We discuss the use of light-front field theory in the descriptions of hadrons.

In particular, we clarify the confusion in the prevailing notion of the equivalence between the infinite momentum frame and the light-front dynamics and the advantage of
the light-front dynamics in hadron physics. As an application, we present our recent work on the flavor asymmetry in the proton sea and identify... -
Daniel Mohler (Fermilab)29/08/2016, 15:30Section B: Light Quarks
I will review recent lattice results on the meson and baryon spectrum with a focus on the determination of hadronic resonance masses and widths using a combined basis of single-hadron and hadron-hadron interpolating fields. I will emphasize how these mostly exploratory calculations differ from traditional lattice QCD spectrum calculations for states stable under QCD.

Prof. Tanja Horn (Catholic University of America)29/08/2016, 17:30Section B: Light Quarks
Meson electroproduction data play an important role in our understanding of hadron structure and the dynamics that bind the basic elements of nuclear physics. Pion and kaon form factors are of particular interest as they are connected to the Goldstone modes of chiral dynamical symmetry breaking. The last decade saw a dramatic improvement in precision of charged pion form factor data and new...

Jacobo Ruiz de Elvira (HISKP, Bonn University)29/08/2016, 17:30Section B: Light Quarks
A precise understanding of low-energy pion-nucleon interactions is central for many areas in nuclear and hadronic physics, ranging from the scalar couplings of the nucleon to the long-range part of two-pion-exchange potentials and three-nucleon forces in Chiral Effective Field Theory. We present a calculation that combines the general principles of analyticity, unitarity, and crossing symmetry...

I will review the conditions and properties of the anomalous triangle singularity (ATS) in the transition matrix elements. For certain processes, the ATS condition can be fulfilled and will produce measureable effects in physical observables. In particular, when the ATS threshold is located within the physical regime, it may produce threshold enhancements which can mix with pole structures...

Dr Robert Kaminski (Institute of Nuclear Physics PAS, Krakow, Poland)29/08/2016, 19:00Section B: Light Quarks
The low energy (below ~2 GeV) pi-eta channel interaction amplitude becomes an object of interest mainly because of the search for exotic mesons in just beginning to collect data detector GlueX in Jefferson Lab. Finding and interpretation of expected weak signals from these states require a comparison with a very accurate amplitude containing standard (q-bar q) states i.e. a0(980) and a0(1450)....

The kaon beam represents a source of tagged neutral pion decays in vacuum.

In this talk we present the Two-hadron saturation (THS) scenario for the PVV correlator and apply it to two important processes of the low energy hadron physics: the Dalitz decay of $\pi^0$ and $\pi^0\to e^+e^-$. We briefly summarize experimental and theoretical results on the rare decay $\pi^0\to e^+e^-$. The notorious $3.3\,\sigma$ discrepancy between the SM prediction and the experimental...

The concept of Generalized Parton Distributions promises an understanding of the generation of the charge, spin, and energy-momentum structure of hadrons by their fundamental constituents, quarks and gluons. Forthcoming measurements with unprecedented accuracy at Jefferson Lab and at CERN will presumably challenge our quantitative description of the three-dimensional structure of hadrons. To...

Thomas Cohen (University of Maryland)30/08/2016, 17:30Section B: Light Quarks
While QCD is the theory underlying hadronic physics, much of our intuition about hadronic states has been developed in the context of the constituent quark model. Exotic states—ones that cannot be described in the simplest version of the quark models with mesons as a quark-antiquark state and baryons as a three quark state—are important since they clarify the limitation of the quark model as...

Raul Briceno (Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facillity)30/08/2016, 17:30Section B: Light Quarks
The non-perturbative nature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has historically left a gap in our understanding of the connection between the fundamental theory of the strong interactions and the rich structure of experimentally observed phenomena. For the simplest properties of stable hadrons, this is now circumvented by utilizing lattice QCD (LQCD). In this talk I outline a path towards a...

Dmitri Melikhov (HEPHY)30/08/2016, 17:50Section B: Light Quarks
The method of QCD sum rules is based on the extraction of hadron observables (decay constants, form factors, etc) from the correlation functions of the appropriate quark currents. Because of the properties of the correlation functions containing the exotic multiquark (i.e. four-quark, five-quark) currents, the contribution of the exotic multiquark hadrons to these correlation functions emerge...

Max Hansen30/08/2016, 18:00Section B: Light Quarks
Numerical Lattice QCD calculations are necessarily performed in a finite volume and with Euclidean time. For scattering and transition amplitudes these constraints have important consequences. In particular, it is not possible to directly access such amplitudes from numerically determined Euclidean correlators. In the past decades, great progress has been made to overcome this limitation by...

A review of familiar results of the three-point Green functions of currents in the odd-intrinsic parity sector of QCD is presented.

We explore the ground state energy of pseudoscalar charged and neutral mesons as a function of external magnetic field in SU(3) lattice gauge theory. We calculate the dipole magnetic polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of charged and neutral pseudoscalar pi and K mesons.

Dr Matthias Jamin (ICREA & IFAE)30/08/2016, 18:50Section B: Light Quarks
The Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) coupling, αs, is not a physical observable of the theory since it depends on conventions related to the renormalization procedure. We introduce a definition of the QCD coupling, denoted by αˆs, whose running is explicitly renormalization scheme invariant. The scheme dependence of the new coupling αˆs is parameterized by a single parameter C, related to...

We summarize results on the internal structure and properties of the pion and kaon as an illustration of how insights into hadron physics can be obtained from calculations based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. The light pseudoscalar mesons are the best possible case for such considerations as the approach is very well-constrained by symmetries and there is direct connection to...

Three-flavor chiral perturbation theory with $t,b,c$ quarks decoupled tests the infrared limit of three-flavor QCD. The standard theory $\chi$PT$_3$ (before being unitarized) assumes that there is no infrared fixed point $\alpha_{\mathrm{IR}}$. If $\alpha_{\mathrm{IR}}$ exists, we get chiral-scale perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_\sigma$ about a scale-invariant theory where the quark condensate...

Recently, the GWU lattice group has evaluated high-precision phase-shift data for $\pi\pi$ scattering in the $I=1$, $J=1$ channel. Unitary Chiral Perturbation Theory describes these data well around the resonance region and for different pion masses. Moreover, it allows to extrapolate to the physical point and estimate the effect of the missing $K\bar{K}$ channel in the two-flavor lattice...

Strong diquark correlations inside baryons is a consequence of two emergent phenomena in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and confinement. That is to say, any interaction capable of creating pseudo-Goldstone modes as bound-states of a light dressed-quark and -antiquark, will necessarily also generate strong colour-antitriplet correlations between any two dressed...

By β-decay a Neutron transforms into a Proton and emits a Positron and a Neutrino. The latter only interacts weakly.
