Light front Hamiltonians and wave functions of mesons, baryons and exotics

Edward Shuryak

Many hadronic observables -- like PDFs,DAs etc -- are defined as matrix elements of light front operators. There is a serious gap between their phenomenology and Euclidean nonperturbative theory (instantons,lattice... ) which we try to bridge. The first half of the talk is about instanton-induced inter-quark forces, from charmonia to light quark states. Model light front Hamiltonians and wave functions are discussed in the second half.
