CIPANP 2006 Low Energy Hadron Physics Summary

Abstract

Recent results in the areas of hypernuclear physics, exotic atoms, photo-and electroproduction of light mesons and baryons, and medium modifications of meson properties were presented at this conference. Facility highlights presentations were given for five laboratories: the ELSA complex at Bonn, the LEPS facility at SPring-8, the CLAS facility at Jefferson Lab, the MAMI complex at Mainz, and the COSY complex at Jülich. These talks collectively showed remarkably active programs at all these laboratories, as well as at BNL, KEK, PSI, and Frascati. No "brand new" results were reported at this conference.
