Description

Hadrons emerge as strongly interacting, relativistic bound states of quarks and gluons in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong force. They are not static but have complex dynamical internal structure, which are only beginning to be revealed in modern experiments. Since no modern detector can see quarks and gluons in isolation, it is an unprecedented intellectual challenge to “see” and quantify the hadron structure. In this talk, I will provide an update on what have we learned about the hadron structure? how to quantify the hadron structure? and what do we expect to learn in a near future with the existing and future facilities, as well as lattice QCD?
