Hadron and Nuclear Physics

The hadron and nuclear theory group investigates broach areas from exotic hadrons and new forms of nuclei with strangeness to hadron-structure studies by high-energy hadron reactions. It is important to understand the nucleon and nuclei in terms of quark-gluon degrees of freedom not only for clarifying perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of QCD but also for developing “quark nuclear physics” in order to understand nuclei from a new fundamental perspective. In addition, we are developing theory activities as the J-PARC Branch of the KEK Theory Center in Tokai to promote J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) projects from the theory side.
