Hadron production in relativistic nuclear collisions is well described in the framework of the statistical hadronization model, over a broad range of collision energies. We outline this for hadrons composed of light (u, d, s) and heavy…
We introduce an algebraic framework for the description of baryons. Within this framework we study a collective string-like model and show that this model gives a good overall description of the presently available data. We discuss in…
The electric polarizability of mesons, in particular, that of the charged pion, is studied in the framework of a semirelativistic description of hadrons as bound states of valence quarks in terms of a Hamiltonian composed of the…
Quark models have a more than 60-year history and through this time they served as a powerful investigation and prediction tool in hadronic physics. In recent years, a lot of new experimental information has been arriving on hadrons that do…
A critical discussion is given of the results for baryon electromagnetic and axial form factors obtained from relativistic constituent quark models in the framework of Poincar\'e-invariant quantum mechanics. The primary emphasis lies on the…
We present a relativistic constituent-quark model that covers all known baryons from the nucleon up to $\Omega_{bbb}$. The corresponding invariant mass operator includes a linear confinement and a hyperfine interaction based on effective…
Hadronization corrections to the predictions of perturbative QCD are reviewed. The existing models for the conversion of quarks and gluons into hadrons are summarized. The most successful models give a good description of the data on…
Tremendous progress has been made in mapping out the spectrum of hadrons over the past decade with plans to make further advances in the decade ahead. Baryons and mesons, both expected and unexpected, have been found, the results of…
The effects of the exchanges of both pseudoscalar and vector mesons among constituent quarks on the mass spectra of light baryons are investigated, paying particular attention to the contribution of tensor and spin-orbit terms. It is shown…
The main assumption of the model is that in soft processes mesons behave like systems made of valence quarks and an effective vacuum- like field. The 4-momentum of the latter represents the relativistic generalization of the potential…
The hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon which are relevant for the confrontation between theory and experiment at the present level of accuracy, are evaluated within the same framework: the constituent chiral…
In these introductory notes I give a brief overview on some theoretical aspects of light baryon spectroscopy. The first part contains a discussion of the symmetries of the baryon spectrum, the construction of flavor wave functions and some…
While quark-hadron duality is well-established experimentally, the current theoretical understanding of this important phenomenon is quite limited. To expose the essential features of the dynamics behind duality, we use a simple model in…
Heavy quark spin symmetry is discussed in the context of single and doubly heavy baryons. A special attention is paid to the constraints/simplifications that this symmetry imposes on the non-relativistic constituent quark model wave…
We report the chiral quark model approach for the study of baryon resonances in meson photoproduction and meson-nucleon scattering processes. Focussing on the $\pi N$ and $K N$ scatterings, we show that the cross sections near threshold can…
The physics of exotic hadrons is revisited and reviewed, with emphasis on flavour configurations which have not yet been investigated. The constituent quark model of multiquark states is discussed in some detail, as it can serve as a guide…
Assuming the spin-independence for confining force, we give a covariant quark representation of general composite meson systems with definite Lorentz transformation properties. For benefit of this representation we are able to deduce…
Mass spectra of baryons consisting of two heavy (b or c) and one light quarks are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The light quark-heavy diquark structure of the baryon is assumed. Under this assumption the…
We present a microscopic derivation of the form factors of strong-interaction piNN and piNDelta vertices within a relativistic constituent quark model. The results are compared with form factors from phenomenological meson-baryon models and…
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…
