Book ChapterDOI

Foundations and scope of chiral perturbation theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the arguments according to which the symmetry properties of the strong interaction reveal themselves at low energies, and sketch the method used to work out their implications and finally take up a few specific issues, where new experimental results are of particular interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mass of the Two Lightest Quarks

TL;DR: The problems encountered in the determination of mu and md are discussed in this paper, where the difference md-mu, which measures the breaking of isospin symmetry in the QCD Lagrangian, is still subject to significant uncertainties.

The Masses of the Light Quarks

TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of knowledge concerning m_u, m_d and m_s is reviewed and the results of the chiral perturbation theory for the masses of the Goldstone bosons are discussed.
