Today's accelerator facilities used for studies of relativistic heavy-ion collisions cover an energy range spanning over three orders of magnitude, from a few GeV up to a few TeV in center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}$).…
An overview is presented of the talks in the working group on Goldstone Bosons. Topics touched on are CP-violation in the Kaon system, rare Kaon decays, $\pi\pi$-scattering, $\phi$-meson decays, scalar mesons, form-factors and…
This talk presents issues pertaining to the quark structure of the pion within QCD, both from the theoretical and from the experimental point of view. We review and discuss the pion-photon transition form factor and the pion's…
In this talk various aspects of in-medium behavior of hadrons are discussed with an emphasis on observable effects. Examples for theoretical predictions of in-medium spectral functions are given and the importance of resonance-hole…
This invited summary gives some concluding remarks regarding theoretical aspects of the research presented at Charm2010. I will specialize to the role of theory and the relative reach of theory and experiment in three of the major areas of…
Many new results on hadron spectra have been appearing in the past few years thanks to improved experimental techniques and searches in new channels. New theoretical techniques including refined methods of lattice QCD have kept pace with…
In this review we give a perspective of the theoretical work done recently on the interpretation of results from $B$, $D$, $\Lambda_b$, $\Lambda_c$ weak decays into final states that contain interacting hadrons, and how it is possible to…
This report summarizes topics in hadron spectroscopy and production which could be addressed at CEBAF with an energy upgrade to $E_\gamma=8$ GeV and beyond. The topics discussed include conventional meson and baryon spectroscopy,…
A summary is presented of the more theoretical aspects of the presentations made at Hyperon~99. In addition, some material is covered which was not presented at the symposium but which I feel is pertinent to the main theme of hyperons…
I review recent progress made in the description of pion-nucleon scattering, the $\sigma$--term, the scalar form factor and the strangeness content of the nucleon in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. Other topics are…
Recent developments in soft hadronic interactions are reviewed. Emphasis it put on measurements of the proton structure at low x, photon structure, diffraction and exclusive processes such as vector-meson production and their interpretation…
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…
Highlights of recent theory developments are summarized relevant to precision Standard Model (SM) studies and searches for Beyond-the-SM (BSM) phenomena at present and future high-energy pp and e+ e- colliders, and B-factories, as well as…
Over the past two decades, meson photo- and electroproduction data of unprecedented quality and quantity have been measured at electromagnetic facilities worldwide. By contrast, the meson-beam data for the same hadronic final states are…
This White Paper outlines a coordinated, decade-spanning programme of hadron and QCD studies anchored at the GSI/FAIR accelerator complex. Profiting from intense deuteron, proton and pion beams coupled with high-rate capable detectors and…
I give a summary of Section E of the seventh edition of the Conference ''Quark confinement and the hadron spectrum". Papers were presented on different subjects, from spectroscopy, including pentaquarks and hadron structure, to the quest…
The existence of hadronic molecular-type hybrids consisting of a baryon and a meson is argued. Long-range interactions due to one-pion exchange is shown to be strong enough to produce a loosely bound state. Specific features of a molecular…
It has long been expected that the spectrum of hadrons in QCD would be far richer and extensive than experiment has so far revealed. While there have been experimental hints of this richness for some time, it is really only in the last few…
In this work, we present an updated study about the interactions of quarkonia with surrounding hadronic medium. The meson-meson interactions are described with a chiral effective Lagrangian within the framework of unitarized coupled channel…
The following aspects of the electroweak interactions are discussed, based on presentations here: the status of the Standard Model, CP violation, neutrino masses and oscillations, supersymmetry and models in extra dimensions, and future…
