Novel forms of matter, such as states made of gluons (glueballs),
multiquark mesons or baryons and hybrid mesons are predicted by low
energy QCD, for which several candidates have recently been
identified. Searching for such exotic states of matter and studying
their production and decay properties in detail has become a
flourishing field at the experimental facilities now available or
being built - e.g. BESIII in Beijing, BELLE II at SuperKEKB, GlueX
at Jefferson Lab, PANDA at FAIR, J-PARC and in the upgraded LHC
experiments, in particular LHCb. A modern primer in the field is
required so as to both revive and update the teaching of a new
generation of researchers in the field of QCD. These lectures on
hadron spectroscopy are intended for Master and PhD students and
have been originally developed for a course delivered at the Stefan
Meyer Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. They are
phenomenologically oriented and intended as complementary material
for basic courses in particle and nuclear physics. The book
describes the spectra of light and heavy mesons and baryons, and
introduces the fundamental properties based on symmetries. Further,
it derives multiplet structures, mixing angle, decay coupling
constants, magnetic moments of baryons, and predictions for
multiquark states and compares these with suitable experimental
data. Basic methods of calculating decay angular distributions and
determining masses and widths of resonances are also presented. The
appendices provide students and newcomers to the field with the
necessary background information, and include a set of problems and
solutions.
