Hamiltonian formulation of QCD and nucleon mass

[tom.stoer]

Hello,

there are several papers on QCD in Hamiltonian formulation, especially in Coulomb gauge. Unfortunately the Hamiltonian H is rather formel and highly complex.

Question: is there a paper discussing the contribution of individual terms of H to the nucleon mass?

The question about nucleon masses is rather complicated by itself, especially because it is a non-perturbative problem. I don't know if there is any simple way to related any term in the QCD Hamiltonian to the nucleon mass. I would say that the most relevant terms are the quark-gluon interaction and the gluon-gluon-gluon or gluon-gluon-gluon-gluon interactions. This is because the nucleon (or in general hadron) masses are mainly given by binding energy rather then the actual quark masses.

However, if you want a more phenomenological way of deriving (with a pretty good accuracy) the mass of the hadrons you can take a look at the "Constituent quark and spin-spin interaction" model. I think that the original reference should be:

http://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.12.147

However, there is a pretty good explanation of that in:

http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0412098v2.pdf

In section II.

I hope this is useful.

Yes, I know.

What I am looking for us an analysis like

for the nucleon mass.
