Intersections 2000: What's New in Hadron Physics

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Hadron physics is that part of QCD dealing with hadron structure and vacuum structure, almost all of which is nonperturbative in nature. Some of the open problems in this field are outlined. We argue that hadron physics is a distinct subfield, no longer within particle physics, and not at all the same as classical nuclear physics. We believe that it needs to be better organized, and that a first step in doing so might be to establish hadron physics as a new division within the American Physical Society.
