Description

Dynamical symmetry breaking can happen through a Higgs mechanism but also spontaneously within a strongly-enough coupled theory.
We treat a field-theoretical quark model of QCD based on a linear+Coulomb Cornell potential (to account for the longitudinal interaction), together with a transverse interaction (to account for Coulomb gauge gluons) in BCS approximation.
After extracting the well-known BCS ground state on which abundant hadron phenomenology implementing dynamical chiral symmetry breaking has been built, we find two excited replicae of that vacuum, whose nature we study.
