The IX International Conference on Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum - QCHS-IX (AIP Conference Proceedings)

This conference is the ninth in a biennial series dedicated to QCD and strong-interaction dynamics. Plenary talks cover both experiments, including the latest LHC results, and the most recent theoretical developments on hadron spectroscopy, lattice calculations, confinement and deconfinement. Parallel sessions are devoted to: Vacuum structure and confinement, light and heavy quarks, deconfinement, QCD and new Physics as well as nuclear and astroparticle Physics.
