Hadron physics is that part of QCD dealing with hadron structure and vacuum structure, almost all of which is nonperturbative in nature. Some of the open problems in this field are outlined. We argue that hadron physics is a distinct…
A brief historical review is made of the hadron-hadron (hh) total cross section and hadron-nucleus absorption cross section measurements, made mainly at high energy proton synchrotrons. Then I shall discuss low p_tprocesses, including…
I offer brief observations on matters discussed at the XIV International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy and explore prospects for hadron physics.

This article summarizes main developments of the hadron colliders and physics results obtained since their inception around forty years ago. The increase in the collision energy of over two orders of magnitude and even larger increases in…
The experimental observations that led to the quark structure of matter and the development of hadron physics are reviewed with emphasis on the discoveries of mesons and baryons, starting in the 1940s with the pion and kaon which mediate…
The physics at Frascati in the years 60's - 70's is reviewed together with the $J/\Psi$ discovery.
I discuss (i) hadron-hadron and photon-hadron total cross-sections, (ii) elastic scattering, (iii) the r\^{o}le of minijets in total cross-sections and the need to include them in Monte-Carlos for small-$x$ structure functions, (iv) how the…
The rates of multiparton collisions in high energy hadronic interactions provide information on the typical transverse distances between partons in the hadron structure. The different configurations of the hadron in transverse space are, on…
The special role played by singly polarized high-energy hadron-hadron collisions in Spin Physics is discussed: In such processes, the measured and the calculated quantities can be and have been directly compared with each other --- without…
Nuclear reaction cross sections are usually very small in typical astrophysical environments. It has been one of the major challenges of experimental nuclear astrophysics to assess the magnitude of these cross sections in the laboratory.…
Fundamental particle physics is at a cross road. On the one hand the Standard Model successfully accounts for all experimental observations to date. On the other hand the ElectroWeak symmetry breaking mechanism is poorly understood and…
We investigate several ingredients for a theory of multiple hard scattering in hadron-hadron collisions. Issues discussed include the space-time structure of multiple interactions, their power behavior, spin and color correlations,…
Recent theoretical developments to calculate cross sections of hadronic objects in the high energy limit are summarised and experimental attempts to establish the need for new QCD effects connected with a resummation of small hadron…
I discuss and connect a number of topics in small-x physics at HERA and at LHC, pointing out recent progress and open questions in theory and phenomenology.
We review the major trends over the past decades in the theoretical and experimental approaches to the underlying physics of Many Polaron systems, concentrating on the cross-over between large an small polaronic charge carriers.
Studies of meson production at threshold in the hadron--hadron interaction began in the fifties when sufficient energies of accelerated protons were available. A strong interdependence between developments in accelerator physics, detector…
Hadron-nucleus collisions at LHC energies are studied by including explicitly semi-hard parton rescatterings in the collision dynamics. Under rather general conditions, we obtain explicit formulae for the semi-hard cross-section and the…
In the last two decades a number of nuclear structure and astrophysics experiments were performed at heavy-ion storage rings employing unique experimental conditions offered by such machines. Furthermore, building on the experience gained…
