Meson-Baryon Interactions can be successfully described using both Chiral Symmetry and Unitarity. The $s-$wave meson-baryon scattering amplitude is analyzed in a Bethe-Salpeter coupled channel formalism incorporating Chiral Symmetry in the…
The analytic relation between the \bar {MS} and the pole quark masses is computed to O(\alpha_s^3) in QCD. Using this exact result, the accuracy of the large \beta_0 approximation is critically examined and the implications of the obtained…

In the electric dipole approximation the model of a charged harmonic oscillator interacting with the radiation field becomes quadratic and soluble, but it needs a UV cutoff for the photon frequency. The model's renormalizability is only…
The high-energy parton-parton scattering amplitude can be described, in the c.m.s., by the expectation value of two infinite Wilson lines, running along the classical trajectories of the two colliding particles. The above description…
