Emphasis is placed on experimental tests which have generally demonstrated a strong confirmation of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory, a low energy effective field theory of QCD. Special attention is paid to a few cases where discrepancies exist, requiring further work. Some desirable future tests are also recommended.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-10-21T21:25:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chiral symmetry breaking", "experimental tests", "chiral dynamics", "opening remarks", "low energy effective field theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 756870, "adsabs": "2007arXiv0707.4250B" } } }
