Chiral Symmetry In Hadrons And Nuclei: Proceedings Of The Seventh International Symposium: [Hardcover]

This proceedings volume collected papers presented at a recent symposium on Chiral Symmetry in Hadrons and Nuclei  the seventh in a series of international symposia  with an aim of providing a platform for discussions among the experts and an overview of the present status in the hadron and nuclear physics related to the chiral symmetry.The recent past years have seen a remarkable progress towards a unified description of nonperturbative strong interaction phenomena based on the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, Quantum ChromoDynamics, and Effective Field Theories. The topics discussed in these proceedings include: chiral and heavy-quark spin symmetry; chiral dynamics of few-body hadron systems; chiral symmetry and hadrons in a nuclear medium; chiral dynamics in nucleon-nucleon interaction and atomic nuclei; chiral symmetry in rotating nuclei; hadron structure and interactions; exotic hadrons, heavy flavor hadrons and nuclei; mesonic atoms and nuclei.

Readership: Researchers and graduate students interested in nuclear and particle physics.
