<b>Few-Body Systems in QCD: From Spectroscopy to Structure </b><br>
</p>
The nonperturbative nature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has
historically left a gap in our<br>
understanding of the connection between the fundamental theory of
the strong interactions and <br>
the rich structure of experimentally observed phenomena. For the
simplest properties of stable hadrons, <br>
this is now circumvented by utilizing lattice QCD (LQCD). In this
talk I discuss a path that will allow us <br>
to access a variety of previously unexplored observables, directly
from the underlying theory. As a proof<br>
of principle, I will present recent results in the light-mesonic
sector that put these ideas to the test. I will<br>
further discuss how this framework will allow us to study a variety
of reactions of interest in the 12GeV <br>
era of JLab and will thus compliment the understanding of QCD being
established experimentally.
