A large number of experimental discoveries especially in the heavy quarkonium sector that did not at all fit to the expectations of the until then very successful quark model led to a renaissance of hadron spectroscopy. Among various…
The spectral function of rho meson in hot/dense hadronic matter is studied by taking into account the nucleon-loop on quantum hadrondynamics model level. Different from the hot pion gas effect which changes the spectral function slightly,…
In the quest to understand QCD there are a number of outstanding challenges. Here we focus on one of these, namely what one expects to happen to the structure of a hadron when it is immersed in a nuclear medium. We argue that the necessary…
Current long baseline experiments aim at measuring neutrino oscillation parameters with a high precision. A critical quantity is the neutrino energy which can not be measured directly but has to be reconstructed from the observed hadrons. A…
There exist model calculations showing the modification of the hadronic parameters of $\rho$ meson in the nuclear environment. From these parameters, we extract the $\rho$ meson nucleus optical potential and show the medium effect due to…

Hadronic decays of the $\tau$ lepton provide a clean source to study hadron dynamics in an energy regime dominated by resonances, with the interesting information captured in the spectral functions. Recent results on exclusive channels are…
The dynamics of nuclear transparency in hard nuclear reactions is studied by an expansion of the correlator of the hard scattering operator on a hadronic basis. Colour transparency appears as an effect of interference between the amplitudes…

It should be a typical subject in this workshop to explore possible change of hadron properties in association with that of QCD vacuum due to an environmental change. In this report, we first summarize what hadrons are expected to show such…
Deep inelastic scattering of leptons from hadrons at small values of the Bjorken parameter $x$ is studied from superstring theory. In particular, we focus on single-flavored scalar and vector mesons in the large $N$ limit. This is studied…
The photoproduction of vector mesons on various nuclei has been studied using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Laboratory. The vector mesons, $\rho$, $\omega$, and $\phi$, are observed via their decay to $e^+e^-$,…
The question of the origin of hadron masses is one major issue in the understanding of the strong interaction. The challenge is addressed by searching for indications of in-medium modifications of hadron properties and studying hadrons in…

Understanding the effects of a background hadronic medium on hadronic observables is important in the context of hadron structure. Many experiments probing nucleon structure make use of nuclear targets and unraveling the modifications that…
The linear sigma model we present here describes the vacuum phenomenology of the $N_F=2$ scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector mesons at energies $\simeq 1\text{ GeV}$. Together with a local $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ symmetry obtained…
We investigate the properties of the neutron star with relativistic mean field models. We incorporate in the quantum hadrodynamics and in the quark-meson coupling models a possible reduction of meson masses in nuclear matter. The equation…
We present an exploratory study using generalized parton distributions of several observables related to transverse degrees of freedom in hadronic structure -- the nucleon transverse momentum, the transverse radius, or impact parameter, and…
The quark-meson coupling model, based on a mean-field description of non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of $\sigma$, $\omega$ and $\rho$ mesons, is extended to investigate the change of hadron properties in…
