Photon interactions at the LHC result in striking final states with much lower hadronic activity in the central detectors than for pp interactions. In addition, the elastic exchange of a photon leads to a proton scattered at almost…
Collisions of atomic nuclei at relativistic velocities allow to recreate the conditions encountered in neutron stars or in the early universe micro-seconds after the Big Bang. These reactions are performed in today's largest accelerator…

The status of flow in heavy-ion collisions and of inference of hadronic-matter properties is reviewed.
Photon wave function is a controversial concept. Controversies stem from the fact that photon wave functions can not have all the properties of the Schroedinger wave functions of nonrelativistic wave mechanics. Insistence on those…

Color transparency is the proposal that under certain circumstances the strong interactions can be reduced in magnitude. We give a comprehensive review of the physics, which hinges on the interface of perturbative QCD with non--perturbative…
The QCD treatment of the photon structure is recalled. Emphasis is given to the recently derived momentum sum rule, and to the proper choice of the factorization scheme and/or boundary conditions for the evolution equations beyond the…
Understanding hadronic interactions at high energies represents a very important ingredient for modeling high energy cosmic ray air showers. In this paper, we present a new approach to simulate hadronic interactions, including…

Advances in experiment, theory and phenomenology of hadron spectroscopy are discussed. We focus on specific developments in the meson sector.
The talk consists of three parts. ``History'' briefly describes the emergence and evolution of the concept of photon during the first two decades of the 20th century. ``Mass'' gives a short review of the literature on the upper limit of the…
We give a brief survey of the theory of hadronic atoms, which represent important sources of information for studying hadron interactions at very low energy. It will be namely demonstrated that a systematic expansion of the observables of…
Slow nucleons emitted during a hadron-nucleus interaction can give information on the centrality, impact parameter of the collision. The aim of this note is to provide the reader with the important characteristics of the slow nucleons,…
