Expanding Adjoint QCD₂ in its Continuous Asymptotic Eigenfunctions

We apply eLCQ (exhaustively-symmetrized light-cone quantization) to two-dimensional QCD with adjoint fermions to construct a complete set of asymptotic eigenfunctions in all parton sectors. The full theory is then analytically expanded in this basis to explicate the salient features of its spectrum. We report on progress to distinguish the single-particle from lightly-bound multi-particle content of the theory - the latter having foiled all schemes to positively solve the theory to date. The hope is that this method to extract the effective degrees of freedom of a theory will be applied to other systems in the future.
