The Quark Structure of Hadrons

Exploring novel forms of matter, the book delves into exotic states predicted by low energy QCD, including gluons, glueballs, and multiquark mesons. It highlights recent discoveries and the burgeoning experimental research surrounding these states at advanced facilities like BESIII, BELLE II, and LHCb. Aimed at educating a new generation of researchers, it serves as a contemporary primer to reinvigorate and update the understanding of quantum chromodynamics and its implications in particle physics.
