Table of Contents (127k)
Preface (70k)
Part 1.1: Opening Remarks: Experimental Tests of Chiral Symmetry Breaking (311k)

Chiral Dynamics 2006 is the 5th International Workshop which examines the implications and the development of an approximate low-energy solution to the QCD Lagrangian based upon Chiral Symmetry. Advances in theory and experiment are presented in 20 plenary session papers along with more than one-hundred papers, including summaries, from the three working groups.

  • Partially Quenched CHPT Results to Two Loops (J Bijnens)
  • Finite Volume Effects: Lattice Meets CHPT (G Schierholz)
  • Quark Mass Dependence of LECs in the Two-Flavour Sector (M Schmid)
  • Leading Chiral Logarithms from Unitarity, Analyticity and the Roy Equations (A Fuhrer)
