Mesons and nucleons from holographic QCD

Abstract

We present in this talk a recent investigation on a unified approach within the framework of a hard-wall model of AdS/QCD. We first study a theoretical inconsistency in existing models. In order to remove this inconsistency, we propose a unified approach in which the mesons and the nucleons are treated on the same footing, the same infrared (IR) cutoff being employed in both fermionic and bosonic sectors. We also suggest a possible way of improving the model by introducing a five-dimensional anomalous dimension.
