Topics

• Nucleon form factors and low-energy hadron structure (new high precision electron scattering results as contrasted with a new proton radius extraction from Lamb shift measurements in muonic hydrogen)
• 3-dimensional partonic structure of the nucleon (new experiments and future prospects in parton and generalized parton distributions, transverse momentum distributions)
• Precision electroweak physics with searches for dark photons (new weak charge measurement of the proton, beyond standard model physics, first results for dark photon searches at MAMI and JLab)
• Meson structure (new meson transition FF results (pi0, eta, eta') from BABAR and their interpretation, hadronic corrections to muon's (g-2))
• Baryon and light-meson spectroscopy (first complete polarization experiments)
• Nuclear effects and few-body physics (new vistas in nuclear physics from a QCD perspective and in few-body chiral effective field theories)
