I investigate the behavior of spin-dependent parton distribution functions in the regions of small and large momentum fractions $x$. I present a systematic comparison between predictions for relevant observables obtained with various models…

This PhD thesis is a first step towards the control of the quantum corrections in the Resonance Chiral Theory, the suggested framework to handle QCD in the resonance region. After a theoretical introduction, Chapter 3 is devoted to…

Model studies play an important role for the understanding and elucidation of the nonperturbative properties of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). The parton model is often a helpful framework and starting…

A pedagogical review of the past 50 years of study of resonances, leading to our understanding of the quark content of baryons and mesons. The level of this review is intended for undergraduates or first-year graduate students. Topics…

Accurate Standard Model predictions of proton-proton collisions are essential for interpreting the current and forthcoming experimental measurements from high-energy colliders. The quest for physics beyond the Standard Model is in fact…

We compute the leading non-analytic correction to the baryon mass in the combined limits m_\pi -> 0, N_c -> \infty with the product m_\pi x N_c held fixed. We reproduce the results of Cohen and Broniowski using semiclassical methods rather…

Properties of mesons are investigated within the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We include meson-loop corrections, which are generated via a systematic 1/N_c-expansion in next-to-leading order. We show that our scheme is consistent with chiral…

By expanding functions of parton fragmentation into a heavy hadron in the inverse of the heavy quark mass $m_Q$ we attempt to factorize them into perturbative- and nonperturbative parts. In our approach the nonperturbative parts can be…

Chiral perturbation theory is the effective field theory of the strong interactions at low energies. We will give a short introduction to chiral perturbation theory for mesons and will discuss, as an example, the electromagnetic…

Low and high energy properties of the pion are reviewed in the framework of chiral quark models. Particular emphasis is put on the simplest version of the SU(2) NJL model as prototype. The role of gauge invariance in this kind of…

We review strategies to unveil the primordial large-$x$ structure of the nucleons as well as the pion from hard-scattering experiments. Ideas are presented for learning about the $x\to 1$ limit of nonperturbative QCD dynamics at energy…

Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) have emerged as a powerful framework for exploring the internal structure of hadrons in terms of their partonic constituents. Over the past three decades, the field has witnessed significant…

The construction of a resonance theory involving hadrons requires implementing the information from higher scales into the couplings of the effective Lagrangian. We consider the large-Nc chiral resonance theory incorporating scalars and…

The effective interaction between a quark and an anti-quark as obtained previously with by the method of iterated resolvents is replaced by the so called up-down-model and applied to flavor off-diagonal mesons including the pion. The only…

We present a model for the structure of the pion. Based on ideas of a recently developed statistical model of the nucleon, we assume the pion to be a gas of partons. The finite-size corrections (FSC) are incorporated through two parameters.…

I explain the current status of parton-distribution-function (PDF) studies and future experimental prospects on their determinations. First, unpolarized PDFs of the nucleon are introduced as a field of precision QCD physics including…

Parton distribution functions are key quantities for us to understand the hadronic structures in high-energy scattering, but they are difficult to calculate from lattice QCD. Recent years have seen fast development of the large-momentum…

Following Weinberg's argument that narrow tetraquark mesons are not precluded in large N_c QCD, we explore the flow of N_c factors needed for the consistency of this picture, and show that they must arise in a novel way, not simply through…

In the framework of a QCD inspired relativistic potential model, we evaluate radiative decay rates of heavy mesons and their coupling with soft pions. The agreement with the existing experimental data is satisfactory. In the limit $m_Q \to…

We report the first Lattice QCD calculation using the almost physical pion mass mpi=149 MeV that agrees with experiment for four fundamental isovector observables characterizing the gross structure of the nucleon: the Dirac and Pauli radii,…
