Nucleon sigma terms are quantities that play an important role in various areas: among others, they connect the pion-nucleon and the kaon-nucleon amplitudes to the hadron spectrum and they are also relevant for the direct detection of Dark…
In this thesis we explore a diverse array of issues that strike at the inherently nonperturbative structure of hadrons at momenta below the QCD confinement scale. In so doing, we mainly seek a better control over the partonic substructure…
