Description

This is a lecture note on the chiral symmetry and its spontaneous breaking for master course students. The definition of the chiral symmetry; hadron mass spectrum and the concept of the spontaneous symmetry breaking are introduced. I give also basic theorems for the symmetry. Finally I show the empirical approach using the effective model. (author)
