We calculate the valence quark generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the lightest pseudoscalar meson, pion, in an isospin asymmetric nuclear matter at zero temperature by employing a light-cone quark model. The medium modifications in…

Historically, lattice studies of QCD have concentrated on understanding the properties and structure of an isolated hadron. Recently, there have efforts at understanding the interactions between hadrons. In this talk I will review two…

Giving three examples, the form factors of the nucleon, the polarisability of the charged pion and the interference of the $S_{11}(1535)$ with the $D_{13}(1520)$ excitation of the nucleon in the $\eta p$-decay channel, it is argued that the…
