We derive a single-channel effective Kbar N interaction from chiral SU(3) coupled-channel dynamics, emphasizing the important role of the pi Sigma channel and the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance. The chiral low energy theorem…

Using a chiral unitary approach for meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness zero sector, where the $N^*(1535)$ resonance is dynamically generated, we study the reactions $\gamma p \to \pi^0 \eta p$ and $\gamma p \to \pi^0 K^0 \Sigma^+$…

We show that a generalization of $su(2)$ Chiral Perturbation Theory, including a perturbative singlet scalar field, converges faster towards the physical value of sensible low--energy observables. The physical mass and width of the scalar…

A chiral quark-model approach is adopted to study the $\gamma p\rightarrow \pi^0p$ and $\gamma n\rightarrow \pi^0 n$ reactions. Good descriptions of the total and differential cross sections and single-polarization observables are obtained…

The reasons why a considerable effort is made to resolve the low energy structure of QCD are discussed. The effective field theory used for this purpose is illustrated with the recent progress made in the predictions for pipi scattering and…

The role of the quark condensate for the low energy structure of QCD is discussed in some detail. In particular, the dependence of M_pi on m_u and m_d and the low energy theorems for the pi-pi scattering amplitude are reviewed. The new data…

Until present the study of the form factors associated to the vector and axial-vector components of the hadronic weak current has been carried out with a plethora of modelizations of the underlying strong interactions. While of importance…

We discuss the chiral behavior of nucleon and Delta(1232) electromagnetic properties within the framework of a SU(2) covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. Our one-loop calculation is complete to the order p^3 and p^4/Delta with Delta…

Chiral perturbation theory is the low energy effective theory of the strong interactions for the light pseudoscalar degrees of freedom. This program is based on effective Lagrangian techniques and is an expansion in the powers of the…

We stress, on theoretical and phenomenological grounds, the importance of the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance in a chiral effective field theory approach applied to the study of $\pi N$ scattering. We show how its inclusion as a dynamical degree…

We consider the relationship between P-wave pi-N scattering and the strength of the P-wave two-pion-exchange three-nucleon interaction (TPE3NI). We explain why effective theories that do not contain the delta resonance as an explicit degree…

The delta-regime of QCD is characterised by light quarks in a small spatial box, but a large extent in (Euclidean) time. In this setting a specific variant of chiral perturbation theory - the delta-expansion - applies, based on a quantum…

We make a study of the (pi^- p --> K^0 pi^0 Lambda), (pi^+ p --> K^+ pi^+ Lambda), (K^+\bar{K}^0 p), (K^+ pi^+ Sigma^0), (K^+ pi^0 Sigma^+), and (eta pi^+ p) reactions, in which the basic dynamics is given by the excitation of the…

Although there are phenomenological indications that the low-energy constants in the chiral lagrangian may be understood in terms of a finite number of hadronic resonances, it remains unclear how this follows from QCD. One of the arguments…

The neutrino pion production off the nucleon is traditionally described in the literature by means of the weak excitation of the Delta(1232) resonance and its subsequent decay into N pi. Here, we present results from a model that includes…

CERN measurements of pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n on polarized target at 17.2 GeV/c enable experimental determination of partial wave production amplitudes below 1080 MeV. The measured S-wave transversity amplitudes provide evidence for a narrow…

I discuss the recent attempts to build an effective chiral Lagrangian incorporating massive resonance states. A useful approximation scheme to organize the resonance Lagrangian is provided by the large-Nc limit of QCD. Integrating out the…

The spontaneous breakdown of the chiral symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian ensures that $\pi\pi$ interactions are weak at low energies. How weak depends on the nature of explicit symmetry breaking. Measurements of $K_{e4}$ decays at DA$\Phi$NE…

I consider some selected topics in chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) as probed at colliders such as DA$\Phi$NE. Emphasis is put on processes involving pions in the isospin zero S-wave which require multi-loop calculations. These include the…

The gamma p ---> pi+ pi- p reaction, in combination with data from the pi N ---> pi pi N reaction, allows one to obtain the s- and d-wave amplitudes for the N*(1520) decay into Delta pi with absolute sign with respect to the N*(1520) ---> N…
