The distribution of quarks within protons and neutrons, their
interactions, and how they define the properties of protons,
neutrons and nuclei, are subjects of major research worldwide.
Written by leading experts in the field, both theoretical and
experimental, this book provides an authoritative overview on the
subject. The emphasis throughout the book is on phenomenology, and
the book concentrates on describing the main features of the
experimental data and the theoretical ideas used in their
interpretation. Sections on chiral perturbation theory, crucial in
understanding soft pions and soft photons near threshold, and
duality ideas, equally crucial at intermediate energies, are
included. This is an essential reference for graduate students and
researchers in the field of particle physics and electromagnetic
interactions.
