We investigate capabilities of the effective interaction in a rainbow-ladder truncated meson model of QCD within a covariant Landau-gauge Bethe-Salpeter-equation approach. Based upon past success for the light- as well as heavy-quark…

We study the electroweak properties of pseudo-scalar mesons in the light and heavy-light sectors. In particular, we address the electromagnetic form factors and decay constants of the pion, kaon and D mesons. The structure of composite…
This thesis presents an investigation of meson and baryon properties in the framework of covariant bound-state equations based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. Pion and rho-meson, diquark, nucleon and delta-baryon masses are…
In the covariant quark-diquark model the effective Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations for the nucleon and the $\Delta$ are solved including scalar {\em and axialvector} diquark correlations. Their quark substructure is effectively taken into…
In a relativistic quark model with linear confinement and an instanton-induced interaction which solves the $\eta$-$\eta'$ puzzle, scalar mesons are found as almost pure SU(3) flavor states. This suggests a new interpretation of the scalar…

Baryons are modeled as bound states of scalar or axialvector diquarks and a constituent quark which interact through quark exchange. This description results as an approximation to the relativistic Faddeev equation for three quarks. The…

The contribution of axial-vector mesons to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment through a light-by-light process is considered within a nonlocal quark model. The model is based on a four-quark interaction with scalar--pseudoscalar and…
The baryon octet and decuplet masses and Bethe-Salpeter vertex and wave functions are calculated in the ladder approximation to the quark exchange between a scalar or axialvector diquark and a constituent quark. These functions reflecting…
We report results of masses and decay constants of light and charmed pseudo-scalar mesons using lattice QCD with M\"obius domain-wall fermions. Using this formulation we are able to compute pseudo-scalar decay constants through the…
The description of baryons as fully relativistic bound states of quark and glue reduces to an effective Bethe-Salpeter equation with quark-exchange interaction when irreducible 3-quark interactions are neglected and separable 2-quark…
Combining the recent lattice calculation of $a_0(1450)$ and $\sigma(600)$ mesons with the overlap fermion in the chiral regime with the pion mass less than $300 {\rm MeV}$, the quenched lattice calculation of the scalar glueball, and the…
As an application of the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) we calculate the spectrum of heavy-light and heavy-heavy mesons using covariant versions of a linear confining potential, a one- gluon exchange, and a constant interaction. The CST…
Within a lattice inspired interaction between quark and antiquark, we obtain a hierarchy of solutions to the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for vector quarkonia excited states in the constituent quark mass approximation. As a toy model, we…

Mesons with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ cannot be represented as simple quark-antiquark pairs. We explore hybrid configurations in the light meson sector comprising a quark, an antiquark and an excited gluon, studying the properties of…
