The kernels in the tangible matter of our everyday experience are composed of light quarks. At least, they are light classically; but they don’t remain light. Dynamical effects within the Standard Model of Particle Physics change them in remarkable ways, so that in some configurations they appear nearly massless, but in others possess masses on the scale of light nuclei. Modern experiment and theory are exposing the mechanisms responsible for these remarkable transformations. The rewards are…

Emergent phenomena and partonic structure in hadrons

Modern facilities are poised to tackle fundamental questions within the Standard Model, aiming to reveal the nature of confinement, its relationship to dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) – the…

$$N^*$$N∗ Structure and Strong QCD

In attempting to match QCD with Nature, it is necessary to confront the many complexities of strong, nonlinear dynamics in relativistic quantum field theory, e.g. the loss of particle number…

Diquark correlations in hadron physics: Origin, impact and evidence

Effective Degrees of Freedom in Baryon Spectroscopy

Three quark and quark–diquark models are characterized by several missing resonances, even if in the latter case the state space is a reduced one. Moreover, even quark–diquark models show some…

Valence-Quark Structure of N* Resonances from DSEs

A unified Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)-based description of elastic and transition electromagnetic form factors involving the nucleon and its resonances is presented. We use two different frameworks…

Nucleon-to-resonance form factors at large photon virtualities

We present a unified description of elastic and transition form factors involving the nucleon and its resonances; in particular, the $N(1440)$, $\Delta(1232)$ and $\Delta(1600)$. We compare…

Spectrum and Structure of Excited Baryons with CLAS

In this contribution I discuss recent results in light quark baryon spectroscopy involving CLAS data and higher level analysis results from the partial wave analysis by the Bonn-Gatchina group. New…

Colloquium : Roper resonance: Toward a solution to the fifty year puzzle

Discovered in 1963, the Roper resonance appears to be an exact copy of the proton except that its mass is 50% greater and it is unstable. These features of the Roper have been very difficult to…

On the possibility of revealing the transition of a baryon pair state to a six-quark confinement state

Proton-proton collisions are considered to find favourable conditions for searching for the transition of a baryon pair state to a hexa-quark confinement state (3q) + (3q) → (6q)cnf. It is admitted…

Role of chiral symmetry in the nucleon excitation spectrum

The origin of the low-lying nature of the $N$*(1440), or Roper resonance, has been the subject of significant interest for many years, including several investigations using lattice QCD. The majority…

Confinement Contains Condensates

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and its connection to the generation of hadron masses has historically been viewed as a vacuum phenomenon. We argue that confinement makes such a position…

Three Lectures on Hadron Physics

These lectures explain that comparisons between experiment and theory can expose the impact of running couplings and masses on hadron observables and thereby aid materially in charting the momentum…

Confinement of quarks

The pion: an enigma within the Standard Model

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the strongly interacting part of the Standard Model. It is supposed to describe all of nuclear physics; and yet, almost fifty years after the discovery of gluons and…

Exploring the light-quark interaction

Two basic motivations for an upgraded JLab facility are the needs: to determine the essential nature of light-quark confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB); and to understand…

New perspectives on the quark condensate

We show that the chiral-limit vacuum quark condensate is qualitatively equivalent to the pseudoscalar meson leptonic decay constant in the sense that they are both obtained as the chiral-limit value…

Hadron Physics and QCD: Just the Basic Facts.

With discovery of the Higgs boson, the Standard Model of Particle Physics became complete. Its formulation is a remarkable story; and the process of verification is continuing, with the most…
