Description
Motivated by holographic stringy hadrons, I propose a model of stringy hadrons in four flat space-time dimensions. Mesons are rotating open strings with massive ``quarks" in their endpoints. Baryons are open strings with a quark on one end and a baryonic vertex and a di-quark on the other end. Glueballs are rotating folded closed strings.
A detailed fit of the model to experimental data will be presented including extracting the best fit parameters for the string tension, intercept and endpoint masses. The issue of the identification `` nature's gluballs" will be addressed.
I will discuss and report on certain progress about the yet unsolved problem of the quantization of rotating bosonic open ( with massive endpoints) and folded closed strings in four dimensions.
