Hadronic Physics : Joint Meeting Heidelberg-liege-paris-wroclas - Hlpw 2008, Aip Conference Proceedings / High Energy Physics

This is the ninth of a series of meetings focused on some current problems in hadron physics. These proceedings report on some recent developments in baryon spectroscopy, in the light cone approach, in QCD at large temperature and/or density, in diffractive physics and heavy-ion collisions. They also include some discussions about fundamental questions such as symmetry breaking, compact stars and dark matter.
