Density fluctuations of intranuclear matter suffering collisions with projectile particles are capable to turn into multiquark clusters with chiral symmetry restored. Theoretical analysis of these processes requires an additional taking…
A low energy effective field theory model for QCD with a scalar color octet field is discussed. The model relates the gluon mass, the constituent quark masses and the quark condensate. The gluon mass comes about $\sqrt{N_c}\, \Lambda_{QCD}$…
The electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon are calculated in an extended chiral constituent-quark model where the effective interaction is described by the exchange of pseudoscalar, vector, and scalar mesons. Two-body current-density…

The, so called, "hard-scattering approach" represents a suitable framework for the perturbative treatment of exclusive hadronic processes at large energies and (transverse) momentum transfers. In this context, diquarks can serve as a useful…
The radiative decay $\Sigma_Q^* \rightarrow \Lambda_Q\gamma$ can have both magnetic dipole (M1) and electric quadrupole (E2) components. In the heavy quark limit $M_Q\rightarrow\infty$ the transition arises from the spin of the light…

We study a new mechanism for the electromagnetic gauging of chiral bosons showing that new possibilities emerge for the interacting theory of chiral scalars. We introduce a chirally coupled gauge field necessary to mod out the degree of…
The ratio of the sigma mass to the pion mass at finite temperatures and densities provides for a quantitative signal of chiral symmetry breaking. We calculate this ratio by using an extension to finite chemical potential of the field…

We construct a chiral Lagrangian for doubly heavy baryons and heavy mesons that is invariant under heavy quark-diquark symmetry at leading order and includes the leading O(1/m_Q) symmetry violating operators. The theory is used to predict…
A comprehensive study of the phase structure of the two-flavor quark-meson-diquark model is presented within the nonperturbative functional renormalization group framework. The influence of mesonic fluctuations beyond the mean-field…
We calculate the electric charge radii of the SU(3) pseudoscalar mesons and the SU(3) octet baryons in quenched and partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. We work in the isospin limit, up to next-to-leading order in the chiral…
The chiral expansion of nucleon properties such as mass, magnetic moment, and magnetic polarizability are investigated in the framework of chiral perturbation theory, with and without the heavy-baryon expansion. The analysis makes use of a…
