QCD and Confinement ➜

From about 10−6 s on, all quark and anti-quarks became confined inside of hadronic matter. Only protons and neutrons remained after about 1 s.

1

What is the origin of confinement?

2

How are confinement and chiral symmetry breaking connected?

3

Would the answers to these questions explain the origin of ∼ 99 % of observed matter?

Non-Perturbative QCD

How does QCD give rise to hadrons? Interaction between quarks unknown throughout > 98 % of a hadron’s volume. Explaining the excitation spectrum of hadrons is central to our understanding

  • f QCD in the low-energy regime (Hadron Models, Lattice QCD, etc.)

➜ Complementary to Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) where information

  • n collective degrees of freedom is lost.

!"#$%&'()%*&'+ *,*-%)+ 1

Baryons What are the fundamental degrees of freedom inside a proton or a neutron? How do they change with varying quark masses?

2

Mesons What is the role of glue in a quark-antiquark system and how is this related to the confinement of QCD? What are the properties of predicted states beyond simple quark-antiquark systems (hybrids, glueballs, multi-quark states, ...)? ➜ Need to map out new states (Session 3C):

Components of the Experimental N∗ Program

The excited baryon program has two main components: Establish the systematics of the spectrum Current medium-energy experiments use photon beams to map

  • ut the baryon spectrum (JLab, ELSA, MAMI, SPring-8, etc.).

➜ Provides information on the nature of the effective degrees

  • f freedom in strong QCD and also addresses the issue of

previously unobserved or so-called missing resonances. Probe resonance transitions at different distance scales Electron beams are ideal to measure resonance form factors and their corresponding Q 2 dependence. ➜ Provides information on the confining (effective) forces of the 3-quark system.

Are the states missing in the predicted spectrum because our models do not capture the correct degrees of freedom?

2

Or have the resonances simply escaped detection?

Preliminary results for E from FROST About 700 data points covering a wide energy and angular range: −0.9 < cos θπ+ < 0.9 1.25 GeV < W < 2.25 GeV Average uncertainty for E: ±0.08 (stat.) and < 10 % (sys.) W < 1.7 GeV: SAID PWA solution describes main features of the preliminary data remarkably well. W > 1.7 GeV: Partial-wave analyses currently ambiguous; new data will provide additional constraints and stringent tests.

Introduction The Search for Undiscovered States Experimental Status of N∗ (Polarization) Program Summary and Outlook

Summary and Outlook

The quest to understand confinement and the strong force is about to make great leaps forward: Progress in theory and computing will allow us to solve QCD and understand the baryon spectrum and the role of glue. New results from the current polarization programs worldwide will (soon) give us new insight on the observed and missing baryons. ➜ New candidates for baryon resonances have been proposed. The definitive experiments to confirm or refute current expectations

  • n the role of glue are being built, e.g. GlueX@Jefferson Lab.

Conclusions Advances in both areas will allow us to finally understand QCD and confinement.
