Beyond the Constituent Quark Model

Modern experiment requires a reliable theoretical framework for low energy QCD. Some of the requirements for constructing a new model of QCD are presented here. Progress toward these requirements are highlighted.Comment: 10 pages, 5 ps figures, based on a plenary talk at Hadron 2001, Protvino, Russi

Progress and Issues in Hadronic Theory

A brief review of progress and issues in hadronic theory and phenomenology is presented. New results for the $X(3872)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and $Z_c(4020)$ are discussed and unresolved issues are highlighted. A series of open problems in pQCD, NRQCD, and general phenomenology is given. It is argued that these indicate that the current understanding of hadronic dynamics is poor. In particular old ideas about quark annihilation and factorisation appear to be incorrect, pQCD looks limited in scope, and the convergence of some NRQCD computations appears jeapardised by the relative lightness of the charm quark mass.Comment: 7 pages.

Constructing Confinement

The interaction between static quarks is derived by applying many-body techniques to QCD in Coulomb gauge. The result is shown to be exact in the IR and UV limits, and agrees remarkably well with lattice computations.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, proceedings for 2002 Lake Louise Winter Institut
