The quarks of quark models cannot be identified with the quarks of the QCD Lagrangian. We review the restrictions that gauge field theories place on any description of physical (colour) charges. A method to construct charged particles is…

We discuss diffractive dissociation of gluons into heavy quark pairs. The particular mechanism is similar to the diffractive dissociation of virtual photons into quarks. The amplitude for the $g p \to Q \bar Q p$ is derived in the impact…
The interaction of quarkonium with nuclei is studied in the $m_Q\rightarrow \infty$ limit of QCD, where the binding energy is found to be exactly computable. The dominant contribution to the interaction is from two-gluon operators. The…

It has been argued recently that diquarks, a pair of quarks in the anti-triplet representation of SU(3) color, are important building blocks of baryons. The assumption that the scalar diquark is tightly bound seems to be nicely accommodated…
Heavy multi-quark potential in the SU(N) color group using hard-wall AdS/QCD at both zero and finite temperature is studied. A Cornell-like potential is obtained for baryons and other exotic configurations and compared with those in the…
Using a loop formulation approach of QCD$_2$, we study the potential between two heavy quarks in the presence of adjoint scalar fields, and demonstrate how 't Hooft's planar rule is manifested in this formulation. Based on some physical…
We study field strength correlators in presence of a static quark-antiquark pair by use of lattice methods. The lattice data have been acquired recently in the context of a determination of relativistic corrections to the static interquark…

A hybrid meson is a quark-antiquark pair in which, contrary to ordinary mesons, the gluon field is in an excited state. In the framework of constituent models, the interaction potential is assumed to be the energy of an excited string. An…
