The spectrum of hadronic states holds valuable information about the interaction of the strong force. Photoproduction experiments can provide crucial insights due to their ability to produce a wide range of conventional and non-conventional hadrons, such as exotic hybrid mesons with gluonic degrees of freedom.

We present a new method of using lattice QCD to extract the intrinsic soft function and the Collins-Soper kernel for TMDPDFs. This method relies on the computation of Wilson loops involving Wilson lines with complex directional vectors. In this talk, progress in numerical implementation of this approach will also be discussed.

The nontrivial quark structure of light scalar mesons f0(500), f0(980) and a0(980) remains controversial for many years. In passed years, BESIII has collected 8.0 and 7.33 fb^-1 of e+e- collision data samples at 3.773 and 4.178-4.226 GeV, respectively. In this talk, we will review all the studies about light scalar mesons via semileptonic D decays at BESIII. These studies includes the decays...

The origin of the EMC effect is one of the major unsolved problems in nuclear physics. Recent studies suggest that the EMC and Short Range Correlation (SRC) are correlated, and quantitative relations are obtained.

The formalism of colour-Lorentz forces offers a novel approach to understanding the mechanisms that bind quarks into hadrons. We present a lattice QCD calculation of the transverse spatial distribution of the colour-Lorentz force acting on a struck quark in a proton.

Owing to the color confinement, the phenomena of strong interaction physics can be described either in terms of fundamental quarks and gluons of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) or as mesons and baryons and the nuclear force between them. Mesons and baryons themselves are confined dynamic systems of quarks and gluons. Understanding fully the relationship between this dual representation of...

Recent lattice QCD results for the low-lying positive parity $\Delta$ spectrum indicate that the $2s$ excitation of the ground state $\Delta(1232)$ lies at ~2.15 GeV. This sits significantly above the experimentally measured mass of the first positive parity excitation, the $\Delta(1600)$. Using Hamiltonian Effective Field Theory (HEFT), the $1s$ and $2s$ states are represented by...

I will discuss a lattice QCD calculation of the nucleon electric polarizabilities at the physical pion mass.

Pseudoscalar mesons are the simplest quark-antiquark bound states. Understanding their internal structure is at least as important in comprehending the working of quantum chromodynamics as hydrogen atom was for understanding quantum electrodynamics.

Computing the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of hadrons from lattice QCD poses well known challenges due to the theory being formulated on discrete Euclidean spacetime. For example, power divergent mixing due to the reduced symmetry of the lattice theory precludes obtaining Mellin moments of PDFs starting at <x^4> or higher, and requires the use of boosted states with poor...

A unified set of predictions for pion and kaon elastic electromagnetic and gravitational form factors is obtained using a symmetry-preserving truncation of each relevant quantum field equation. A key part of the study is a description of salient aspects of the dressed graviton + quark vertices.

The electromagnetic structure of hadrons can be determined by evaluating the scattering of light off the system, provided by the Compton amplitude. Such an evaluation is infeasible mathematically at low energies due to the non-perturbative nature of QCD. Lattice QCD provides a way to numerically determine these structures using a path-integral approach. To produce results in a feasible amount...

The high-precision study of multi-nucleon matrix elements via lattice QCD requires numerical resources that increase dramatically with the number of nucleons, due to signal-to-noise degradation and a factorial number of Wick contraction terms.

Chiral trajectories of dynamically generated resonances are connected to the SU(3) breaking pattern and their nature.

The color/quark deconfinement is one of the remarkable features of QCD phase transitions, with the observation of (strongly coupled) quark-gluon plasma in the heavy-ion collision experiments.

The rare radiative $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays ($\ell=e,\mu$) provide experimental access to the $K^+\to\pi^+\gamma^*$ transition. The relevant form factor is conventionally written in terms of two hadronic parameters, $a_+$ and $b_+$, which are being measured by NA62 in both electron and muon channels. Comparing the two channels allows for a stringent test of lepton-flavor universality....

A precision determination of the pion-nucleon sigma term requires the consideration of isospin-breaking corrections, given that such effects are enhanced due to the chiral suppression of the isoscalar pion-nucleon amplitude.

The dominant contribution to the theoretical uncertainty in the extracted weak parameters of the Standard Model comes from the hadronic uncertainties in the electroweak box diagrams, i.e. $\gamma-W^\pm/Z$ exchange diagrams.
