Central Questions in Hadronic Physics What is the Nature of Confinement? Spectroscopy and form factors of hadrons The role of gluonic excitations Hadronization What is the Internal Structure of the Nucleon? (1D → 3D) How are spin and momentum distributed among partons? Correlations and 3D structure Orbital angular momentum of quarks How do Nuclear Properties Emerge from Quarks and Gluons? Are nucleons modified inside the nucleus?

Hadrons C.D. Roberts, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 61 (2008) 50Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 61 (2008) 50 M. Bhagwat & P.C. Tandy, AIP Conf.Proc. 842 (2006) 225-227AIP Conf.Proc. 842 (2006) 225-227 *Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking

Hadrons Meson Spectroscopy -> Anomalies Search for exotic hadrons, e.g. hybrid mesons Precision experimental study of valence region, and theoretical computation of distribution functions and distribution amplitudes Accurate elastic and transition form factor data drive paradigmatic shifts in our pictures of hadrons and their structure; e.g., role of orbital angular momentum and nonpointlike diquark correlations scale at which p-QCD effects become evident strangeness content meson-cloud effects
6
Valence Glue NSAC milestone HP15 (2018) Plot credit: NP2010 Exotics and hybrids are truly novel states They’re not matter as we know it In possessing valence glue, such states confound the distinction between matter fields and force carriers But they’re only exotic in a quantum mechanics based on constituent-quark degrees-of- freedom They’re natural in quantum field theory, far from the non- relativistic (potential model) limit No symmetry forbids them, QCD interaction promotes them, so they very probably exist! Excited Glue

Theory must be deve loped to explain how they fit together Hadron physics must deploy a diverse array of probes and tools in order to define and solve the problems of confinement and its relationship with Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking
