Hadronic transport models may be utilized to extract bulk nuclear properties. Deduction of in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections and of nuclear viscosity is discussed, as well as the extraction of momentum dependence of nucleonic mean…
In the last decades, the number of exotic candidates which are beyond the conventional quark model has grown dramatically. At the same time, numerous theoretical interpretations, such as tetraquark, hybrid, hadroquarkonium and hadronic…

Radioactive molecules provide a powerful new platform in the search for new physics at energy scales complementary to high-energy particle colliders. By combining enhancements from nuclear properties with the sensitivity and control offered…
The quark-meson coupling model, based on a mean-field description of non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of $\sigma$, $\omega$ and $\rho$ mesons, is extended to investigate the change of hadron properties in…
We review the theory of hadronic atoms in QCD+QED. The non-relativistic effective Lagrangian approach, used to describe this type of bound states, is illustrated with the case of pi+pi- atoms. In addition, we discuss the evaluation of…

A major goal of nuclear theory is to explain the spectra and stability of nuclei in terms of effective many-body interactions amongst the nucleus' constituents-the nucleons, i.e., protons and neutrons. Such an approach, referred to below as…
The possibility for a common effective field theory for hadronic molecules with different heavy-quark flavours is examined critically. It is argued that such a theory does not allow one to draw definite conclusions for doubly heavy…
The description of the production of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in a hadron resonance gas, or statistical-thermal model approach, has proven to be rather successful, despite the fact that the binding energies of these compound objects are…
We show that the boundary between quark-dominated and hadron-dominated regions of nuclear structure may be blurred by multi-nucleon quark clusters arising from color percolation. Recent experiments supporting partial percolation in cold…
Relativistic potential-type equations are proposed which approximately reproduce important features and constraints of field-theoretic models and can be useful tool in hadron spectroscopy. Within this approach, the Regge-trajectory…

The complex patterns of the hadronic spectrum have puzzled physicists since the early discovery of the "particle zoo" in the 1960s. Today, the properties of these myriad particles are understood to be the result of quantum chromodynamics…
