Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese notes give an introduction to the description of hadrons, i.e., mesons and baryons, within a quark model based on a chirally invariant quantum field theory. Emphasis is put on a didactic approach intended for graduate students with some background on functional integral techniques. Starting from QCD a motivation of a specific form of the effective quark interaction is given. Functional integral bosonization leads to a theory describing successfully meson properties. It possesses solitonic solutions which are identified as baryons. Via functional integral techniques a Faddeev equation for baryons describing them as bound states of a diquark and a quark is derived. Finally, a unification of these two complementary pictures of baryons is proposed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46422040543431,"sku":"1-99-539-000327","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9575\/6487\/files\/9783662140208.jpg?v=1776390547","url":"https:\/\/snowflakeskies.com\/products\/chiral-quark-dynamics-softcover-reprint-of-the-original-1st-1995","provider":"Snowflake Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
