There are two mass generating mechanisms in the standard model of particle physics (SM).
One is related to the Higgs boson and fairly well understood. The other is embedded in …

We review results for the phase diagram of QCD, the properties of quarks and gluons and
the resulting properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature and chemical …

The existence and properties of the sigma meson have been controversial for almost six
decades, despite playing a central role in the spontaneous chiral symmetry of QCD or in the …

Visible matter is characterised by a single mass scale; namely, the proton mass. The
proton's existence and structure are supposed to be described by quantum chromodynamics …

We review the spectrum and electromagnetic properties of baryons described as relativistic
three-quark bound states within QCD. The composite nature of baryons results in a rich …

The last five years have brought considerable progress in the study of the bound-state
problem in continuum quantum field theory. We highlight a subset of that progress; viz., that …

We survey contemporary studies of hadrons and strongly interacting quarks using QCD's
Dyson—Schwinger equations, addressing the following aspects: confinement and …

We present a comprehensive study of the quark sector of 2+ 1 flavor QCD, based on a self-
consistent treatment of the coupled system of Schwinger-Dyson equations for the quark …

We investigate the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature and light-quark chemical
potential. We improve upon earlier results for N f= 2+ 1 dynamical quark flavors and …

Within contemporary hadron physics there are two common methods for determining the
momentum-dependence of the interaction between quarks: the top-down approach, which …
