A dynamical model of color confinement

Abstract A dynamical model of confinement based on a transport theoretical description of the Friedberg-Lee model is extended to explicit color degrees of freedom. The string tension is reproduced by an adiabatic string formation from the nucleon ground state. Color isovector oscillation modes of a qq -system are investigated for a wide range of relative qq -momenta and the dynamical impact of color confinement on the quark motion is shown.
