Description

We develop a bound-state approach in quantum field theory which can be used to give an internal description of dressed quarks. The fermionic and bosonic fields are treated as interdependent. The quark is bound by self-consistent infinite binding potentials. By including general relativity and vacuum energy, we can stabilize this system. The average mass for the light quarks is 3.2 MeV, in remarkable agreement with experiment. The radius is 8.8 Planck lengths. These estimates only depend on the gravitational constant G and the Hubble constant H0
