This talk reviews the latest measurements of the proton, Pomeron and photon structure functions. These measurements, especially at low $x$ and/or low $Q^2$ lead to new insight into the picture of hadronic interactions.
We present a new method to evaluate with high precision the isospin breaking effects due to the mass difference between the up and down quarks using lattice QCD. Our proposal is applicable in principle to any hadronic observable which can…

The large mass limit of QCD uncovers symmetries that are not present in the QCD lagrangian. These symmetries have been applied to physical (finite mass) systems, such as B and D mesons. We explore the validity of this approximation in the…
Although many suggestions for BSM searches at future colliders exist, most of them concentrate on additional scalars that have masses higher than the current SM scalar mass. I will give a short overview on the current status of models and…
Dilepton decays of pseudoscalar mesons have been drawing particular interest, thanks to their sensitivity to both the QCD dynamics at low energy and also signals beyond the Standard Model. In this context, we shortly review our recent study…
The decays and mixing of $K$ mesons are remarkably sensitive to the weak interactions of quarks and leptons at high energies. They provide important tests of the standard model at both first and second order in the Fermi constant $G_F$ and…
Hadron masses under strong magnetic fields are studied. In the presence of strong magnetic fields exceeding the QCD energy scale $ eB \gg \Lambda^2_{\rm QCD} $, ${\rm SU(3)}_{\rm flavor} \otimes {\rm SU(2)}_{\rm spin}$ symmetry of hadrons…

I review recent results from lattice QCD calculations on the in-medium hadron properties. I discuss the thermal dilepton rates, heavy quarkonium properties as well as the chiral and $U(1)_A$ symmetries at finite temperature.
This is a review of recent developments in hadron structure within the framework of Lattice QCD. The main focus is on recent achievements in the evaluation of nucleon quantities, such as the axial charge, electromagnetic form factors, the…
The Coulomb gauge model, involving an effective QCD Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge, is applied to scalar hadrons. Mass predictions are presented for both conventional q-qbar meson and q-qbar-q-qbar tetra-quark states. Mixing matrix…
We discuss the possibilities of extracting the constraints on New Physics by using the current data on the leptonic and semileptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons. In doing so we use a general low energy Lagrangian that besides the vector…
The prediction of properties of the low energy portion of the hadronic spectrum is a challenging task which, up to day, is still tentatively given due to the non-perturbative nature of QCD at low energies. In this paper we are exploring the…
The flavour and glue structure of the light scalar mesons in QCD are probed by studying the couplings of the $\sigma(600)$ and $f_0(980)$ to the operators $\bar{q}q$, $\theta_\mu^\mu$ and to two photons.
