Bethe-Salpeter equations: mesons beyond the rainbow-ladder truncation

Richard Williams, Christian S. Fischer

We investigate masses of light mesons from a coupled system of Dyson--Schwinger (DSE) and Bethe--Salpeter equations (BSE), taking into account dominant non-Abelian, sub-leading Abe…

Hadron properties from QCD bound-state equations: A status report

Reinhard Alkofer, Gernot Eichmann, Andreas Krassnigg +1

Employing an approach based on the Green functions of Landau-gauge QCD, some selected results from a calculation of meson and baryon properties are presented. A rainbow-ladder trun…

Covariant solution of the three-quark problem in quantum field theory: the nucleon

G. Eichmann, R. Alkofer, A. Krassnigg +1

We provide details on a recent solution of the nucleon's covariant Faddeev equation in an explicit three-quark approach. The full Poincare-covariant structure of the three-quark am…

Nucleon mass from a covariant three-quark Faddeev equation

G. Eichmann, R. Alkofer, A. Krassnigg +1

We report the first study of the nucleon where the full Poincare-covariant structure of the three-quark amplitude is implemented in the Faddeev equation. We employ an interaction k…

On the efficient computation of high-order derivatives for implicitly defined functions

Mathias Wagner, Andrea Walther, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer

Scientific studies often require the precise calculation of derivatives. In many cases an analytical calculation is not feasible and one resorts to evaluating derivatives numerical…

Volume behaviour of quark condensate, pion mass and decay constant from Dyson-Schwinger equations

Jan Luecker, Christian S. Fischer, Richard Williams

We solve the coupled system of Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations for the quark propagator and the pion Bethe-Salpeter amplitude on a finite volume. To this end we use a…

NJL model of homogeneous neutral quark matter: Pseudoscalar diquark condensates revisited

Hannes Basler, Michael Buballa

We use a Nambu-Jona Lasinio type model to investigate the phase diagram of dense quark matter under neutron star conditions in mean field approximation. The model contains selfcons…

Inhomogeneous phases of strongly interacting matter

Michael Buballa, Dominik Nickel

We discuss possible inhomogeneous phases in two regions of the QCD phase diagram: We begin with color superconducting quark matter at moderately high densities, which is an imbalan…

Strangeness Excitation Functions and Transition from Baryonic to Mesonic Freeze-Out

J. Cleymans, H. Oeschler, K. Redlich +1

The sharp peak in the K+/pi+ ratio in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed in the framework of the Statistical Model. In this model a rapid change is expected as the hadr…

Hadron Production in Ultra-relativistic Nuclear Collisions: Quarkyonic Matter and a Triple Point in the Phase Diagram of QCD

A. Andronic, D. Blaschke, P. Braun-Munzinger +9

We argue that features of hadron production in relativistic nuclear collisions, mainly at CERN-SPS energies, may be explained by the existence of three forms of matter: Hadronic Ma…

Nonlocal quark model beyond mean field and QCD phase transition

D. Blaschke, M. Buballa, A. E. Radzhabov +1

A nonlocal chiral quark model is consistently extended beyond mean field using a strict 1/Nc expansion scheme. The parameters of the nonlocal model are refitted to the physical val…

Particle production in p-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 17 GeV within the statistical model

I. Kraus, J. Cleymans, H. Oeschler +1

A thermal-model analysis of particle production of p-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 17 GeV using the latest available data is presented. The sensitivity of model parameters on data sele…

The canonical partition function for relativistic hadron gases

F. Beutler, A. Andronic, P. Braun-Munzinger +2

Particle production in high-energy collisions is often addressed within the framework of the thermal (statistical) model. We present a method to calculate the canonical partition f…

Thermodynamics of (2+1)-flavor QCD: Confronting Models with Lattice Studies

Bernd-Jochen Schaefer, Mathias Wagner, Jochen Wambach

The Polyakov-quark-meson (PQM) model, which combines chiral as well as deconfinement aspects of strongly interacting matter is introduced for three light quark flavors. An analysis…

The strong coupling and its running to four loops in a minimal MOM scheme

Lorenz von Smekal, Kim Maltman, Andre Sternbeck

We introduce the minimal momentum subtraction (MiniMOM) scheme for QCD. Its definition allows the strong coupling to be fixed solely through a determination of the gluon and ghost…
