Confinement of fermions in tachyon matter (Q779595)

Summary: In this paper, we develop a phenomenological model inspired by QCD that mimics the QCD theory. We use the gauge theory in color dielectric medium \((G\left( \phi\right))\) coupled with fermion fields to produce scalar and vector confinements in the \textit{chromoelectric flux tube} scenario. The abelian theory will be used to approximate the non-abelian QCD theory in a consistent manner. We will calculate vector and scalar glueballs and compare the result to the existing simulation and experimental results and projections. The QCD-like vacuum associated with the model will be calculated and its behavior studied relative to changing quark masses. We will also comment on the relationship between tachyon condensation, dual Higgs mechanism, QCD monopole condensation, and their association with confinement. The behavior of the QCD string tension obtained from the vector potential of the model will be studied to establish vector dominance in confinement theories.
