1. Structure of Matter

2. Nucleons and quarks 1950’s: nucleons are not elementary 1960++: quark model and QCD (Nobel prize 2004) 2007++: Higgs particle discovered? (at LHC) have we understood the strong interaction?

3. How is the mass created? What is the role of quarks and gluons? Only few % of the hadronic mass can be explained by the Higgs Mechanism! No!!! There might be Experimental surprises! (flux tube animation by D. Leinweber et al.) Do other than 2, 3 quark objects exist?

4. Some Places to Explore Non-Pertubative QCD charmonium spectroscopy gluonic excitations (hybrids, glueballs)  -ray spectroscopy of hypernuclei

5. Charmonium Spectroscopy narrow states! many states and transitions not understood!! positronium of QCD! transition region between two limits: massless and heavy-quark!

6. hybrids: “ordinary” quark states containing excited glue Gluonic Excitations glueballs: gluonic states without valence quark contribution

7. Stranges s Neutron Number Extension of the Nuclear Chart We do not yet understand the interaction of normal matter with hyperon matter!
