Abstract
A field-theoretic model for hadron binding is described in which free quarks are totally screened. Quarks interact via a dipole vector-gluon field. A second-quantization procedure for the gluon field, which reduces the field to an embodiment of a direct particle interaction, eliminates unitarity problems. A detailed description of perturbation-theory rules is given. In contrast to the results of the pseudoscalar-meson and massive-vector-meson models (without cutoff), scaling occurs in the electroproduction structure functions. Another possible model having some resemblance to the relativistic harmonic-oscillator quark model of Feynman, Kislinger, and Ravndal is also described. It is unitary and has scaling structure functions.
