We propose a non-perturbative calculation scheme which is based on the semi-classical approximation of QCD and can be used to evaluate quantities of interest in hadronic physics. As a first application, we evaluate the mass of the pion and of the nucleon. Such masses are related to a particular combination of Green functions which, in some limit, is dominated by the contribution of emph{very small-sized} instantons. The size distribution of these pseudo-particles is determined by the t Hooft tunneling amplitude formula and therefore our calculation is free from any model parameters. We prove that instanton forces generate a light pion and a nucleon with realistic mass ($M_n sim 970 MeV$). In connection with sum-rules approaches, we discuss the overlap of instantons with pion and nucleon resonances.

We present our work on reconstructing sparticle masses in purely hadronic decay chains, using the $k_T$ jet-algorithm on Monte Carlo simulated events at LHC energies.
The light quark masses are determined using a new QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) in the pseudoscalar channel. This FESR involves an integration kernel designed to reduce considerably the contribution of the (unmeasured) hadronic resonance spectral functions. The QCD sector of the FESR includes perturbative QCD (PQCD) to five loop order, and the leading non-perturbative terms. In the hadronic sector the dominant contribution is from the pseudoscalar meson pole. Using Contour Improved Perturbation Theory (CIPT) the results for the quark masses at a scale of 2 GeV are $m_u(Q= 2 {GeV}) = 2.9 pm 0.2 {MeV}$, $m_d(Q= 2 {GeV}) = 5.3 pm 0.4 {MeV}$, and $m_s(Q= 2 {GeV}) = 102 pm 8 {MeV}$, for $Lambda = 381 pm 16 {MeV}$, corresponding to $alpha_s(M_tau^2) = 0.344 pm0.009$. In this framework the systematic uncertainty in the quark masses from the unmeasured hadronic resonance spectral function amounts to less than 2 - 3 %. The remaining uncertainties above arise from those in $Lambda$, the unknown six-loop PQCD contribution, and the gluon condensate, which are all potentially subject to improvement.
A critical review is presented of the attempts to estimate the Strong Interactions contributions to the parameter $S$ ($L_{10}$ in the QCD Chiral Version). In particular it is discussed why the estimations done for Technicolor are unreliable. $S$ is calculated for heavy doublets of Techniquarks using the Nonrelativistic Quark Model and keeping $vsimeq 0.25$ TeV fixed. It is found that heavy Techniquarks decouple, so it is possible to obtain values for $S$ in agreement with present experimental data.
A systematic study of hadron masses and widths shows regular oscillations that can be fitted by a simple cosine function. This property can be observed when the difference between adjacent masses of each family is plotted versus the mean mass.
We report calculations of hadronic light-by-light scattering amplitudes via lattice QCD evaluation of Euclidean four-point functions of vector currents. These initial results include only the fully quark-connected contribution. Particular attention is given to the case of forward scattering, which can be related via dispersion relations to the $gamma^* gamma^* to$ hadrons cross section, and thus allows lattice data to be compared with phenomenology. We also present a strategy for computing the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
