The search for hybrid mesons and the detailed study of their spectrum is the primary goal of the GlueX Experiment in Hall D at Jefferson Lab, which promises to provide unique insight into gluonic degrees of freedom in QCD and the nature of confinement. The experiment combines an intense photon beam with linear polarization peaking around 9 GeV incident on a liquid hydrogen target with a...
We review the determination of the low-energy pion-nucleon scattering amplitude using Roy-Steiner equations. In particular, we focus on the phenomenological determination of the pion-nucleon $\sigma$-term, derived in combination with modern precision data on pionic atoms. We will also discuss recent applications to nucleon form factors and the determination of low-energy constants in chiral...
Most of our present understanding of the nucleon structure derives from inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments performed over the past five decades in different kinematic regimes at fixed-target experiments and collider machines. In the recent years, it has been realized that in DIS reactions, single and dihadron semi-inclusive and hard exclusive production, provide a variety of...
