Our main program of research is the study of the quark/gluon structure of
hadrons and nuclei. The research is centered on the treatment of nonperturbative
as well as perturbative as well as perturbative QCD, the theory of strong
quark-gluon interactions, and the interplay between the strong and electroweak
interactions. Recently, we have been using the method of QCD Sum Rules to
include the nonperturbative effects. In this method the nonperturbative gluonic
interactions are represented by quark and gluon condensates, which were formed
during an early-universe phase transition as the present physical vacuum
evolved. Problems in this area completed during the past few years include the
weak parity-violating nuclear interaction, isospin violations in systems of
mesons and baryons and the determination of the coupling of fields to hadrons.
Present work includes the properties of hadrons in nuclear matter, a topic of
interest for nuclear physics as well as for nuclear astrophysics and the study
of early-universe phase transitions. Related research on the use of light-cone
Bethe-Salpeter integral equations allow us to study the transition from
perturbative to nonperturbative QCD with increasing momentum transfer. Much of
the research is carried out via joint international collaborations with
Taiwanese and Chinese theorists.
