Scalar mesons above and below 1 GeV
read the original abstract
We show that two nonets and a glueball provide a consistent description of data on scalar mesons below 1.7 GeV. Above 1 GeV the states form a conventional (q bar q) nonet mixed with the glueball of lattice QCD. Below 1 GeV the states also form a nonet, as implied by the attractive forces of QCD, but of more complicated nature. Near the center they are 4 quark states of the Jaffe type in S-wave, with some (q bar q) in P-wave, but further out they rearrange in colour to two colourless (q bar q) pairs and finally as meson-meson states. A simple effective chiral model for such a system with two scalar nonets can be made involving two coupled linear sigma models. One of these could be looked upon as the Higgs sector of nonpertubative QCD.

The atomic nucleus as a bound system of $3A$ quarks
Nuclei are 3A-quark systems where Fermi gas explains equal u/d quarks in light nuclei, a modified bag model fits heavier ones, and AdS5 duality predicts the lightest glueball's decay and sets the maximum stable nuclea...

Comparing relativistic and non-relativistic quark pair creation models
Relativistic and non-relativistic QPC models produce strong decay width predictions of similar overall quality for light mesons, with the relativistic version exhibiting stronger suppression at high energies.
