Two body weak processes $\Lambda N \leftrightarrow NN$ are studied from the viewpoint of quark substructure of baryons.They can be studied in nonmesonic weak decays of hypernuclei and also hyperon production in the $NN$ scattering. The…
In a strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma, collective excitations of gluons and quarks should dominate over the excitation of individual quasi-free gluon and quark modes. To explore this possibility, we computed screening masses for…
Corrections to meson/ground-state baryon scattering amplitudes in the 1/N_c expansion of QCD have previously been shown to be controlled by the t-channel difference |I_t - J_t| of isospin and angular momentum and by the change of…
The flavor and spin structure for the quark distributions of the $\Lambda$-baryon is studied in a perturbative QCD (pQCD) analysis and in the SU(6) quark-diquark model, and then applied to calculate the $\Lambda$-polarization of…

We introduce diquarks as separable correlations in the two-quark Green's function to facilitate the description of baryons as relativistic three-quark bound states. These states then emerge as solutions of Bethe-Salpeter equations for…
