We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

The theory of the strong interaction, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), describes the
generation of hadronic masses and the state of hadronic matter during the early stages of …

In this paper we extend the work synthetically presented by M. Baldicchi, AV Nesterenko,
GM Prosperi, DV Shirkov, and C. Simolo [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 242001 (2007) PRLTAO 0031 …

We explore various aspects of the motion of heavy quarks in strongly-coupled gauge
theories, employing the AdS/CFT correspondence. Building on earlier work by Mikhailov, we …

We review the present theoretical and empirical knowledge for α s, the fundamental
coupling underlying the interactions of quarks and gluons in Quantum Chromodynamics …

Motivated by recent investigations in sphaleron physics, we discuss several ways in which
even weakly-coupled gauge theories, like the standard model, show non-perturbative …

We argue that although at asymptotically high temperatures the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)
in bulk behaves as a gas of weakly interacting quasiparticles (modulo long-range …

Within contemporary hadron physics there are two common methods for determining the
momentum-dependence of the interaction between quarks: the top-down approach, which …

At RHIC, recent experiments over the last two years reveal a new state of nuclear matter,
hitherto unknown to us. While the term “quark–gluon plasma (QGP)” has been used in the …

The topical workshop Strong QCD from Hadron Structure Experiments took place at
Jefferson Lab from November 6–9, 2019. Impressive progress in relating hadron structure …
