We start from a system of six interacting constituent quarks and examine how the picture of two nucleons can change when substructure of the nucleons are taken into account.
The conflict between cononical commutation relation and gauge invariance, which both the momentum and angular momentum of quark and gluon should satisfy, is clarified. The quantum version of gauge invariance is studied. The gauge…

Quark-model descriptions of the nucleon-nucleon interaction contain two main ingredients, a quark-exchange mechanism for the short-range repulsion and meson-exchanges for the medium- and long-range parts of the interaction. We point out the…
A relativistic quark model of mesons formulated within the formalism of Fokker-type action integrals is proposed, in which an interquark interaction is mediated by scalar-vector superposition of higher derivative fields. In the…

The theory of nuclear structure (binding, low energy spectra, transitions, etc.) depends on nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions. The meson theory of NN interactions has predictive power for NN scattering, and partial success when applied to…
