Very high energy gamma-ray emission of Fanaroff-Riley I objects is not univocally explained by a single emission model. Leptonic models with one and multi-zone emission regions, occurring in the jet of these objects, are usually used to…
This talk comments the main features of a hadronic description of QCD in the limit of large number of colours. We derive a quantum field theory for mesons based on chiral symmetry and a perturbative expansion in 1/NC. Some large-NC and…
Noticing that the point-form approach referred to in many recent works implies physics described on hyperplanes, an approach inspired from Dirac's one, which involves a hyperboloid surface, is presented. A few features pertinent to this new…
In this proceeding we review some of our recent results for the vector meson electromagnetic form factors and structure functions in the Sakai-Sugimoto model. The latter is a string model that describes many features of the non-perturbative…
I review recent theoretical advances in heavy hadron spectroscopy.
Based on available data for mesonic resonances of light, medium and heavy flavors, we have performed a global analysis to construct the corresponding linear Regge trajectories. These have been supplemented by results from various…
We review the electromagnetic form factor of heavy quarks with emphasis on the QCD radiative corrections at two-loop order in the perturbative expansion. We discuss important properties of the heavy-quark form factor such as its…
We derive the electric and magnetic form factors of the neutron in the framework of a relativistic constituent quark model. Our parameter free prediction agrees well with a recent, accurate measurement. The relativistic features of the…
The processes of exclusive photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons $\rho^0$(770), $\phi$(1020) and $J/\psi$(3096) at collision energies $30 GeV<W<300 GeV$ and transferred momenta squared $0<-t<2 GeV^2$ are considered in the framework…
We show that the recent measurements of the total photoproduction cross section at HERA energies [1] are in agreement with our earlier prediction based on high-energy hadronic structure of the photon in the QCD minijet-type model [2]. We…
The Regge trajectory of an elastic resonance can be calculated from dispersion theory, instead of fitted phenomenologically, using only its pole parameters as input. This also provides a correct treatment of resonance widths in Regge…
We had previously obtained an integral equation for mesons in transverse lattice QCD, in the limit of large number of colours and strong transverse lattice gauge coupling [1]. This equation is a generalisation of the 't Hooft equation [2],…
We have reconstructed Regge trajectories (RT), using all existing data on masses and spin-parities of all currently known hadrons. In this resonance energy region meson and baryon RT are grossly nonlinear, and only 12% of all RT could be…
The structure of the form factors stemmed from the hadronization of QCD currents in the energy region of the resonances can be explored through the analyses of exclusive hadronic decays of the tau lepton. I give a short review on the later…
We show how to obtain information about the states of an effective field theory in terms of the underlying fundamental theory. In particular we analyze the spectroscopic nature of meson resonances from the meson-meson scattering amplitudes…
It is argued that important information on the emergence of space is hidden at the quark/hadron level. The arguments follow from the acceptance of the conception that space is an attribute of matter. They involve in particular the…
I report on the state of hadronic physics and spectroscopy as reflected in contributions to the HEP2005 Europhysics Conference. Topics of interest include lattice field theory calculations of the hadron spectrum, the continuing quest to…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to Regge theory as it pertains to the study of hadrons and their interactions. We clarify the fundamental concepts of analyticity in the complex angular momentum plane and their implications for…
I give a theoretical overview of some basic properties of massive neutrinos in these lectures. Particular attention is paid to the origin of neutrino masses, the pattern of lepton flavor mixing, the feature of leptonic CP violation and the…
We present recent results of hadron spectroscopy and hadron-hadron interaction from the perspective of constituent quark models. We pay special attention to the role played by higher order Fock space components in the hadron spectra and the…
