The scope of the </div><div class="">conference is to bring together theoretical and experimental experts on all areas of physics</div><div class="">relevant to baryon spectroscopy, nucleon structure, and related aspects of hadron dynamics.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The conference will highlight the physics of baryons and related subjects in particle, nuclear </div><div class="">and astrophysics. The main issues to be discussed are our understanding of the structure </div><div class="">and reactions of baryons from the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, Quantum </div><div class="">Chromodynamics (QCD). In particular, the highly non-perturbative phenomena of quark </div><div class="">confinement, mass generation and spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry will be addressed. <br class=""><br class="">Recent developments of new and forthcoming facilities in the world will also be showcased. </div><div class="">We strongly encourage the participation of young scientists, including students and postdocs. <br class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></span></div></span></span></div><b class=""><font size="4" class="">Main Topics Include:</font></b><div class=""><b class=""><font size="4" class="">-----------------------------</font></b></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><big class="">* <font class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Spectroscopy of Light / Heavy Flavor Hadrons</font></big></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><font class=""> </font>Resonances, Exotic Hadrons</span></div><div class="" style="position: static; z-index: auto;"><span class="" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><big class="">* <font class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Structure of Hadrons</font></big></span></div><div class="" style="position: static; z-index: auto;"><font face="sans-serif" class=""> </font>Form Factors, Structure Functions, Polarizabilities, etc.</div><div class=""><big class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="">* </span><font class="" style="font-family: sans-serif;">Recent Approaches to Non-Perturbative QCD</font></big></div><div class=""><font face="sans-serif" class=""> </font>AdS/CFT Correspondence, Lattice Gauge Theory, Effective Field Theories</div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: sans-serif;">* <font class="">Hadrons at Finite Density and Temperature</font></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><font class=""> </font>The QCD Vacuum, Chiral Symmetry, Hadron Properties, etc. </span></div><div class=""><big class=""><span class="" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span class="">* </span><font class="">Electromagnetic and Weak Interactions</font></span></big></div><div class=""><font face="sans-serif" class=""> </font>Photo- and electro-production of hadrons, P- and CP-violating processes in nucleons and nuclei</div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: sans-serif;">* <font class="">New Facilities and Instrumentation</font></span></div></div></body></html>
