How Well Does AdS/QCD Describe QCD?

arXiv:0908.0312 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X10048718

Abstract

AdS/QCD is an extra-dimensional approach to modeling hadronic physics, motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence in string theory. AdS/QCD models are often more accurate than would have been expected at energies below a few GeV. We address the question of why these models are so successful, and respond to some of the criticisms that have been waged against these models.
