QCD: Confinement, Hadron Structure and DIS

Abstract

The main features of QCD, e.g. confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, Regge trajectories are naturally and economically explained in the framework of the Field Correlator Method (FCM). The same method correctly predicts the spectrum of hybrids and glueballs. When applied to DIS and high-energy scattering it leads to the important role of higher Fock components in the Fock tower of moving hadron, containing primarily gluonic excitations.
