This contribution presents recent ZEUS results on proton structure functions at HERA. The inclusive phi(1020)-meson cross section was measured, and it was used to determine the s-quark content of the proton. The structure function F_2 was…
The measurement by Pohl et al. [1] of the 2S_1/2^F=1 to 2P_3/2^F=2 transition in muonic hydrogen and the subsequent analysis has led to a conclusion that the rms charge radius of the proton differs from the accepted (CODATA [2]) value by…

A simple formula is derived that describes how the Coulomb interaction affects the proton radius in nuclei. It determines the difference between neutron and proton radii in nuclei with N approx Z. It also provides an estimate for the…
I review attempts made to determine the properties of neutron stars. I focus on constraints on the maximum mass that a neutron star can have, and on attempts to measure neutron-star radii. So far, there appears to be only one neutron star…

We calculate the spin dependent structure functions g_{1}(x) and g_{2}(x) of the proton and neutron. Our calculation uses the meson cloud model of nucleon structure, which has previously given a good description of the HERMES data on…
