Mesons and diquarks in Coulomb-gauge QCD

چکیده
I demonstrate how confinement in Coulomb-gauge QCD makes quark-quark states of the color anti-triplet (diquarks) move out of the physical spectrum. Mesons as color singlet quark-antiquark states, on the other hand have finite masses and for highly excited states in the meson spectra effective restoration of chiral symmetry can be observed. In Coulomb-gauge QCD the 00-component of the gluon propagator Dμν(~x, t) has an instantaneous part VC(~x)δ(t) and confinement means that −VC(~x)→∞ for |~x| → ∞. It was shown that Coulomb confinement is a necessary condition for confinement, i.e., that the gauge invariant quark-antiquark potential VW (r) goes to infinity for r → ∞ [1]. An almost linearly rising Coulomb potential has been suggested [2], which was also confirmed by results from the lattice [3]. In momentum space it becomes VC(|~k|) = σC |~k|4 , (1) where σC is the Coulomb string tension. Based on previous works [4] we performed a study of the mechanism of Coulomb confinement in the Dyson-Schwinger–Bethe-Salpeter framework [5] in Rainbow-ladder approximation [6]. We took into account only the Coulomb potential (1) and neglected transverse gluons and noninstantaneous contributions to D00. In that way all integrals over k0 can be performed analytically and one has to deal with three-dimensional integral equations only. (1) has also an unrealistic ultraviolet (UV) behavior. However, it has the advantage that it produces no UV divergences, thus making renormalization not necessary. Due to all these approximations some physics is lost and the model is not expected to provide realistic quantitative results but some qualitative insight into the physics of confinement in QCD. Since the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi

Aspects of the confinement mechanism in Coulomb-gauge QCD.
Phenomenological consequences of the infrared singular, instantaneous part of the gluon propagator in the Coulomb gauge are investigated. The corresponding quark Dyson-Schwinger equation is solved, neglecting retardation and transverse gluons and regulating the resulting infrared singularities. While the quark propagator vanishes as the infrared regulator goes to zero, the frequency integral ov...
متن کاملCharmed-Meson Scattering on Nucleons in a QCD Coulomb Gauge Quark Model
The scattering of charmed mesons on nucleons is investigated within a chiral quark model inspired on the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge. The microscopic model incorporates a longitudinal Coulomb confining interaction derived from a self-consistent quasi-particle approximation to the QCD vacuum, and a traverse hyperfine interaction motivated from lattice simulations of QCD in Coulomb gauge. Fr...

In a functional approach to QCD the infrared behaviour of Landau gauge Green functions is investigated. It can be proven that the ghost Dyson-Schwinger equation implies the Gribov-Zwanziger horizon condition. Its relation to the Kugo-Ojima confinement scenario is elucidated. Positivity violation for gluons is demonstrated, and the analytic structure of the gluon propagator is studied. Quark con...
متن کاملCoulomb gauge model of mesons
A model of mesons which is based on the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge is presented. The model relies on a novel quasiparticle basis to improve the reliability of the Fock space expansion. It is also relativistic, yields chiral pions, and is tightly constrained by QCD (quark masses are the only parameters). Applications to hidden flavor mesons yield results comparable to phenomenological cons...
متن کاملShort-distance part of the interaction of D mesons and nucleons
The short-distance part of the low energy interaction of D-mesons and nucleons is investigated in the context of a quark model. The quark model is based on Coulomb gauge QCD. The model contains a confining Coulomb potential and a transverse hyperfine interaction consistent with a finite gluon propagator in the infrared. The basic mechanism for the short-distance interaction between the D-mesons...
