Challenges of hadron physics

understand structure of matter at the femtometer scale↪→ structure of hadronsfor structure of nuclei Christian’s talk

standard-model tests:

determination of standard-model parameters(light-quark masses, ...)

flavor physicshadronic contributions to high-precisionstandard model predictions (g − 2 of muon, ...)

↪→ quest for physics beyond the standard model

Towards model independence

mandatory at least for standard-model tests:high precision, reliable uncertainty estimates(does not hurt to achieve this also for hadron-structure studies)

↪→ model independent approaches preferable (not always possible)

lattice QCD:

needs guidance for pions that are not light or not chiral enough

effective field theories:

2-loop chiral perturbation theory; how light are strange quarks?

dispersion theory:

requires close collaboration experiment-theory
