We review the approach to modeling soft hadron physics observables based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. The focus is on light quark mesons and in particular the pseudoscalar and vector ground states, their decays and…
We show that double parton distributions, which are important in describing double parton scattering processes in hadron collisions, can be directly computed from correlations of equal-time nonlocal Euclidean operators on the lattice in the…
P-odd correlations in the deuteron photodesintegration are considered. The $\pi$-meson exchange is not operative in the case of unpolarized deuterons. For polarized deuterons a P-odd correlation due to the $\pi$-meson exchange is about $3…
Weak interactions between quarks give rise to hadronic parity violation which can be observed in nuclear and few-nucleon systems. We study the QCD renormalization of the isotensor component of parity violation at next-to-leading order…
A truncated determinant algorithm is used to study the physical effects of the quark eigenmodes associated with eigenvalues below 400 MeV. This initial study focuses on coarse lattices (with O(a^2) improved gauge action), light internal…
The order parameter of the chiral phase transition is directly related to the infrared part of the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator. This part of the spectrum follows from the low energy limit of QCD which is given by a partition function…
Euclidean-time hadron correlation functions computed in Lattice QCD (LQCD) are modeled by a sum of decaying exponentials, reminiscent of the exponentially damped sinusoid models of free induction decay (FID) in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance…
At low temperature the low end of the QCD Dirac spectrum is well described by chiral random matrix theory. In contrast, at high temperature there is no similar statistical description of the spectrum. We show that at high temperature the…
Close to the chiral limit, many calculations in numerical lattice QCD can potentially be accelerated using low-mode deflation techniques. In this paper it is shown that the recently introduced domain-decomposed deflation subspaces can be…

The photon emission rate of a thermally equilibrated system is determined by the imaginary part of the in-medium retarded correlator of the electromagnetic current transverse to the spatial momentum of the photon. In a Lorentz-covariant…
The use of Pade Approximants for the analysis of the pion vector form-factor is discussed and justified in this talk. The method is tested first in a theoretical model and applied then on real experimental data. It is shown how the Pade…
We construct the transfer matrix for the ghost sector of partially quenched QCD. This transfer matrix is not hermitian, but we show that it is still bounded. We thus expect that all euclidean correlation functions will decay exponentially…
Hadronic interactions are discussed within the context of the constituent quark model. The "Quark Born Diagram" methodology is outlined, extensive applications to meson-meson and meson-baryon interactions are discussed, and general features…
We compare the isospin-one, vector-current hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) obtained from isospin-symmetric lattice QCD with that obtained from a dispersive representation employing inclusive hadronic $\tau$ decay data corrected for…
QCD undergoes a deconfining transition at high temperature to a "quark-gluon plasma" phase where hadrons may become unbound. In this work, meson correlation functions at non-zero momentum are studied both in the confined and plasma phases…
The electromagnetic coupling constant, $\alpha$, is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model (SM). Its value at the Z boson mass, $\alpha(M_Z)$, is of particular interest as it enters electroweak precision tests. When running…

The correlation function of meson interpolators in $N_f=2+1+1$ lattice QCD with optimal domain-wall quarks at the physical point are studied for six temperatures in the range $ T \sim$ 190-770 MeV. The meson interpolators include a complete…
The quantum hadrodynamics (QHD) model with minimal nucleon-meson couplings is generalized by introducing couplings of mesons to derivatives of the nucleon field in the Lagrangian density. This approach allows an effective description of a…
