Description
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and confinement are two emergent phenomena of QCD, orchestrating the observed spectrum of hadrons and their properties. The running of the corresponding mass function reflects itself in several physical observables such as form factors and parton distribution functions inside hadrons. This study can be naturally carried out through QCD’s fundamental field equations, namely, Dyson-Schwinger equations.
I present the development of a consistent analysis based upon a symmetry-preserving Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations to compute meson electromagnetic elastic and transition form factors, parton distribution amplitudes and parton distribution functions. The empirically observed hadron properties are faithfully reproduced and many predictions are made for future experiments.
