The deuteron spectrum in n+p -> d+pi+pi at k_n = 1.88 GeV/c and theta_d = 0 deg is explained by considering a Delta-Delta excitation as the reaction mechanism for the 2pi production. We study the influence of intermediate Delta-Delta and…

We have developed a subtractive renormalization method with which we can evaluate nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering phase shifts produced by the NN potential obtained at leading, next-to-leading, and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in…
Exclusive measurements of the $pp \to pp\pi^0\pi^0$ reaction have been performed at CELSIUS/WASA at energies from threshold up to $T_p$ = 1.3 GeV. Total and differential cross sections have been obtained. Here we concentrate on energies…
The gamma p ---> pi+ pi- p reaction, in combination with data from the pi N ---> pi pi N reaction, allows one to obtain the s- and d-wave amplitudes for the N*(1520) decay into Delta pi with absolute sign with respect to the N*(1520) ---> N…
The role of the low lying nucleon resonances beyond the $\Delta(1232)$ in the reaction $pp\to pp\pi^0$ near threshold is shown to be numerically significant by a calculation, which takes into account the pion re-scattering contribution…
The 2H(p,n) charge exchange reaction at T_p=790 MeV is used to study the Delta(1232)-nucleon interaction in the Delta resonance excitation energy region. For the Delta-N potential, a meson exchange model is adopted where pi, rho, omega, and…
Utilizing the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation, we use a bottom-up approach to construct heavy-baryon Lagrangian terms, without employing a relativistic Lagrangian as the starting point. The couplings obtained this way feature a…

Neutrino induced coherent charged pion production on nuclei, $\overline{\nu}_\mu A\to\mu^\pm\pi^\mp A$, is a rare inelastic interaction in which the four-momentum squared transfered to the nucleus is nearly zero, leaving it intact. We…
A chiral quark model approach is extended to the study of the $\pi N$ scattering at low energies. The process of $\pi^{-}p \to \eta n$ near threshold is investigated. The model is successful in describing the differential cross sections and…
Elastic scattering of pions from finite nuclei is investigated utilizing a contemporary, momentum--space first--order optical potential combined with microscopic estimates of second--order corrections. The calculation of the first--order…

$pp\to pp\pi^0$ and $pp\to pp\eta$ were considered close to threshold. The pion production was found not only to be dominated by impulse approximation (IA) and rescattering contributions, but also strongly by box-diagrams, resonances and…
We consider the problem of multiparticle production at threshold in a $\phi^4$-theory with an $O(N_1$$+$$N_2)$ symmetry softly broken down to $O(N_1)\times O(N_2)$ by nonequal masses. We derive the set of recurrence relations between the…
Positive pion electroproduction from the deuteron near threshold has been considered within an approach based on the unitary transformation method. The gauge independence of the treatment is provided by using an explicitly gauge independent…
