Abstract

We are considering the modifications of gluon properties in Instanton Liquid Model (ILM) for the QCD vacuum. Re-scattering of a gluons on an instantons leads to the dynamical momentum-dependent gluon mass Mg(q).M_g(q). First, we considered scalar "gluon", since there are no zero-modes problem and found its dynamical mass Ms(q)M_s(q). At the typical phenomenological values of the average instanton size ρ=1/3fm\rho=1/3\,\,fm and average inter-instanton distance R=1fmR=1\,\, fm we got Ms(0)=256MeVM_s(0)=256\,\,MeV. Further, we extended this approach to the real vector gluon with careful consideration of zero-modes and got Mg2(q)=2Ms2(q).M^2_g(q)=2M^2_s(q). This modification of the gluon in the instanton media might be important for the heavy quarkonium physics at least.
