These lectures discuss the question of whether a key feature is seen in hadron spectroscopy--the near degeneracy of hadrons with different parity and/or spin. It has been conjectured that this is due to an effective restoration of chiral…
Exotic physics typically encompasses two categories of exotic particles: ``dark" particles beyond the standard model and exotic hadrons within the extended standard model. We present a summary of the recent results on exotic particles at…
