Key questions in hadron physics

What is confinement and how is it connected with dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, the origin of more than 98% of visible mass in the Universe?

– What are the dynamics underlying elastic and transition form factors and structure functions of hadrons? How does valence quark structure affect the sea?

– Where is the missing spin in the nucleon? Are there significant contributions from gluons or valence quark orbital angular momentum?

– Can we reveal a novel landscape of nucleon substructure through measurements of new multidimensional distribution functions?

– Do gluonic excitations have a role in the spectroscopy of light mesons and baryons?

How do nuclei emerge from QCD?– What is the relation between short-range N-N correlations

and the partonic structure of nuclei?

Concluding statement

Understanding hadrons will be one of nuclear physics’ greatest contributions to science

New 21st century tools have positioned us well for the next decade: – JLab 12 GeV, RHIC - Major U.S. facilities lead the world– FNAL – MI, CERN COMPASS-II, HIS, Mainz, J-PARC, FAIR provide

targeted experiments that complement the central program– Far future: EIC

We are camped on one of the most interesting frontiers in science
