We employ a 3 flavor NJL model to stress some general remarks about the QCD critical line. The dependence of the critical curve on $\mu_q=(\mu_u+\mu_d)/2$ and $\mu_I=(\mu_u-\mu_d)/2$ is discussed. The quark masses are varied to confirm…
The electromagnetic N-$\Delta$ transition form factors are calculated in the framework of a formally covariant constituent diquark model. As a spin-3/2 particle the $\Delta$ is assumed to be a bound state of a quark and an axial-vector…
