Baryons in and beyond the quark-diquark model

We examine the nucleon's electromagnetic form factors in a Poincare-covariant Faddeev framework. The three-quark core contributions to the form factors are obtained by employing a quark-diquark approximation. We implement the self-consistent solution for the quark-photon vertex from its inhomogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation. We find that the resulting transverse parts which add to the Ball-Chiu vertex have no significant impact on nucleon magnetic moments. The current-quark mass evolution of the form factors agrees with results from lattice QCD.

Vector meson-vector meson interaction and dynamically generated resonances

Using the local hidden gauge formalism for the vector meson-vector meson interaction within a unitary approach we find that 11 states get dynamically generated. Five of them are associated to the f{sub 0}(1370), f{sub 0}(1710), f{sub 2}(1270), f{sub 2}'(1525), and K{sub 2}*(1430) resonances, by comparing the mass, width, and decay pattern of these states with those of their experimental counterparts. At the same time we predict six other states with the quantum numbers of h{sub 1}, a{sub 0}, b{sub 1}, a{sub 2}, K{sub 0}*, and K{sub 1} which could be tested by future experiments.
