Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
These lectures give an introduction to the structure of the nucleon as seen with the electromagnetic probe. Particular emphasis is put on the form factors, the strangeness content, Compton scattering and polarizabilities, pion photo- and…
A longitudinal transition operator that satisfies the gauge invariance requirement is introduced in constituent quark model. The corresponding longitudinal transitions between the nucleon and baryon resonances are calculated. We show that…
We study a stable, soliton-like solution in the linear $\sigma$-model where the chiral fields are coupled to a single massless nonstrange quark. We investigate a possibility that this solution represents the constituent quark of Georgi and…
The chiral quark model suggests that the baryon quark-sea is negatively polarized. This modifies the spin structure as given by the naive quark model and agrees with experimental data. However, for the magnetic moments, there is significant…
We investigate the possibility to describe nuclear matter in an approach constrained by the prominent features of quantum chromodynamics. We mapped the in-medium nucleon self-energies of a point coupling relativistic mean-field model on…
In the first part of the talk, I review what we know (or rather do not know) about the structure of the QCD vacuum in the presence of strange quarks. Chiral perturbation theory allows to study reactions of pions and kaons and to further…
Nucleon magnetic moments display a rich nonanalytic dependence on the quark mass in both quenched and full QCD. They provide a forum for a detailed examination of the connection between quenched and full QCD made possible through the…
We have evaluated nucleon and pion electromagnetic form factors using for the first time eigenfunctions of a light-front mass operator, reproducing a large set of energy levels, and constituent quark form factors in the one-body current.…
It has been conjectured that at distances smaller than the confinement scale but large enough to allow for nonperturbative effects, QCD is described by an effective $SU(N_c {\times} N_f)_L\times SU(N_c {\times} N_f)_R$ chiral Lagrangian.…
We extend the QCD Parton Model analysis by employing a factorized nuclear structure model that explicitly accounts for both individual nucleons and correlated nucleon pairs. This novel framework establishes a paradigm that directly links…
We review the quark-meson coupling model, in which the quark degrees of freedom are explicitly involved to describe the properties of not only nuclear matter but also finite nuclei. Then, we present the electric and magnetic form factors…
We review the status of our understanding of nucleon structure based on the modelling of different kinds of parton distributions. We use the concept of generalized transverse momentum dependent parton distributions and Wigner distributions,…
We discuss the current mass dependence of the basic quantities of the quark models -- constituent quark mass M and quark condensate i<psi^dagger psi >. The framework of the consideration is QCD instanton vacuum model.
We present the first investigation of the extrapolation of quenched nucleon magnetic moments in quenched chiral effective field theory. We utilize established techniques in finite-range regularisation and compare with standard dimensional…
The properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei are studied within the quark mean field (QMF) model by taking the effects of pion and gluon into account at the quark level. The nucleon is described as the combination of three constituent…
The results for the elastic nucleon form factors and the electromagnetic transition amplitudes to the Delta(1232) resonance, obtained with the Hypercentral Constituent Quark Model with the inclusion of a meson cloud correction are briefly…
An approach for describing the electromagnetic form factors of hadrons, in the space- and time-like regions, within a constituent quark model on the light front is shortly illustrated and calculations for the pion case are reported. Three…
This is the first of a sequence of papers that address the non-perturbative origin of the central, and spin-dependent forces between quarks. Its main thrust is a focus on meson spectroscopy in the center of mass frame. We suggest a "dense…
We present recent results of hadron spectroscopy and hadron-hadron interaction from the perspective of constituent quark models. We pay special attention to the role played by higher order Fock space components in the hadron spectra and the…
