Confining forces

TL;DR

This paper explores the forces responsible for quark confinement within hadrons using the bag model, focusing on symmetry breaking and non-conserved currents that influence internal particle dynamics.

Contribution

It provides a theoretical analysis linking symmetry breaking and non-conserved currents to the confinement mechanism in hadrons within the bag model framework.

Findings

Confinement arises from forces related to broken dilatation and conformal symmetries.

Non-conserved currents generate forces that alter internal particle motions.

The ground state of hadrons forms a color singlet, neutralizing colored states.

Abstract

We discuss the forces on the internal constituents of the hadrons based on the bag model. The ground state of the hadrons forms a color singlet so that the effects of the colored internal states are neutralized. From the breaking of the dilatation and conformal symmetries under the strong interactions the corresponding currents are not conserved. These currents give rise to the forces changing the motion of the internal particles which causes confinement.
