Abstract
In this paper we wish to study hadronic wave functions using an instanton model for the QCD vacuum. The wave functions are defined in terms of gauge-invariant Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes which we have determined numerically using a Monte Carlo simulation of the instanton ensemble. We find that the pion and the proton, as well as the \ensuremath{\rho} meson and the \ensuremath{\Delta}, have very similar wave functions but observe a sizable splitting between mesons or baryons with different spin. We compare our results with data obtained in lattice gauge simulations.
