Abstract

Theoretical developments and applications of an effective QCD Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge are summarized. BCS, TDA and RPA many-body diagonalizations in the quark and gluon sectors are reported for meson and glueball spectra, respectively. The model glueball Regge trajectories are in good agreement with the established pomeron and a recently observed odd signature daughter. Using the pomeron-glueball connection and vector meson dominance, glueball photoproduction cross sections and decays are calculated and a glueball experimental signature is predicted. The pseudoscalar-vector meson mass splittings are also investigated using a hyperfine interaction based upon transverse gluon exchange. An improved meson spectrum is obtained and the dominant role of chiral symmetry in the π-ρ mass difference is confirmed.
