We review our recent description of high energy forward hadronic cross sections and in particular of pion scattering data by means of Regge theory. We obtain a prediction for the total proton-proton cross section at LHC. In addition, and…
This is a personal recollection of several results involving the phenomenological study of the multi-Regge limit of scattering amplitudes. None of them would have been possible without the encouragement and constant support from Lev…
Lattice simulations of hadronic structure are now reaching a level where they are able to not only complement, but also provide guidance to current and forthcoming experimental programmes at, e.g. Jefferson Lab, COMPASS/CERN and FAIR/GSI.…
We scrutinized hadronic Regge trajectories in a framework of two different models --- string and potential. Our results are compared with broad spectrum of existing theoretical quark models and all experimental data from PDG98. It was…
This is a contribution to the review 50 Years of Quantum Chromodynamics edited by F. Gross and E. Klempt, to be published in Journal EPJC. This contribution reviews the nucleon resonance transition form factors determined from meson…
The resonance mass spectra have been studied through a non-relativistic hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM) using a linear potential. Also, the effects of higher order correction terms (${\cal{O}}(\frac{1}{m})$,…
Assuming simple properties of the spectator particle in weak decays the form factors of hadronic current matrix elements are shown to be related to a single universal function. The Isgur-Wise result for heavy-to-heavy transitions follows as…
A formalism for the relativistic description of hadron decays within the constituent quark model is presented. First, hadron amplitudes of the light--cone constituent quark model, in particular the weak transition form factors at spacelike…
I discuss topics in the strong QCD dynamics that are of relevance to studies of the $B$ mesons and to the spectroscopy of heavy hadrons. In particular the limitations from the hadronic dynamics for the determination of the weak-interaction…
We discuss a calculation of large-Nc masses of light scalar mesons from the QCD sum rules. Two methods based on the use of linear radial Regge trajectories are presented. We put a special emphasis on the appearance of pole near 0.5 GeV in…
In the first part of the talk, I discussed results on the determination of the ratios of the light quark masses from large N_c chiral perturbation theory, to be described elsewhere. The following notes contain material from the second part…
We summarise applications of Dyson-Schwinger equations to the theory and phenomenology of hadrons. Some exact results for pseudoscalar mesons are highlighted with details relating to the U_A(1) problem. We describe inferences from the gap…
Hadronic form factors fulfill dispersion relations and superconvergence sum rules for their spectral density as genuine imprints of QCD. We show several instances where these conditions are flagrantly violated due to the lack of information…
The ultra-relativistic heavy-ion program at RHIC has shown that at intermediate transverse momenta ($p_T \simeq 2$-6 GeV) standard (independent) parton fragmentation can neither describe the observed baryon-to-meson ratios nor the empirical…
We briefly report on results about the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon obtained with different models and then we concentrate our attention on recent results obtained with the hypercentral constituent quark model (hCQM).
The spectrum of radially excited unflavored vector mesons is relatively well measured, especially in the heavy-quark sector. This provides a unique opportunity to observe the behavior of the hadron spectrum at fixed quantum numbers as a…
The application of relativistic constituent quark models to the evaluation of the electromagnetic properties of the nucleon and its resonances is addressed. The role of the pair creation process in the Feynmann triangle diagram is discussed…
At high energy, exclusive meson photo- and electro-production give access to the structure of hadronic matter. At low momentum transfers, the exchange of a few Regge trajectories leads to a comprehensive account of the cross-sections. Among…
Several Regge-phenomenological models of forward scattering at high energies are considered. It was found that one of them corresponds to the form of finite series in log s with additional terms that represent the exchanges of…
N and $\Delta$ baryons hold an important place towards understanding the quark dynamics inside hadrons. The hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM) has been employed in various studies ranging from light to heavy hadrons. In the present…
