QCD instantons are known to produce deeply bound diquarks. We study whether it may be used as building blocks in the formation of multiquark states, in particular pentaquarks and dibaryons. A simple model is presented in which the lowest…
Many-body interactions in effective field theories for disordered interacting electrons are considered. It is shown that three-body and higher interaction terms are generated in perturbation theory, and some of the physical consequences of…
In this contribution I will try to give an overview of what has been achieved in constituent quark models of mesons and baryons by a comparison of some selected results from various ansaetze with experimental data. In particular I will…
Baryons are treated as three-quark systems using QCD degrees of freedom in Poincare-covariant bound-state equations. The quark self-energy as well as the interaction between quarks are approximated by a vector-vector interaction via a…
We perform a coupled-channels study of the $bb\bar c\bar c$ and $bc\bar b\bar c$ tetraquark systems in a molecular approach using a constituent quark model which has been widely used to satisfactorily describe a broad range of properties of…
New results on baryon structure and spectrum developed in collaboration with Dan Riska [1-4] are reported. The main idea is that beyond the chiral symmetry spontaneous breaking scale light and strange baryons should be considered as systems…
We study neutron matter and symmetric nuclear matter with the quark-meson model for the two-nucleon interaction. The Bethe-Bruckner-Goldstone many-body theory is used to describe the correlations up to the three hole-line approximation with…
A constituent quark model, which has recently been successfully applied to the study of heavy quarkonium properties such as its spectrum but also a diverse array of observables related with their electromagnetic, strong and weak decays and…
We present a unified framework for heavy tetraquark and pentaquark systems within the quark-diquark effective mass formalism, extending its baryon-calibrated construction to multiquark states without introducing sector-dependent parameters.…
We study the properties of strange quark matter in equilibrium with normal nuclear matter. Instead of using the conventional bag model in quark sector, we achieve the confinement by a density-dependent quark mass derived from in-medium…
We present a new model for the description of heavy-quark hadronization in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in the presence of a reservoir of lighter thermal particles with which recombination can occur leading to the formation of…
The study of light hadrons is central to the understanding of confinement--a unique property of QCD. The quark model describs mesons as bound states of quarks and antiquarks. LQCD and QCD-motivated models for hadrons, however, predict a…
In this thesis a model framework for describing baryons as diquark-quark bound states is presented which is formulated in an explicitly covariant manner. The relativistic bound state problem for three quarks is considered. Diquarks are…
We study quark confinement in a system of two parallel domain walls interpolating different color dielectric media. We use the phenomenological approach in which the confinement of quarks appears considering the QCD vacuum as a color…
We give a review of the calculations of the masses of tetraquarks with two and four heavy quarks in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach and QCD. The diquark-antidiquark picture of heavy…
The phase structure of hadronic matter at high density relevant to the physics of compact stars and relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied in a low-energy effective quark theory. The relevant phases that figure are (1) chiral…
The three-nucleon bound state problem is studied employing nucleon-nucleon potentials derived from a basic quark-quark interaction. We analyze the effects of the nonlocalities generated by the quark model. The calculated triton binding…
A simple quark-diquark model of baryons with direct and exchange interactions is constructed. Spectrum and form factors are calculated and compared with experimental data. Advantages and disadvantages of the model are discussed.
In nuclear physics, triton and helium-3 nucleus can be understood as three-body hadronic molecules. Analogous to the loosely bound structures for the triton and helium-3 nucleus, whether there is a bound state formed by three hadrons leaves…
Only two-body [${\rm F}_{i} \cdot {\rm F}_{j}$] confining potentials have been considered, thus far, in the quark model without gluons, which by construction can only depend on the quadratic Casimir operator of the colour SU(3) group. A…
