The transition helicity amplitudes from the proton ground state to the $N(1440)1/2^+$, $N(1520)3/2^-$, and $\Delta(1620)1/2^-$ resonances ($\gamma_vpN^*$ electrocouplings) were determined from the analysis of nine independent one-fold…

We address an actual problem of baryon-resonance dominated meson-exchange processes in the low GeV regime, i.e. the phase and the structure of meson-NN* transition vertices. Our starting point is a quark-diquark model for the baryons…

A variational framework is developed to examine the equilibrium states of a semi-flexible polymer that is constrained to lie on a fixed surface. As an application the confinement of a closed polymer loop of fixed length $2\pi R$ within a…
We employ a relativistic quark bag picture, the chromo-dielectric soliton model, to discuss the quarks' symmetry structure and momentum distribution in the $N$-$N$ system. Six-quark clusters are constructed in a constrained mean-field…
Starting from the standard and commonly used relativistic nucleon wave function, we show that residual interactions based on gluon or Goldstone boson exchanges generate additional components leading to configuration mixing. This result…
Recent heavy ion experiments indicate modifications of the $\rho-$meson mass in medium. In the CERES experiments $\rho-$mesons are produced at $\sim$ normal nuclear matter density, where hadrons are more appropriate constituents than…
We report on the recent results of the hypercentral constituent quark model. The model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction which is inspired by QCD lattice calculations and reproduces the average energy values of the SU(6)…
