Description
The pion occupies a special place in nuclear physics and encapsulates the myriad complexities of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). For example, the pion is both a bound-state of a dressed-quark and a dressed-antiquark in quantum field theory and the Goldstone mode associated with dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) in QCD. Using QCDs Dyson-Schwinger equations we will investigate properties of the pion and discuss how they are influenced by DCSB in QCD.
