16. Convention (Particle Data Group): 1) Quark has spin 1/2 and baryon number 1/3; 2) Quark has positive parity and antiquark has negative parity; 3) The flavor of a quark has the same sign as its charge. Quarks are real building blocks of hadrons: meson (q  q), baryon (qqq) Quarks are not free due to QCD colour force (colour confinement). Chiral symmetry spontaneous breaking gives masses to quarks. Hadrons, with rich internal structures, are the smallest objects in Nature that cannot be separated to be further finer free particles.

Thus, NRQCD should be valid.  pQCD is dominant in  (3770)  light hadrons via 3g exchange, hence the OZI rule will be respected.   (3770) non-D  D decay will be suppressed. Non-pQCD:  Are the constituent c  c good degrees of freedom for  (3770)  light hadrons? Or is pQCD dominant at all?  If not, how the OZI rule is violated?  Could the OZI-rule violation led to sizeable  (3770) non-D  D decay?  How to quantify it?

66. Are quarks real objects? or just mathematical mnemonics? 기억하는 “Are quarks actually real objects?" Gell-Mann asked. "My experimental friends are making a search for them in all sorts of places -- in high-energy cosmic ray reactions and elsewhere. A quark, being fractionally charged, cannot decay into anything but a fractionally charged object because of the conservation law of electric charge. Finally, you get to the lowest state that is fractionally charged, and it can't decay. So if real quarks exist, there is an absolutely stable quark. Therefore, if any were ever made, some are lying around the earth." But since no one has yet found a quark, Gell-Mann concluded that we must face the likelihood that quarks are not real.
