CONFINEMENT AND QUARK STRUCTURE OF LIGHT HADRONS

Abstract

We present a quark confinement model (QCM) for the description of the low energy physics of light hadrons (meson and baryons). The model is based on two hypotheses. First, the quark confinement is realized as averaging over some vacuum gluon fields which are believed to provide the confinement of any color objects. Second, hadrons are treated as collective colorless excitations of quark-gluon interactions. The description of strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions of mesons and baryons at the low energy is given from a unique point of view.
