Spinning Pairs: Supporting Quark-Pair Creation from Landau Gauge Green's Functions
Reinhard Alkofer, Felipe J. Llanes-Estrada, Alexandre Salas-Bernardez
Abundant phenomenology suggests that strong decays from relatively low-excitation hadrons into other hadrons proceed by the creation of a light quark-antiquark pair with zero total…
Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Quantum Chromo Dynamics: Delicate and Intricate
Reinhard Alkofer
Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking (DCSB) in Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) for the light quarks is an indispensable concept for understanding hadron physics, i.e., the spectrum and…
Quark Confinement: The Hard Problem of Hadron Physics
R. Alkofer, J. Greensite
We give a brief overview of the problem of quark confinement in hadronic physics, and outline a few of the suggested explanations of the confining force.
The Elusiveness of Infrared Critical Exponents in Landau Gauge Yang--Mills Theories
C. S. Fischer, R. Alkofer, H. Reinhardt
We solve a truncated system of coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations for the gluon and ghost propagators in SU() Yang-Mills theories in Faddeev-Popov quantization on a four-torus.…
Octet and Decuplet Baryons in a Confining and Covariant Diquark-Quark Model
R. Alkofer, S. Ahlig, C. Fischer +2
We treat baryons as bound states of scalar or axialvector diquarks and a constituent quark which interact through quark exchange. We obtain fully four-dimensional wave functions fo…
Octet and Decuplet Baryons in a Covariant and Confining Diquark-Quark Model
M. Oettel, G. Hellstern, R. Alkofer +1
The baryon octet and decuplet masses and Bethe-Salpeter vertex and wave functions are calculated in the ladder approximation to the quark exchange between a scalar or axialvector d…
