Could someone please clarify my problem with the subject of quark confinement within hadrons. I understand that from the potential that more and more energy is required to further separate two quarks (or quark anti-quark) and think i understand why that at a point a quark anti-quark pair is formed (energy converted to mass, right?) and subsequently there is the formation of a baryon and meson and so the quark is still confined and we cannot 'see' a free quark. I know this explanation is a little simplistic but I am just not able to grab this explanation i got in the lecture today. Any hints/tips in understanding this or alternate explanations? Thanx
