The differential cross sections and s-wave and p-wave multipoles for $\pi^- p \to \gamma n$ and $\pi^+ n \to \gamma p$ have been calculated through $O(p^3)$ in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). Fits to existing data allow…
Mesonic fluctuations around the chiral solitons are investigated in the SU(3) chiral quark soliton model. Since the soliton takes the non-hedgehog shape for the hyperons and the hedgehog one for the non-hedgehog baryons in our approach, the…

We extend a technique for the chiral extrapolation of hadron masses calculated with dynamical fermions to those generated by quenched simulations. The method ensures the correct leading and next-to-leading non-analytic behaviour for either…

We review the results of a phenomenological model for cold and dense nuclear matter exhibiting a chiral phase transition. The idea is to model the quark-hadron phase transition under neutron star conditions within a single model, but…
We revisit the work of K. Goeke, M. Harvey, F. Gr\"ummer, and J. N. Urbano (Phys. Rev. {\bf D37}, 754 (1988)) who considered a chiral model for the nucleon based on the linear sigma model with scalar-isoscalar scalar-isovector mesons…
Using the pole shifting procedure of the modified quenched approximation (MQA) to cure the exceptional configuration problem, accurate hadron hadron spectrum calculations can be obtained at very light quark mass. Here we use the MQA to…
We first construct the effective chiral Lagrangians for the $1^{-+}$ exotic mesons. With the infrared regularization scheme, we derive the one-loop infrared singular chiral corrections to the $\pi_1(1600)$ mass explicitly. We investigate…
Heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory including spin 3/2 delta resonances as effective degrees of freedom is reviewed. The theory admits a systematic expansion in the small scale $\epsilon$, where $\epsilon$ collectively denotes soft…
We study chiral symmetry restoration by analyzing thermal properties of QCD's (pseudo-)Goldstone bosons, especially the pion. The meson properties are obtained from the spectral densities of mesonic imaginary-time correlation functions. To…
We outline a consistent regularization procedure to compute hadron structure functions within bosonized chiral quark models. We impose the Pauli--Villars scheme, which reproduces the chiral anomaly, to regularize the bosonized action. We…
