abstract

Using a confining, symmetry-preserving regularisation of a vector$\times$vector contact interaction, we compute the spectra of ground-state pseudoscalar and vector $(f\bar g)$ mesons, scalar and axial-vector $(fg)$ diquarks, and $J^P=1/2^+, 3/2^+$ $(fgh)$ baryons, where $f,g,h \in \{u,d,s,c,b\}$. The diquark correlations are essentially dynamical and play a key role in formulating and solving the three-valence-quark baryon problems. The baryon spectrum obtained from this largely-algebraic approach reproduces the 22 known experimental masses with an accuracy of $2.9(2.4)$%. It also possesses the richness of states typical of constituent-quark models, predicting many heavy-quark baryons not yet observed. This study indicates that diquark correlations are an important component of all baryons; and owing to the dynamical character of the diquarks, it is typically the lightest allowed diquark correlation which defines the most important component of a baryon's Faddeev amplitude.

Elastic Form Factors of Axial-Vector Mesons: A Contact Interaction Exploration

hep-ph · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A contact interaction model in the Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter framework produces elastic form factors for axial-vector mesons, with the electric form factor crossing zero at lower momentum than for vector mesons and charge radii decreasing with increasing dressed quark mass.

Effects of Final State Interactions on Landau Singularities

hep-ph · 2024-07-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Triangle singularities mimicking resonances are analyzed in the presence of final-state rescattering using Landau equations and a scattering formalism enforcing two- and three-body unitarity.

A Poincar\'e-covariant study of strange quark stars

nucl-th · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

A Poincaré-covariant vector-vector contact interaction yields an equation of state for strange quark matter whose mass-radius and tidal properties match pulsar and gravitational-wave constraints for two tuned parameter sets.
