  Baryons are modeled as bound states of scalar or axialvector diquarks and a
constituent quark which interact through quark exchange. This description
results as an approximation to the relativistic Faddeev equation for three
quarks. The corresponding effective Bethe-Salpeter equation is solved, and
fully four-dimensional wave functions for both octet and decuplet baryons are
obtained. Confinement of quarks and diquarks is incorporated by modifying their
propagators. Results are given for kaon photoproduction which is one of the
applications currently under investigation in this model.
