This proceedings volume collected papers presented at a recent symposium on Chiral Symmetry in Hadrons and Nuclei — the seventh in a series of international s

The nucleon--nucleon interaction is understood in terms of a dynamic model, the sigma model. The anti NN .-->. .pi pi. helicity amplitudes are assumed to be phy

We review how nuclear forces emerge from low-energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD) via chiral effective field theory (EFT). During the past two decades, this appr
