A confining extension of the quark model with nonlocal currents is proposed. The quark propagator is modified by introducing a cut in {\alpha}-space, which in momentum space corresponds to the subtraction of pole singularities. A two-phase…

Establishing a description for confinement is not something simple. In order to try to understand a little about this phenomenon, we will explore the thermodynamics of models that try to describe it in terms of propagators with violation of…

Quark models taking into account the dynamical effects of hadronic decay often produce very different predictions for mass shifts in the hadron spectrum. The consequences for meson spectroscopy can be dramatic and completely obscure the…
The results of a model for meson-meson scattering are studied. The model is shown to be capable of on the one hand reproducing the scattering data, while on the other hand a quark-antiquark confinement spectrum can be determined. It is…

Nowadays, there exists an abundance of theoretical approaches towards the mesonic spectrum, ranging from confinement models of all kinds, i.e., glueballs, and quark-antiquark, multiquark and hybrid configurations, to models in which only…

Smooth transitions from hadronic matter to hot and dense matter of quantum chromodynamics accompany continuous transformations in effective degrees of freedom. The microscopic descriptions should include relativistic quarks interacting…
We study pseudoscalar $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ meson properties, such as masses and couplings, in dense matter at zero temperature. We use a recently proposed phenomenological quark model, known as the PNJL0, which takes into account the…
We present a model for quark matter with a density dependent quark-quark (confining) potential, which allows to describe a deconfinement phase transition as the system evolves from a low density assembly of bound structures to a high…
It has long been known that QCD undergoes a deconfining phase transition at high temperature. One of the consequent features of this new, quark-gluon phase is that hadrons become unbounded. In this talk meson correlation functions at…
We study effects of a thermal-quark mass and Landau damping of quarks on the chiral phase transition and its soft modes at finite temperature. For this purpose we employ a simple model with the quark propagator obtained in the hard thermal…
