Abstract

We consider two semiclassical hadron models, the MIT bag model and a generalization, the confined free quark model. The low momentum transfer matrix elements of some of the S-wave hadrons are derived and compared with experiment in both models, and we conclude that the constraints imposed on the latter model by the MIT model are largely justified by experiment. We then generalize the MIT model to include lowest order gluon exchange spin-spin forces between quarks and remove some degeneracies of the zeroth order MIT model. Finally we predict the masses and magnetic moments of some of the hypothetical charmed hadrons.
