Abstract

The "constituent quark" (or "valon") substructure of ordinary hadrons is the consequence of small instanton radius ρ{variant}c {reversed tilde equals} 1 3 fm in the QCD vacuum. The same parameter determines hadronic masses and other parameters, in particular the unusually large mass scale for "exceptional" hadrons with zero spin.
