A recently developed model for the QCD analytic invariant charge is compared with quenched lattice simulation data on the static quark-antiquark potential. By employing this strong running coupling one is able to obtain the confining…
It has become traditional to assume that the Dirac structure of the phenomenological quark confinement potential is scalar $\otimes$ scalar. We use the heavy quark expansion of the Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian and the Flux Tube model to…
Effective field theory methods provide a convenient approach to study static observables in field theory at finite temperature. In this talk, I will outline the construction of the effective field theory that describes effective observables…
QCD permits the existence of hybrid mesons that are made up of both quarks and gluons, including exotic states, i.e., quantum numbers prohibited for pure quark-antiquark states, with possible candidates found in experiments. We present…
We show that the effective field theory of low energy modes in dense QCD has positive Euclidean path integral measure. The complexity of the measure of QCD at finite chemical potential can be ascribed to modes which are irrelevant to the…
Homogeneous power counting in Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) implies the simultaneous existence of both soft and ultrasoft gluons. In the velocity renormalization group (vNRQCD) formalism we show that operators involving soft fields…
The hybrid quarkonium states are studied using the Born-Oppenheimer expansion. The first step in this expansion is the determination of the energy levels of the gluons in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair as a function of the…
The short- and intermediate-distance behaviour of the hybrid adiabatic potentials is calculated in the framework of the QCD string model. The calculations are performed with the inclusion of Coulomb force. Spin-dependent force and the…
We report on a recent investigation on heavy quarkonium hybrids that goes beyond the usual Born-Oppenheimer approximation by including not only the mixing between nearby hybrid states but also the mixing with quarkonium states. We use a…
Recent developments of perturbation theory at finite temperature based on effective field theory methods are reviewed. These methods allow the contributions from the different scales to be separated and the perturbative series to be…
Hybrid quarkonia -exotic hadrons with explicit gluonic degrees of freedom- have gained increasing attention in hadron spectroscopy, particularly with the ongoing discovery of new XYZ mesons. In this work, we update the spectrum of heavy…
We review a number of results for the spectrum and inclusive decays of heavy quarkonium systems which can be derived from QCD under well controlled approximations. They essentially follow from the hierarchy of scales in these systems, which…
We review recent progress in Non-Relativistic QCD and in related Non-Relativistic Effective Field Theories with emphasis on the applications to heavy quarkonia.
Quarkonium suppression is one of the most investigated probes of the medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. In this thesis we extend the well-established and successful zero temperature framework of Non-Relativistic (NR) Effective Field…
In these lectures we discuss the uses of effective field theory in studying dense hadronic matter. We focus on two regimes in the phase diagram. At low baryon density nucleons can be described as non-relativistic point particles interacting…
We interpret the spectrum of meson states recently obtained in non-perturbative lattice QCD calculations in terms of constituent quark-antiquark bound states and states, called `hybrids', in which the qqbar pair is supplemented by an…
We compute the momentum dependence of the effective four quark interaction in QCD after integrating out the gluons. Our method is based on a truncation of exact renormalization group equations which should give reasonable results for…
We present a new perspective on the study of the behavior of the strong coupling $\alpha_s(Q^2)$ -- the fundamental coupling underlying the interactions between quarks and gluons as described by the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) -- in the…
An effective hamiltonian for heavy quarkonia is derived from QCD by separating gluonic fields in background and quantum fields and neglecting anharmonic contributions. Mesonic states with nonperturbative gluonic components are constructed.…
Propagation of the heavy quark in the field of a static antiquark source is studied in the framework of effective Dirac equation. The model of QCD vacuum is described by bilocal gluonic correlators. In the heavy quark limit the effective…
