The quark model was formulated in 1964 to classify mesons as bound states made of a
quark–antiquark pair, and baryons as bound states made of three quarks. For a long time all …

Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

Phase transitions in a non-perturbative regime can be studied by ab initio Lattice Field
Theory methods. The status and future research directions for LFT investigations of Quantum …

This review presents an overview of the remarkable progress in the field of heavy-quark
exotic hadrons over the past 15 years. It seeks to be pedagogical rather than exhaustive …

An overwhelming number of theoretical predictions for hadron colliders require parton
distribution functions (PDFs), which are an important ingredient of theory infrastructure for …

This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

Since the discovery of the first charmed meson in 1976, many open-charm and open-bottom
hadrons were observed. In 2003 two narrow charm-strange states $ D_ {s0}^{\ast}(2317) …

Motivated by the success of the flavour physics programme carried out over the last decade
at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we characterize in detail the physics potential of its High …

In this report we review recent progress achieved in the understanding of heavy quarkonium
under extreme conditions from a theory perspective. Its focus lies both on quarkonium …

In the past two decades, a plethora of hadronic states beyond the conventional quark model
of qq ̄ mesons and qqq baryons have been observed experimentally, which motivated …
