A partial-wave decomposition of the Faddeev amplitude of a Poincare-invariant three-fermion bound state is presented. Some implications for the properties of the nucleon as relativistic three-quark bound state are discussed. E.g. it is…
The meson-nucleon dynamics that generates the hard core of the RuhrPot two-nucleon interaction is shown to vanish in the irreducible 3N force. This result indicates a small 3N force dominated by conventional light meson-exchange dynamics…

Semileptonic decays of heavy baryons consisting of one heavy (Q=b,c) and two light (q=u,d,s) quarks are considered in the heavy-quark--light-diquark approximation. The relativistic quasipotential equation is used for obtaining masses and…
We point out that a new contribution to B decays to three pions is relevant in explaining recent data from the CLEO and BABAR collaborations, in particular the results on quasi-two-body decays via a rho meson. We also discuss the relevance…
We consider the relationship between P-wave pi-N scattering and the strength of the P-wave two-pion-exchange three-nucleon interaction (TPE3NI). We explain why effective theories that do not contain the delta resonance as an explicit degree…
Hadron wave functions and form factors can be extracted using four-point correlators. Stochastic techniques are used to estimate the all to all propagators, which are required for the exact calculation of four-point functions. We apply the…
Previously we calculated the binding energies of the triton and hypertriton, using an SU_6 quark-model interaction derived from a resonating-group method of two baryon clusters. In contrast to the previous calculations employing the…
Nucleon-nucleon scattering in spin-triplet channels is analysed within an effective field theory where one-pion exchange is treated nonperturbatively. Justifying this requires the identification of an additional low-energy scale in the…

The strong coupling of rho meson to the nucleon produces $s$ and $p$ wave rho meson nucleon $(\rho N)$ resonances. In a nucleus, the $\rho N$ resonance-hole polarization generates the optical potential or self-energy for the rho meson. The…
