons. The properties of these resonances can be identified…
We demonstrate that a relativistic constituent quark model can give nucleon form factors that agree well with recent, accurate measurements. The relativistic features of the model and the specific form of the wave function are essential for…
We describe our recent lattice study of SU(4) gauge theory with fermions in the fundamental and sextet representations. In this theory, a new type of baryon consists of quarks in both representations. The spectrum of these "chimera baryons"…
Working within the non relativistic quark model a two parameter fit to the magnetic moments of baryons is presented. The fit has an excellent $\chi^2$. The model is based on taking different flavor groups to describe the different magnetic…
We calculate semileptonic decays of light and heavy baryons in a relativistically covariant constituent quark model. The model is based on the Bethe-Salpeter-equation in instantaneous approximation. It generates satisfactory mass spectra…

Sum rules relating the masses of ground-state baryons and mesons are obtained in a constituent quark model. The interaction is assumed to be independent of quark spins except for a spin-dependent part that can be treated as a perturbation.…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction. The fundamental particles of QCD, quarks and gluons, carry colour charge and form colourless bound states at low energies. The hadronic bound states of primary interest…
Weak current-induced baryonic form factors at zero recoil are evaluated in the rest frame of the heavy parent baryon using the nonrelativistic quark model. Contrary to previous similar work in the literature, our quark model results do…
We present an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of the quark-antiquark pairs (up, down and strange) are taken into account in an explicit form via a microscopic, QCD-inspired, quark-antiquark creation mechanism. In the…
Systematic approaches to building up gauge invariant descriptions of charged fields, such as electrons or quarks, are described. Physically relevant descriptions must then be singled out from a multiplicity of possibilities and to this end…
A constituent quark model based on the spectator formalism is applied to the gamma N -> N* transition for the three cases, where N* is the nucleon, the Delta and the Roper resonance. The model is covariant, and therefore can be used for the…
A relativistic Faddeev model for the baryon octet is extended to treat the baryon decuplet. We find that after determining the model parameters in the mesonic sector the masses of both nucleon and delta deviate by less than 5\% from the…
The quark mean-field (QMF) model is applied to study the single $\Lambda^+_c$ hypernuclei. The charm baryon, $\Lambda^+_c$, is constructed by three constituent quarks, $u, ~d$, and $c$, confined by central harmonic oscillator potentials.…
Using the dual string theory, we study a circular baryonic configuration in a wind of strongly coupled N=4 Yang-Mills plasma blowing in the plane of the baryon, before and after a quark has dissociated from it. A simple enough model that…
We compute the Omega- electromagnetic form factors and the decuplet baryon magnetic moments using a quark model application of the Covariant Spectator Theory. Our predictions for the Omega- electromagnetic form factors can be tested in the…
The bound state of constituent quarks forming a $Qqq$ composite baryon is investigated in a QCD-inspired effective light-front model. The light-front Faddeev equations are derived and solved numerically. The masses of the spin 1/2 low-lying…
In the present work, the interacting potential form between quarks inside a baryon is taken to be proportional to the digamma-function. Using the Jacobi-coordinates the three body wave equation is solved to calculate the different states of…
The relation between the Skyrme model and the constituent quark model, which appears in the large $N_c$ limit is described. Examples of similarity in the predicted phenomenology for baryons are shown. Finally the application to nuclei is…
We study the nuclear stopping in high energy nuclear collisions using the constituent quark model. It is assumed that wounded nucleons with different number of interacted quarks hadronize in different ways. The probabilities of having such…
