In high-energy physics, confinement denotes the tendency of fundamental particles to remain bound together, preventing their observation as free, isolated entities. Interestingly, analogous confinement behavior emerges in certain condensed…

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…
A sufficient condition for the confinement of quarks is presented. Quarks are shown to be unobservable. Colour singlets are however, observables. The results of deep inelastic scattering are discussed. We argue that QCD does not exhibit a…
