Yukawa's Pion, Low-Energy QCD and Nuclear Chiral Dynamics
arXiv:0704.1992 · doi:10.1143/PTPS.170.161
Abstract
A survey is given of the evolution from Yukawa's early work, via the understanding of the pion as a Nambu-Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry in QCD, to modern developments in the theory of the nucleus based on the chiral effective field theory representing QCD in its low-energy limit.
