Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Strong Interaction in the non-perturbative regime ( Low Energy QCD)
Chiral Symmetry Breaking (CSB) and possible Restauration (CSR)
Hadron properties in the nuclear medium and link to CSR
Meson-Nucleon and Meson-Nucleus Interaction
Hyperon-Nucleon interaction
Scattering experiments, pionic and kaonic atoms
Hadronic Resonances and Exotic bound state in low energy QCD
dense and strange matter
Link to dense and cold system as Neutron Stars
Learning Outcome
Modern experiments at different accelerator facilities to study low energy QCD processes involving hadrons and their interaction with nuclear matter under different temperature and density conditions will be presented. A complete overview of the observables and the techniques to extract the latter from experiments with accelerated beam up to few GeV will be provided.
The focus will be on Hadron properties within nuclear matter and in particular we will learn how this can be connected to a possible observation of chiral symmetry restauration. Another rather hot topic in our field is the tests with terrestrial experiments of diferent hypotheses for the content of neutron stars. The state of the art of this kind of research will be discussed as well.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
In a written exam of 60 minutes the learning outcome is tested using comprehension questions and sample problems.
In accordance with §12 (8) APSO the exam can be done as an oral exam. In this case the time duration is 25 minutes.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
