Description

We examine the dynamics of quarks and gauge fields in QCD and QED
interactions in the lowest energy states with approximate cylindrical
symmetry, in a flux tube model. Using the action integral, we
separate out the (3+1)D in terms of the transverse and the
longitudinal degrees of freedom and solve the resultant equations of
motion. We find that there may be localized and stable states of QCD
and QED collective $q \bar q$ excitations, showing up as particles whose masses
depend on the QCD and QED coupling constants and the flux-tube radius [1].
Along with known standard stable collective QCD excitations of the
quark-QCD-QED system, there may be stable QED collective $q\bar q$ excitations, which can be
good candidates for the X17 particle [2], the E38 particle [3], and anomalous soft photons [4,5] observed recently in
the region of many tens of MeV, as dicussed in [6].
