THE QUARK STRUCTURE OF HADRONS - CLAUDE AMSLER ...

Novel forms of matter  such as states made of gluons (glueballs)  multiquark mesons or baryons
and hybrid mesons are predicted by low energy QCD  for which several candidates have recently
been identified. Searching for such exotic states of matter and studying their production and
decay properties in detail has become a flourishing field at the experimental facilities now
available or being built - e.g. BESIII in Beijing  BELLE II at SuperKEKB  GlueX at Jefferson
Lab  PANDA at FAIR  J-PARC and in the upgraded LHC experiments  in particular LHCb. A modern
primer in the field is required so as to both revive and update the teaching of a new
generation of researchers in the field of QCD. These lectures on hadron spectroscopy are
intended for Master and PhD students and have been originally developed for a course delivered
at the Stefan Meyer Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. They are phenomenologically
oriented and intended as complementary material for basic courses in particle and nuclear
physics. The book describes the spectra of light and heavy mesons and baryons  and introduces
the fundamental properties based on symmetries. Further  it derives multiplet structures 
mixing angle  decay coupling constants  magnetic moments of baryons  and predictions for
multiquark states and compares these with suitable experimental data. Basic methods of
calculating decay angular distributions and determining masses and widths of resonances are
also presented. The appendices provide students and newcomers to the field with the necessary
background information  and include a set of problems and solutions.
