An extension of the QED 'return to resonance' mechanism to light meson emission ($\pi$, $\rho$) in (anti)proton collisions with a hadronic target (nucleon or nucleus) is proposed. The cross section and the multiplicity distributions are…
We present an improved version of the dual parton model which contains a new realization of the diquark breaking mechanism of baryon stopping. We reproduce in this way the net baryon yield in nuclear collisions. The model, which also…
We present the minimal sextet--quark condensation model as an attractive alternative to the standard model. The model is constructed by a simple and natural extension beyond the standard model and has many new interesting features some of…
We give an overview of the present status of knowledge of the production of J/psi, psi' and Upsilon in high-energy hadron collisions. We first present two early models, namely the Colour-Singlet Model (CSM) and the Colour-Evaporation Model…
Production of quarks and gluons in hadron collisions tests Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) over a wide range of energy. Models of QCD are implemented in event generators to simulate hadron collisions and evolution of quarks and gluons into…
An enhanced production of strange particles per pion in heavy ion collisions compared to elementary p+p interactions was observed in Pb+Pb reactions at the CERN SPS. New results obtained on small colliding systems, C+C and Si+Si, also show…
We present a comprehensive study on how to distinguish the properties of heavy dijet resonances at hadron colliders. A variety of spins, chiral couplings, charges, and QCD color representations are considered. Distinguishing the different…
We develop the formalism to study the hyperon-nucleon interaction potential within the bound state approach to the SU(3) Skyrme model. The general framework is illustrated by applying it to the diagonal $\Lambda N$ potential. The central,…
The calculation of muon spectra from the decay of Lambda_c baryons was carried out on the basis of the description of recent data on charmed-baryon production in hadronic interactions. Data are described in the framework of Quark--Gluon…
The concepts of local and global colour singletness in QCD are analyzed within a framework of a group theoretical technique which can project out various colour representations of the QGP. A proof of colour singletness is thereby provided.…
We present a new classification scheme of baryon ground states and resonances into SU(3) flavor multiplets. The scheme is worked out along a covariant formalism with relativistic constituent quark models and it relies on detailed…
Interactions of high-energy neutrinos with matter can be studied through the angular separation observed in dimuon production, an observable particularly sensitive to the transverse momentum dynamics of partons. In this work, we develop a…
A combined expansion in the number of QCD colors 1/N_c and SU(3) flavor breaking parameter epsilon has long been known to provide an excellent accounting for the mass spectrum of the lightest spin-1/2, 3/2 baryons when the quarks are taken…
The recent observation of a hadronic resonance $d^*$ in the proton-neutron system with isospin $I = 0$ and spin-parity $J^P = 3^+$ raises the possibility of producing other novel six-quark dibaryon configurations allowed by QCD. A dramatic…
We study finite density QCD in an approximation in which the interaction between quarks is modelled on that induced by instantons. We sketch the mechanism by which chiral symmetry restoration at finite density occurs in this model. At all…
In the framework chiral SU(3) quark model, the baryon spectra within the band of $N\leq 2$ are studied, and the effect of the confining potential in different configurations, namely the $\Delta$-mode and Y-mode are compared. In the same…
In spite of its many successes, the Standard Model makes many empirical assumptions in the Higgs and fermion sectors for which a deeper theoretical basis is sought. Starting from the usual gauge symmetry $u(1) \times su(2) \times su(3)$…
We show that our recent SU(4) generalized ``rishon'' composite model for quarks and leptons, augmented either by the hypothesis of breaking of color SU(3) to ``glow'' SO(3), or by the hypothesis of incomplete color neutralization in very…
We consider the implications of an extended color group, $SU\left( 3\right) _I\times SU\left( 3\right) _{II}$, spontaneously broken to $SU\left( 3\right) _c$ at a TeV or lower scale, for the hadronic colliders. The associated massive color…
