We present a model for the structure of baryons in which the valence partons interact through a linear potential. This model can be derived from QCD in the approximation where transverse momenta are ignored. We compare the valence quark…
A review is given of the theoretical ideas concerning the mysterious pentaquark baryons proposed during the first year after its discovery. We focus on the difficulties involved with the constituent quark models and the discrepancy between…
In this chapter we give a pedagogical introduction to the constituent quark model. The explanation of magnetic moments of the nucleons was crucial to introduce an effective quark mass for light quarks that nowadays are understood as an…
We briefly review a variety of theoretical and phenomenological indications for the probable importance of powerful diquark correlations in hadronic physics. We demonstrate that the bulk of light hadron spectroscopy can be organized using…
We review the quark-meson coupling model, in which the quark degrees of freedom are explicitly involved to describe the properties of not only nuclear matter but also finite nuclei. Then, we present the electric and magnetic form factors…
In this work the investigation of hadronic structures with the help of the harmonic quarks is prolonged. The harmonic quark model is good at describing the meson structures and the baryon excitations to resonances, in particular…
Using a relativistic constituent quark model based on point form of relativistic quantum mechanics with given set of degrees of freedom we investigate electroweak decays of the pion and rho mesons. All free parameters of quark model (the…
This research summarizes work done by myself (Nucl.Phys.{\bf A641} (1998)461), or in collaboration with R. M. Davidson (Phys.Lett.{\bf B348}(1995)163) and H. Weigel and L. Gamberg (Nucl.Phys.{\bf B560}(1999)xx). I will discuss several…
Strong decays of vector ($^3S_1$) mesons to the pair of pseudoscalar ($^1S_0$) mesons are considered in the framework of the microscopic decay mechanism and the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. The…
We revisit the bottomonium spectrum motivated by the recently exciting experimental progress in the observation of new bottomonium states, both conventional and unconventional. Our framework is a nonrelativistic constituent quark model…
Exotic hadrons are important because their existence or absence can provide important clues to understanding how QCD makes hadrons from quarks and gluons. The first experimentally confirmed exotic will be the first hadron containing both…
In the framework of the relativistic quasipotential quark model the mass spectrum of baryons with two heavy quarks is calculated. The quasipotentials for interactions of two quarks and of a quark with a scalar and axial vector diquark are…
A dynamically broken hadron supersymmetry appears to exist as a consequence of QCD. The reasons for the supersymmetry appear most transparently in the framework of the constituent quark model with a diquark approximation to two quarks.…
I give a brief introduction to light $q\bar{q}$ resonances. The properties of $q\bar{q}$ states are discussed in the context of the constituent quark model, including predictions for mass and partial decay widths. Problems and puzzles in…
The decay constants of pseudoscalar and vector heavy-light mesons are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model with the completely relativistic treatment of the light quark. It is argued that relativistic effects play a…
Long-distance effects in exclusive rare semileptonic transitions B -> (K, K*) are analysed within a relativistic quark model. The meson transition form factors, describing the meson amplitudes of the effective weak Hamiltonian, are…
The kaon electromagnetic (e.m.) form factor is reviewed considering a light-front constituent quark model. In this approach, it is discussed the relevance of the quark-antiquark pair terms for the full covariance of the e.m. current. It is…
We discuss recent results of hadron spectroscopy and hadron-hadron interaction within a quark model framework. New experimental data could point to the important role played by higher order Fock space components on low-energy observables.…
A large number of experimental discoveries especially in the heavy quarkonium sector that did not at all fit to the expectations of the until then very successful quark model led to a renaissance of hadron spectroscopy. Among various…
Masses of heavy baryons and tetraquarks are calculated in the relativistic quark model using the heavy-quark--light-diquark and diquark-antidiquark approximations, respectively.
