Taking the effective interaction between a quark and an anti-quark from previous work, the dependendence on a regularization scale is removed in line with the renormalization group. In order to emphasize the essential point, the full spinor…

The cross section for the \J~and \U~interaction with light hadrons is calculated in short-distance QCD, based on the large heavy quark mass and the resulting large energy gap to open charm or beauty. The low energy form of the cross section…

We investigate interacting quark matter (IQM), including the perturbative QCD correction and color superconductivity, for both up-down quark matter ($ud$QM) and strange quark matter (SQM). We first derive an equation of state (EOS) unifying…
The scale dependence of an effective average action for mesons and quarks is described by a nonperturbative flow equation. The running couplings lead to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. We argue that for strong Yukawa coupling between…
We establish a connection between the quark model results and the $1/N_c$ expansion mass formula used in the description of baryon resonances. We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the two methods.

Quarks in strong magnetic fields (|eB|>>Lambda_QCD^2 ~ 0.04 GeV^2) acquire enhanced infrared phase space proportional to |eB|. Accordingly they provide larger chiral condensates and stronger backreactions to the gluon dynamics. Confronting…
