ELFE Physics
This is an introductory review of central topics in hadron physics that are addressed by high intensity, continuous electron beam facilities in the multi-GeV range. Exclusive processes are a crucial tool for increasing our knowledge of hadron wave functions beyond what can be learned from studies of hard inclusive processes. Data shows precocious scaling, suggesting a simple underlying picture. Important conceptual advances in the application of PQCD is being made.

Sister trajectories in the dual resonance model
Abstract The existence of a Regge tranjectory γ = α /3 − 1 in the eight-point amplitude of the Dual Resonance Model set of demonstrated. It is suggested that the three presently known trajectories α, β and γ are part of an infinite set of “sister” trajectories, the expected properties of which are discussed.

Mesons and baryons from QCD
Abstract We study a gauge covariant method for quark bound states in 3 + 1 dimensions, based on a stationary phase approximation of the gluon path integral. Assuming thet lim | x |→∞ F μν a ( x ) F a μν ( x ) ≠ 0 we find meson (q q ) and baryon (qqq) states bound by a Coulomb + linear potential. The quark wave function is confined, as in the bag model. The high-spin states lie on asymptotically linear Regge trajectories of universal slope.

Duality in Semi-Exclusive Processes
Semi-exclusive processes like \gamma p \to \pi^+ Y are closely analogous to DIS, ep \to eX, in the limit where the momentum transfer |t| to the pion and the mass of the inclusive system Y are large but still much smaller than the total CM energy. We apply Bloom-Gilman duality to this semi-exclusive process. The energy dependence of the \gamma p \to \pi^+ n cross section given by semi-local duality agrees with data for moderate values of |t|, but its normalization is underestimated by about two orders of magnitude. This indicates that rather high momentum transfers are required for the validity of PQCD in the hard subprocess \gamma u \to \pi^+ d. In the case of Compton scattering \gamma p \to \gamma p the analogous discrepancy is about one order of magnitude. In electroproduction the virtuality of the incoming photon can be used to directly measure the hardness of the subprocess.

Test of duality in baryon--antibaryon amplitudes from Reggeon--particle scattering
Abstract By studying the backward production data for meson resonances we investigate the dual properties of baryon-Reggeised antibaryon elastic scattering. We find strong support for the duality prediction that meson resonances in the baryon antibaryon channel should be dual to an exotic trajectory.

NEW DUALITY CONSTRAINTS ON MESON AMPLITUDES

QCD factorization at fixed Q^2(1-x)
Amplitudes of hard {\it exclusive} processes such as \gamma^*(Q^2) N \to \gamma Y, where Y=N (DVCS) or any other state with a limited mass (M_Y^2 << Q^2), factorize into a hard subprocess amplitude and a target (transition) GPD. The corresponding {\it inclusive} cross section, summed over all states Y of a given (limited) mass, is then given by the discontinuity of a forward multiparton distribution. An application to the Drell-Yan process \pi^+ N \to \gamma^*(x_F,Q^2)+Y allows to explain the observed longitudinal polarization of the virtual photon at high x_F.

Inclusive Perspectives
I discuss the relation between inclusive and exclusive dynamics suggested by Bloom-Gilman duality. Duality implies the simultaneous applicability of two distinct limits, the standard DIS limit of hard inclusive processes taken at fixed xB and a limit where the hadronic mass is held fixed. I review experimental evidence for the relevance of the fixed mass limit in inclusive processes at high xF. Semi-local duality suggests that inclusive and exclusive processes occur on the same target Fock states. DIS scaling then implies that the Fock states contributing to hard exclusive processes have a large transverse size, i.e., that the hard scattering occurs off a single parton which carries a large fraction of the hadron momentum.

Filling Perturbative Ground States
I discuss a degree of freedom in formulating perturbation theory that is often neglected: the in- and out-states need not be empty. The inclusion of (free) particles in the asymptotic states modifies the on-shell prescription of the free propagator. This affects loop contributions -- but the modified expansion is {\it a priori} as justified as the standard one with Feynman prescription. 
It is possible to dress the quark propagator to all orders with zero-momentum gluons from the perturbative ground state. The dressed quark has no pole and thus cannot appear as an external particle in the S-matrix. Chiral symmetry may be spontaneously broken, but Lorentz and gauge symmetry is exact. Adding loop corrections to this ``dressed tree approximation'' gives a formally exact PQCD expansion.

Comments on the Relativity of Shape
In this talk I address three topics related to the shape of hadrons:1. The Lorentz contraction of bound states. Few dedicated studies of this exist — I describe a recent calculation for ordinary atoms (positronium).2. Does the A‐dependence of nuclear structure functions indicate a change of proton shape in the nuclear environment? (My short answer is no.)3. The size of Fock states contributing to processes involving large momentum transfers. End‐point configurations can be transversally extended and yet sufficiently short‐lived to contribute coherently to hard scattering.

SUMMARY TALK ON QUARK-HADRON DUALITY
I ascribe the origin of Bloom-Gilman duality in DIS to a separation of scales between the hard subprocess and soft resonance formation. The success of duality indicates that the subprocesses of exclusive form factors are the same as in DIS. The observed dominance of the longitudinal structure function at large x in \pi N \to \mu^+\mu^- X can explain why local duality works for DIS with a pion target. The failure of duality in semi-exclusive processes indicates that high momentum transfer t is not sufficient to make the corresponding subprocesses compact.
