QCD theory allows the existence of states which cannot be built by the naive quark model; both theoretical arguments and experimental data confirm the hypothesis that gluons may have freedom degrees at the constituent level, and should be…
A model of mesons which is based on the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge is presented. The model relies on a novel quasiparticle basis to improve the reliability of the Fock space expansion. It is also relativistic, yields chiral pions, and…
The model of induced quark currents formulated in our recent paper (Phys. Rev. D51, 176) is developed. The model being a kind of nonlocal extension of the bosonization procedure is based on the hypothesis that the QCD vacuum is realized by…
This thesis describes work done by me during my tenure as a Ph.D. student at the Centre for High Energy Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction to QCD. In Chapter 2, we formulate QCD in the…
We analyze the properties of mesons in 1+1 dimensional QCD with bosonic and fermionic ``quarks'' in the large $\nc$ limit. We study the spectrum in detail and show that it is impossible to obtain massless mesons including boson constituents…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, in principle describes the interaction of quark and gluon fields. However, due to the self-coupling of the gluons, quarks and gluons are confined into hadrons and cannot exist…
Since Quantum Choromdynamics allows for gluon self-coupling, quarks and gluons cannot be observed as free particles, but only their bound states, the hadrons. This so-called confinement phenomenon is responsible for $98\%$ of the mass in…
The vast majority of mesons can be understood as quark-antiquark states. Yet, various other possibilities exists: glueballs (bound-state of gluons), hybrids (quark-antiquark plus gluon), and four-quark states (either as diquark-antidiquark…
We consider the two- and three-flavor QMD models as renormalizable low-energy models for QCD at finite quark chemical potentials with quarks, mesons, and diquarks as effective degrees of freedom. Using the on-shell scheme the parameters in…
We study 't Hooft's equation for bound states in 2d multicolor QCD. We consider the case of quarks with equal masses. We derive asymptotic expansions for the spectrum of mesons in different regimes and study their properties.
A holographic model for QCD is employed to investigate the effects of the gluon condensate on the spectrum and melting of scalar mesons. We find the evolution of the free energy density with the temperature, and the result shows that the…
The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei, is applied to a systematic study of $\Lambda, \Sigma$ and $\Xi$ hypernuclei. Assumptions…
The properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei are studied within the quark mean field (QMF) model by taking the effects of pion and gluon into account at the quark level. The nucleon is described as the combination of three constituent…
We provide a brief review of recent progress in the study of mesons using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations. Along the way we touch on aspects of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking but in the main focus upon: exact results for…
The small momentum fraction x behaviour of quarks in mesons is analysed in the 1+1-dimensional reduced model of large-N QCD by light-cone quantisation.
Aiming at the calculation of the properties of rho-mesons, non-perturbative QCD-based methods are discussed concerning their potentials as well as their short-comings. The latter are overcome by combining these techniques. The utilized…
The confinement mechanism proposed earlier by the author is applied to problem of arising the so-called scale $\Lambda_{QCD}$ within the framework of QCD. The natural physical assumption consists of that $1/\Lambda_{QCD}\,\sim\,<r>$ where…
We review recent progress in modeling the quark-gluon content of mesons and their low-energy interactions through the Global Color Model field theory. An emphasis is placed on techniques that are shared with the approach based on…
This work is driven by our curiosity towards some basic questions in QCD: how is the energy of a moving hadron partitioned among different gauge-invariant sectors in QCD Hamiltonian? How is the energy of an massless pion separated between…
The main motivation is to investigate meson properties in the quark model to understand the model applicability and generate possible improvements. Certain modifications to the model are suggested which have been inspired by fundamental QCD…
