Collective perspective on advances in Dyson-Schwinger equation QCD

Abstract

We survey contemporary studies of hadrons and strongly interacting quarks using QCD’s Dyson–Schwinger equations, addressing the following aspects: confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking; the hadron spectrum; hadron elastic and transition form factors, from small- to large-Q²; parton distribution functions; the physics of hadrons containing one or more heavy quarks; and properties of the quark gluon plasma.
