This volume contains the proceedings for
the Yukawa International Seminar 2006 (YKIS2006),
``New Frontiers in QCD —Exotic Hadrons and Hadronic Matter—''
at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University,
from November 20 to December 8, 2006.
Recently there are remarkable developments in both theories and
experiements of non-perturbative QCD. In this seminar, we made
extensive discussions on the subjects of non-perturbative QCD from
both theoretical and experimental aspects focusing on the following
major three themes:
(1) exotic hadrons, (2) condensed matter physics of dense and high
temperature QCD, (3) chiral symmetry in nuclear media and finite nuclei.
As a powerful tool for analyzing these problems, discussions on
recent developments in lattice QCD and the novel achievements of the
AdS/CFT were also included.
Detailed topics which are covered in this volume include
(i) Multiquark hadrons, H-dibaryons, Lambda(1405) and scalar mesons,
(ii) Strongly coupled quark gluon plasma, color superconductivity,
properties of quark matter at
high density and temperature, and precritical phenomena of
QCD condensed matter physics,
(iii) Chiral symmetry restoration in nuclear media, chiral effective
theories, change of hadron
properties, search for hadronic atoms and their properties,
(iv) Lattice QCD, AdF/CFT, holographic QCD and related subjects for
non-pertabative methods.
This volume contains reports from the leaders of major experimental
groups and from distinguished theorists in the above listed fields.
Not only the recent topics of developments but also general
introductions to the background and importance of the fields are also
discussed. Because of them, we believe that this volume is one of
the best compilations of the present days' activities.
We wish that it will become an ideal reference not only for young
generations who wish to start their career in this field, but also
for the current active researchers.
