Confinement and Chiral-Symmetry Breaking in the Covariant Spectator Theory

We show that in the framework of the covariant spectator theory (CST), the equations for the quark anti-quark bound state and for the quark mass function satisfy the requirement of chiral symmetry, incorporating spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. We then present the results for the pion electroma...
