I review recent developments in theoretical spin physics. Topics include pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions, the implications of heavy quark spin symmetry for heavy hadron molecules, the nucleon electric dipole form factors and…
We study the interesting problem of interaction and identification of the hadronic molecules which seem to be deuteron-like structure. In particular, we propose a binding mechanism in which One Boson Exchange Potential plus Yukawa…
Studies of the spectrum of hadrons and their structure in experiments with electromagnetic probes offer unique insight into many facets of the strong interaction in the regime of large quark-gluon running coupling, {\it i.e.} the regime of…
We discuss experimental features of identified particle production from nucleus-nucleus collisions. These features reflect hadronization from a deconfined partonic matter whose particle formation scheme is distinctly different from…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, in principle describes the interaction of quark and gluon fields. However, due to the self-coupling of the gluons, quarks and gluons are confined into hadrons and cannot exist…
This is the summary talk of a meeting held at the California Institute of Technology Sept 10-13, 2001. I do not attempt to summarize all the beautiful experimental results we have seen this week, nor to repeat the lively theoretical…
What is the Higgs boson telling us? What else is there? How do we find it? This talk discusses these current topics in particle physics in the wake of the Higgs discovery, with particular emphasis on the discrete symmetries CP and R-parity,…
This is an introduction to the study of strongly interacting matter. We survey its different possible states and discuss the transition from hadronic matter to a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. Following this, we summarize the…
Two basic motivations for an upgraded JLab facility are the needs: to determine the essential nature of light-quark confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB); and to understand nucleon structure and spectroscopy in terms of…
I have been asked to give an critical overview on the experimental results shown in the conference with a emphasis of what has been learned and the challenges that are ahead in trying to understand the physics of the strongly interacting…
We review a broad range of phenomena in diffraction in the context of hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus collisions and deep inelastic lepton-proton/nucleus scattering focusing on the interplay between the perturbative QCD and non-perturbative…
Global celebration greeted the 2012 discovery at CERN's Large Hadron Collider of a particle that matches the textbook description of the Higgs boson. That achievement validated a remarkable chain of theoretical reasoning that combined the…
With the discovery of the Higgs boson the Standard Model has become a complete and comprehensive theory, which has been verified with unparalleled precision and in principle might be valid at all scales. However, several reasons remain why…
Electromagnetic properties of quark-like particles are examined in a classical field model involving extended dual electromagnetic fields. These can have fractional charges and a confining potential that derives essentially completely from…
The confining transition from asymptotically free partons to hadrons remains one of the most mysterious aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics. With the wealth of high quality jet substructure data we can hope to gain new experimental insights…
In a style of popular article, we discuss models of hadronic structure and their relation with models of the QCD vacuum and lattice simulations. Borrowing two main characters from G.Gamow, Mr.Thompson and Professor, we make a travel in the…
Background: At high density deconfinement of hadronic matter may occur leading to quark matter. The immense densities reached in the inner core of massive neutron stars may be sufficient to facilitate the transition. Purpose: To investigate…
A previously constructed $T$-matrix approach for studying the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is improved by incorporating spin-dependent interactions between partons. These interactions arise from the relativistic corrections to the Cornell…
Wonderful opportunities await particle physics over the next decade, with the coming of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to explore the 1-TeV scale (extending efforts at LEP and the Tevatron to unravel the nature of electroweak symmetry…
In my ("not a summary") talk at the Hard Probes 2006 conference, I gave "a personal and surely biased view on only a few of the many open questions on quarkonium and electromagnetic probes". Some of the points reported in that talk are…
