Outline Fundamental questions Hadron imaging Impact on other fields Current pictures Conclusions
Fundamental questions about the nucleon Nucleons are key building blocks of all matter around us, and yet we do not know that much about them ! Origin of mass and spin ? Mproton = Mquarks + Ekinetic + Einteraction ~ 2% ~ 98% Higgs boson Strong interaction Proton Quarks
Fundamental questions about the nucleon But also … Size ? Shape ? Structure ? 2010
Approaches to the problem Hadron spectroscopy Lattice prediction of light meson spectrum [J. Dudek et al. (2011)] Meson spectrum better known than baryon spectrum Missing resonances (other production channel ?) Exotic states (glueballs, hybrids, tetraquarks, pentaquarks, …) Nature (bound state, molecule, mixing, …)
Approaches to the problem Hadron imaging « Quantum billiard » Charge distribution [Carlson, Vanderhaeghen (2008)] Electron Proton Large number of distributions (charge, spin, flavor, momentum, …) Requires high luminosities Intensity frontier Essential input for high-energy physics (electroweak, BSM, dark matter, …)
