Theoretical Chiral Dynamics

Abstract

The reasons why a considerable effort is made to resolve the low energy structure of QCD are discussed. The effective field theory used for this purpose is illustrated with the recent progress made in the predictions for pipi scattering and in understanding the low energy properties of the theory in the large Nc limit.
