Abstract

Since the discovery of quarks, it has been a challenge to describe the nuclear force in terms of quark degrees of freedom. This is not an easy task because, at the scale of nuclear phenomenology, QCD is non-perturbative, and one has to resource to models that catch the most important properties of QCD. In this article, the constituent quark model for baryon-baryon interactions will be reviewed. The emphasis is on the foundations of the approach and the main features of the model. The origins of the short-range repulsion in the nuclear force and other baryonic interactions are discussed.
