Abstract

The current moment in the field of hadron physics can be considered as the period of new discoveries. There are several large experimental collaborations, such as BESIII (China), BELLE (Japan), LHCb (Switzerland), etc., which are focusing enormous resources on the field of hadron physics. Additionally, several new laboratories are being constructed, with the motivation to carry out studies exclusively in the area of hadron physics. As a result, a lot of new and surprising information is being released continuously. In such a situation, we may be able to determine a better understanding of the working of strong interactions in the non-perturbative regime of the QCD. But to interpret a large volume of experimental data we need to carry out efficient and robust theoretical studies in parallel. The project presented here precisely aims at making joint efforts, involving researchers from Brazil and South Korea, in the direction of theoretical investigation of the dynamics in hadronic systems and perform calculations of observables for the hadronic processes about to be studied or recently studied at the international laboratories. The two groups have extensive experience in the area and have recently worked together. (AU)
