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…
This talk includes a short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory in the meson sector concentrating on a number of recent developments. I discuss the latest fit of the low-energy constants. Finite volume corrections are discussed for…
2008 was a vintage year for the QCD Moriond meeting. Plenty of new data from Tevatron, HERA, B-Factories and other experiments have been reported. Some brand new results became public just before or even during the conference. A few new…
I give a pedagogical and historical introduction to axion physics, and briefly review the present status of axions in our understanding of particle physics and cosmology. This is a contribution to Continuous Advances in QCD 2002/Arkadyfest,…
A substantial body of data is described by the Standard Model of particle physics. However the description is far from perfect and there is a growing number of internal inconsistencies. These fall short of qualifying as discoveries;…
A non-perturbative method which combines constraints from chiral symmetry breaking and coupled channel unitarity is used to describe the meson-meson interaction up to about 1.2 GeV. The approach uses the O(p^2) and O(p^4) chiral…
The proceeding gives a summary of the experimental results presented at the Moriond 2024 conference (electroweak interactions and unified theory session), focussing on the latest measurements. A variety of topics were covered in the various…
This is a review of some of the highlights of the 6th workshop on the physics of the tau lepton and its neutrino. This includes the test of lepton universality, measurement of Lorentz Structure, study of hadronic decays, direct evidence of…
A largely qualitative, and rather idiosyncratic discussion of electron fractionalization in condensed matter physics is presented, including some historical reflections and some speculations concerning future application of these ideas.…
The after-dinner talk has by now become a tradition of this Conference series on Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum. On this occasion, I have tried to combine a free-style and (hopefully) amusing presentation with deep questions of…
The year 2024 marks two anniversaries: The 70th anniversary of CERN and the 50th anniversary of the $J/\Psi$ discovery. At this occasion I have been asked to give review talks on the significance of these anniversaries. This article is an…
We present a vision for the next decade of hadron physics in which the central question being addressed is how one might win new physical insight into the way hadronic systems work. The topics addressed include the relevance of model…
In these lectures I cover various aspects of Chiral Symmetry in the hadronic world from a pre-QCD perspective. I also discuss the absence of spontaneous symmetry breaking in d=4 large N O(N) models.
We first discuss the theoretical and phenomenological significance of the sigma meson ($\sigma$) in QCD. It is indicated that if the collective modes with the mass 500-600 MeV exists in the $I=J=0$ channel, various empirical facts in hadron…
These lecture notes include the following topics. Chapter 1 deals with QCD and its global symmetries in the chiral limit, explicit symmetry breaking in terms of the quark masses, and the concept of Green functions and Ward identities…
The description of the internal structure of hadrons is one of the main goal of QCD. At moderate energy scales, the hadronic representation succeeds to the partonic description, rendering challenging the description of the dynamics of…
The meson-exchange current in nuclei, a long-standing problem in nuclear physics, is described in modern theory of strong interactions, namely, QCD expressed in terms of effective chiral Lagrangian field theory. Some old results are given a…
This HADRON05 summary covers the topics of (1) mesons containing heavy quarks, and (2) theory. The new material discussed here is taken mainly from plenary presentations. We specifically emphasize new or recent results in spectroscopy that…
Conference summary presentation given at HCP2002, Karlsruhe, Germany, Sep 29-Oct 4, 2002.
Although we have a theory of strong interactions, its implications for the physics of average hadron collisions, which is the focus of this series of conferences, are far from obvious. QCD has nevertheless been a very powerful guide and I…
