The present performance of the constituent-quark model as an effective tool to describe low-energy hadrons on the basis of quantum chromodynamics is exemplified along the relativistic constituent-quark model with quark dynamics relying on a realistic confinement and a Goldstone-boson-exchange hyperfine interaction. In particular, the spectroscopy of all known baryons is covered within a universal model in good agreement with phenomenology. The structure of the nucleons as probed under electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational interactions is produced in a correct manner. Likewise, the electroweak form factors of the baryons with u, d, and s flavor contents, calculated so far, result reasonably. Shortcomings still remain with regard to hadronic resonance decays.

Confinement and spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry are assumed to generate the governing degrees of freedom of low-energy quantum chromodynamics. On this basis a relativistic constituent-quark model is constructed and formulated along an invariant mass operator within Poincaré-invariant quantum mechanics. The model is effectively applied to the spectroscopy of all known baryons of flavors u, d, s, c and b. The mass-operator eigenstates are furthermore tested with regard to the baryon electromagnetic and axial form factors. Through using the point form of relativistic quantum mechanics, these observables are obtained in a manifestly covariant manner. For all light and strange baryon ground states the electroweak structures are reproduced either in good agreement with phenomenology or, if no experimental data exist, in consistency with results available from lattice quantum chromodynamics. It is concluded that the relativistic constituent-quark model, relying on {QQQ} Fock states only, provides a universal framework for the description of low-energy baryons. The most important ingredients are spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking and strict relativistic invariance.

A comparative study has heen done by calculating the effective baryon-baryon interactions of the 64 lowest channels consisting of octet and decuplet baryons with three constituent quark models: the extended quark gluon exchange model, the Goldstone boson exchange model and the quark gluon meson exchange hybrid model. We find that these three models give similar results for 44 channels. Further tests of these models are discussed.

Sea quark distributions in the NLO approximation, based on the phenomenological valon model or constituent quark model are analyzed. We use the parametrized inverse Mellin transform technique to perform a direct fit with available experimental data and obtain the unknown parameters of the distributions. We try to extend the calculation to the NLO approximation for the singlet and nonsinglet cases in DIS phenomena. We do also the same calculation for electron–positron annihilation. The resulting sea distributions are effectively independent of the process used. The approach of complete RG improvement (CORGI) is employed and the results are compared with the standard approach of perturbative QCD in the [Formula: see text] scheme with a physical scale. The comparisons with data are in good agreement. As is expected, the results in the CORGI approach indicate a better agreement to the data than the NLO calculation in the standard approach.
