Charge symmetry breaking (CSB) in particle and nuclear physics is reviewed. The data and
theory relevant to understand CSB in hadronic mass spittings, interactions and decay rates; …

We show that mesons—from the π to the Υ—can be described in a unified quark model with
chromodynamics. The key ingredient of the model is a universal one-gluon-exchange-plus …

We have studied the three-quark system in a relativized version of the quark potential model
with chromodynamics. With parameters consistent with those of an analogous study of the …

Widely regarded as a classic in its field, Constructing Quarks recounts the history of the post-
war conceptual development of elementary-particle physics. Inviting a reappraisal of the …

We explicitly formulate the vacuum quark-pair-creation model (QPC) of strong-interaction
vertices (Micu, Carlitz and Kislinger) in terms of the harmonic-oscillator spatial-SU (6) wave …

Quark models of hadrons are tested in a very limited way when only their spectroscopy is
compared with experiment; at least equally important tests arise from examining the …

We have examined meson decays in a model with chromoelectric flux-tube breaking
motivated by the strong-coupling limit of QCD. Our analysis includes all of the simple decay …

It is shown that the naive quark-pair—creation model, perhaps the simplest generalization of
the additive quark model treating all the hadrons as composite, correctly describes the …

We make an extensive comparison of the naive quark-pair-creation model of strong-
interaction vertices for π N→ N*→ Δ π, ρ N, σ N→ π π N with recent experimental results …
