Hadron structure in AdS/QCD and in phenomenological approaches to QCD

• Applicant: Dr. Valery Lyubovitskij
• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: from 2012 to 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 221106696

The project aims for a comprehensive study of hadrons and exotic states using methods of four and extra–dimensional field theories: QCD related phenomenological approaches and AdS/QCD. The main objectives are summarized as follows: Exploration of baryon structure in the AdS/QCD scheme with special emphasis on the baryon excitation spectrum, form factors, distribution functions and spin observables; Strong, radiative and weak decay properties of heavy hadrons including rare processes beyond the Standard Model.
