A Simple Confinement Mechanism for Light-Front Quantum Chromodynamics
Abstract
Description
Light-front field theory offers a scenario in which a constituent picture of hadrons may arise, but only if cutoffs that violate explicit covariance and gauge invariance are used. The perturbative renormalization group can be used to approximate the cutoff QCD hamiltonian, and even at lowest orders the resultant hamiltonian displays interesting phenomenological features. A general scheme for computing and using these hamiltonians is discussed and it is explicitly shown that a confining interaction appears when the hamiltonian is computed to second order.
