Do Quarks Propagate?
Processes with coloured particles in the initial state are generally infrared divergent. We investigate the effect of this on processes with colourless particles in the initial state, when the amplitude is near an intermediate quark pole. The result is a characteristic logarithmic depedence on the 'binding energy'(even though spectator interactions are taken into account), and the result is gauge-invariant.
Summed to all orders the logarithms could perhaps suppress the quark pole.
