Properties of QCD matter change significantly around the chiral crossover temperature, and the effects on $U(1)_A$ and topological susceptibilities, as well as the meson spectrum have been studied with much care. Baryons and the effect of…
The long-distance structure of the interacting nucleon receives important contributions from its couplings to light hadronic degrees of freedom -- a light meson cloud -- while an analogous nonperturbative mechanism is expected to generate…
In the first part of this talk, I will summarize recent developments in the study of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton distributions h_1(x,Q^2) and h_L(x,Q^2) of the nucleon, in particular, (i) Next-to- leading order Q^2 evolution of…
Recent advances in lattice field theory, in computer technology and in chiral perturbation theory have enabled lattice QCD to emerge as a powerful quantitative tool in understanding hadron structure. I describe recent progress in the…
The light scalar mesons in a variety of approaches are briefly reviewed, as well as their description in the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion and related coupled-channel formalisms. A recent multichannel modelling of the light scalars is…
Using a ladder-rainbow kernel previously established for light quark hadron physics, we explore the extension to masses and electroweak decay constants of ground state pseudoscalar and vector quarkonia and heavy-light mesons in the c- and…
This thesis presents an investigation of meson and baryon properties in the framework of covariant bound-state equations based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. Pion and rho-meson, diquark, nucleon and delta-baryon masses are…
A model of hadron masses based on the quark structure of hadrons combined with effects of chiral dynamics is used to calculate the 2+1 flavour chiral condensate in the hadron resonance gas framework. Results are discussed in the context of…
The medium modification of mesons in dense hadronic matter is discussed with a focus on the relationship to the chiral structure of the non-perturbative QCD vacuum.
We introduce a new symmetry-preserving framework for the physics of heavy-light mesons, whose key element is the effective incorporation of flavour-dependent contributions into the corresponding bound-state and quark gap equations. These…
We do meson spectroscopy by studying the behavior of S-matrix poles in the complex-energy plane, as a function of the coupling strength for triplet-P-zero quark-pair creation. Thereto, a general formula for non-exotic hadron-hadron…
Light-cone Fock-state wavefunctions encode the properties of a hadron in terms of its fundamental quark and gluon degrees of freedom. A recent experiment at Fermilab, E791, demonstrates that the color coherence and shape of light-cone…
We review highlights of recent results on the hadron spectrum and flavor physics from lattice QCD. We also discuss recent rapid progress on the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
QCD lattice simulations with 2+1 flavours typically start at rather large up-down and strange quark masses and extrapolate first the strange quark mass to its physical value and then the up-down quark mass. An alternative method of tuning…
The correspondence between theories in anti-de Sitter space and field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semiclassical model for strongly-coupled QCD which has scale invariance at short distances and color confinement at…
We analyze Regge trajectories in terms of the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD. Neglecting spin-orbit contributions to the large $N_c$ baryon mass operator, we consider the evolution of the spin-flavor singlet component of the masses with respect…
This PhD thesis is a first step towards the control of the quantum corrections in the Resonance Chiral Theory, the suggested framework to handle QCD in the resonance region. After a theoretical introduction, Chapter 3 is devoted to…
Strange axial-vector kaons, $K_1$, and $f_1$ meson resonances are investigated in the 4-flavor AdS/QCD model. Their underlying differential configurational entropy is computed and the mass spectra of higher-excited resonances, in both these…
The effect of the laser linewidth on the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom is revisited. The novel spectral features, such as hole-burning and dispersive profiles at line centre of the fluorescence spectrum are predicted…
The 1/$N_c$ arguments are developed to classify the hadronic states in the correlators. Arguments applied to the $\sigma$ meson correlator enable to separate the instanton, glueball, and, in particular, the $\pi\pi$ scattering states by…
