In the quest to understand QCD there are a number of outstanding challenges. Here we focus on one of these, namely what one expects to happen to the structure of a hadron when it is immersed in a nuclear medium. We argue that the necessary…
The effect of changes in hadron properties in a nuclear medium on physical observables is discussed. Highlighted results are, (1) hypernuclei, (2) meosn-nuclear bound states, (3) $K$-meson production in heavy ion collisions, and (4)…
This review is devoted to the discussion of hadron properties in the nuclear medium and its relation to the partial restoration of chiral symmetry. Special attention is given to disentangle in-medium effects due to conventional many-body…
In this talk we briefly summarize our theoretical understanding of in-medium selfenergies of hadrons. With the special case of the $\omega$ meson we demonstrate that earlier calculations that predicted a significant lowering of the mass in…
The QCD vacuum shows the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry. In the hot/dense QCD medium, the chiral order parameter such as $ < \bar q q > $ is expected to change as function of temperature $T$ and density $\rho$ of the medium, and its…
I examine the role of final state interactions in cold nuclear matter in modifying hadron production on nuclear targets with leptonic or hadronic beams. I demonstrate the extent to which available experimental data in electron-nucleus…
