scadron70 workshop on scalar mesons and related topics honoring michael scadrons 70th birthday ist lisbon portugal 11 16 fe
the light scalar mesons have been posing serious problems to both theorists and experimentalists . even nowadays there is no consensus whatsoever on the quark structure of these hadronic resonances some of which are very broad . nevertheless the light scalars are of tremendous importance for a better understanding of qcd and strong interactions with far reaching implications for nuclear physics as well . the scadron70 workshop managed to bring together many of the leading experts in the field with invited talks of spokespersons of practically all major experimental collaborations in particle and hadronic physics besides invited talks given by some renowned theorists . simultaneously the workshop allowed to honor one of the pioneers of scalar mesons viz . prof. michael d. scadron at the occasion of his 70th birthday .
