We develop a covariant approach to describe the low-lying scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axialvector mesons as quark-antiquark bound states. This approach is based on an effective interaction modeling of the non--perturbative structure of the gluon propagator that enters the quark Schwinger-Dyson and meson Bethe-Salpeter equations. We consistently treat these integral equations by precisely implementing the quark propagator functions that solve the Schwinger-Dyson equations into the Bethe-Salpeter equations in the relevant kinematical region. We extract the meson masses and compute the pion and kaon decay constants. We obtain a quantitatively correct description for pions, kaons and vector mesons while the calculated spectra of scalar and axialvector mesons suggest that their structure is more complex than being quark-antiquark bound states.

  1. Cooling of Hybrid Stars with a 2SC+$<dd>$ Phase

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hybrid stars with a 2SC+⟨dd⟩ quark core cool hotter than with 2SC and near CFL; with a 3P2 gap near 5×10^8 K their cooling curves pass through the observed temperatures of 3C58, Vela Jr., and Vela-like pulsars.

  2. Three-gluon decays of radially excited quarkonia $\psi(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(2S)$ with both relativistic and QCD radiative corrections

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Phenomenologically improved Bethe-Salpeter calculations of ψ(2S)/Υ(2S) → ggg, including relativistic and QCD corrections, match experiment and extract lower β_V values reflecting nodal sensitivity.

  3. Chiral symmetry restoration effects onto the meson spectrum from a Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter approach

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Varying interaction strength in DSE/BSE models produces meson degeneracies whose domains shrink with model realism, linked to quark propagator pole locations and possible chiral spin symmetry.
