The infrared behaviour of QCD Green's functions: confinement, dynamical symmetry breaking, and hadrons as relativistic bound states

R Alkofer, L Von Smekal - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier
Recent studies of QCD Green's functions and their applications in hadronic physics are
reviewed. We discuss the definition of the generating functional in gauge theories, in …

Dyson–Schwinger equations: a tool for hadron physics

P Maris, CD Roberts - International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2003 - World Scientific
Dyson–Schwinger equations furnish a Poincaré covariant framework within which to study
hadrons. A particular feature is the existence of a nonperturbative, symmetry preserving …

Dyson-Schwinger equations: Density, temperature and continuum strong QCD

CD Roberts, SM Schmidt - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2000 - Elsevier
Continuum strong QCD is the application of models and continuum quantum field theory to
the study of phenomena in hadronic physics, which includes; eg, the spectrum of QCD …

Distribution functions of the nucleon and pion in the valence region

RJ Holt, CD Roberts - arXiv preprint arXiv:1002.4666, 2010 - arxiv.org
We provide an experimental and theoretical perspective on the behavior of unpolarized
distribution functions for the nucleon and pion on the valence-quark domain; namely …

Valence-quark distributions in the pion

MB Hecht, CD Roberts, SM Schmidt - Physical Review C, 2001 - APS
We calculate the pion's valence-quark momentum-fraction probability distribution using a
Dyson-Schwinger equation model. Valence quarks with an active mass of 0.30 GeV carry …

Octet and decuplet baryons in a covariant and confining diquark-quark model

M Oettel, G Hellstern, R Alkofer, H Reinhardt - Physical Review C, 1998 - APS
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 …

Flavor dependence of the pion and kaon form factors and parton distribution functions

PTP Hutauruk, IC Cloet, AW Thomas - Physical Review C, 2016 - APS
The separate quark flavor contributions to the pion and kaon valence quark distribution
functions are studied, along with the corresponding electromagnetic form factors in the …

Current conservation in the covariant quark-diquark model of the nucleon

M Oettel, MA Pichowsky, L von Smekal - The European Physical Journal A, 2000 - Springer
The description of baryons as fully relativistic bound states of quark and glue reduces to an
effective Bethe-Salpeter equation with quark-exchange interaction when irreducible 3-quark …

Nucleon properties in the covariant quark-diquark model

M Oettel, R Alkofer, L Von Smekal - The European Physical Journal A, 2000 - Springer
In the covariant quark-diquark model the effective Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations for the
nucleon and the Δ are solved including scalar and axial vector diquark correlations. Their …

Nucleon form factors in a covariant diquark-quark model

G Hellstern, R Alkofer, M Oettel, H Reinhardt - Nuclear Physics A, 1997 - Elsevier
In a model where constituent quarks and diquarks interact through quark exchange the
Bethe-Salpeter equation in ladder approximation for the nucleon is solved. Quark and …
