We summarize the main results of the spin physics Working Group Session of DIS 2007, the 15th International Workshop on ``Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects''.
A general prescription for the construction of $\pi \pi$ interaction potentials which preserve scattering length constraints from chiral symmetry when iterated in scattering equations is derived. The prescription involves only minor…
The processes $\tau^- \to \pi^- \pi^0 \nu_{\tau}$ and $e^{+}e^{-} \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ are considered within the chiral Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with taking into account the pion final state interactions beyond the leading $1/N_c$…
A physical introduction to the basics of chiral dynamics is presented. Emphasis is placed on experimental tests which have generally demonstrated a strong confirmation of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory, a low energy effective…
A brief introduction to different determinations of the piNN coupling constant is given, and some comments on the topics discussed in the working group are made.
The mini-proceedings of the Light Meson Dynamics Workshop held in Mainz from February 10th to 12th, 2014, are presented. The web page of the conference, which contains all talks, can be found at https://indico.cern.ch/event/287442/overview…
pi-N and pi-pi interactions near threshold are uniquely sensitive to the chiral symmetry breaking part of the strong interaction. The pi-N sigma-term value with its implications for nucleon quark structure and the recent controversy…
We summarize the main results of the Spin Physics Working Group Sessions at DIS 2010, the XVIII International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects.
We investigate the interactions and chiral properties of the four spin-$\thalf$-baryons : $N^-(D_{13})$, $N^+(P_{13})$, $\Delta^+(P_{33})$ and $\Delta^-(D_{33})$ together with the nucleon. We construct the $SU(2)_R \times SU(2)_L$ invariant…
These lectures give an introduction to baryon chiral perturbation theory. I show in detail how to construct the chiral effective pion-nucleon Lagrangian in the one loop approximation. Particular emphasis is put on the physics related to…
A summary of new experimental results and recent theoretical developments presented in the ``Spin Physics'' working group is given.
The standard way to demonstrate the relevance of chiral symmetry for the NN interaction is to consider higher partial waves of NN scattering which are controlled entirely by chiral pion-exchanges (since contacts vanish). However, in…
A brief introduction to the subject of chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$pt) is presented, including a discussion of effective field theory and applications of $\chi$pt in the arena of purely mesonic interactions as well as in the $\pi N$…
We show that it makes sense to coarse grain hadronic interactions such as $\pi\pi$ and $\pi N$ reactions following previous work on NN scattering. Moreover, if the interaction is taken to be given by chiral dynamics at long distances above…
This is a personal summary of the workshop. I overview the topics of the workshop and itemize what we learned at the workshop.
The description of strong interaction physics of low-lying resonances is out of the valid range of perturbative QCD. Chiral effective field theories have been developed to tackle the issue. Partial wave dynamics is the systematic tool to…
We review the actual state in the description of the NN interaction by means of chiral constituent quark models. We present a series of relevant features that are nicely explained within the quark model framework.
A few subjects which strongly intertwine our field are discussed: K --> Pi Pi decay, chiral symmetry on the lattice and a few other selected topics. Open questions are touched also on perturbation theory, locality, Gribov copies, CP…
Preliminary results of the strong interaction shift and width in pionic hydrogen ($\pi H$) using an X-ray spectrometer with spherically bent crystals and CCDs as X-ray detector are presented. In the experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute…
