Different approaches to describe Compton scattering and the polarizability of the nucleon have been discussed up to now. We show that the most appropriate ones are provided by non-subtracted dispersion theories of the fixed-$t$ and…
We present an accurate nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential based upon chiral effective Lagrangians. The model includes one- and two-pion exchange contributions up to chiral order three and contact terms (which represent the short range force) up…
The deuteron form factors are calculated in the framework of the relativistic nucleon-meson dynamics. The relativistic effects change considerably the S- and D-waves of the deuteron, result in the dominating extra component in the deuteron…
The beam-normal single-spin asymmetry, $B_n$, exists in the scattering of high energy electrons, polarized transverse to their direction of motion, from nuclear targets. To first order, this asymmetry is caused by the interference of the…
We investigate the variation with light quark mass of the mass of the nucleon as well as the masses of the mesons commonly used in a one-boson-exchange model of the nucleon-nucleon force. Care is taken to evaluate the meson mass shifts at…
A relativistic Hartree-Fock Lagrangian including a chiral potential and nucleon polarisation is investigated in hopes of providing a better description of dense nuclear matter. We fully consider the contribution of the exchange Fock term to…

We analyze the renormalization of the nucleon--nucleon interaction at low energies in coordinate space for both one and two pion exchange chiral potentials. The singularity structure of the long range potential and the requirement of…
In this sketch, some recent developments in Compton scattering off the deuteron are reviewed. The strong energy-dependence of the scalar magnetic dipole polarisability \beta_M1 turns out to be crucial to understand the data from Saskatoon…
Motivated by the success of models based on chiral symmetry in NN interactions we investigate self-interacting scalar, pseudoscalar and vector meson fields and their impact for NN forces. We parametrize the corresponding nonlinear field…
The sensitivity of the deuteron and of $pp$ scattering to the $\pi NN$ and $\rho NN$ coupling constants is investigated systematically. We find that the deuteron can be described about equally well with either {\it large $\pi$ and $\rho$}…
The deuteron magnetic moment is calculated using two model wave functions obtained from 2007 high precision fits to $np$ scattering data. Included in the calculation are a new class of isoscalar $np$ interaction currents which are…
One of the more interesting developments from recent collider experiments is the finding that hadronic total cross sections as well as elastic cross s ections can be described by the exchange of a "soft Pomeron" pole in the near-forward…

Current status of the two-boson exchange contributions to elastic electron-proton scattering, both for parity conserving and parity-violating, is briefly reviewed. How the discrepancy in the extraction of elastic nucleon form factors…
Meson exchange contributions have been suggested as one class of medium effects which might explain the continuing discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for K+-nucleus scattering. These exchange effects are…
