Summary
Analogies have been drawn between QCD where quarks build up hadrons, which in turn build up nuclei, and QED where electrons build up atoms, which in turn build up molecules. There has been a lot of talk about creating a quark theory of the nucleus in QCD by analogy with the way electrons build up molecules in QED. However, this seems to me to be a case of trying to run before you can walk, in that in QED the first step has been achieved, namely understanding atoms in terms of their electronic structure, but understanding molecules in QED is only understood in rather simple cases. In QCD the situation is even worse, in that we haven't even achieved the first step, namely in understanding how hadrons are built from quarks. We all believe that quarks are in the hadrons, and that at high momentum transfer we can apply perturbative QCD(pQCD). But to build the hadrons, we need pQCD and also non-perturbative QCD, which, at present, means building models to simulate the effects of the confinement. Insofar as any successful model of the nucleus will have it looking to a very good approximation as if it is made of nucleons, then I believe that first we have to understand the dynamics of quarks building the individual nucleons. Throughout this talk, I wanted to show how low-energy electron beams may help us deepen that understanding, and hopefully lead us towards the correct dynamical picture of the nucleon. 28 refs., 1 fig., 2 tab.
