Description

In vectorlike gauge theories, a two-component conception for the gluon condensate is suggested. It is shown that the component connected with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking can generate a bound-state fermion-antifermion scalar mass of magnitude mσ ≅ 2 mF. The associated dynamical dimension of the scalar field is dσ = 2. The application of this approach to QCD is then discussed
