We present an ab initio calculation of the screened self-energy correction for (1s)^2 2p3/2 and (1s)^2 2s states of Li-like ions with nuclear charge numbers in the range Z = 12-100. The evaluation is carried out to all orders in the…

Muons are puzzling physicists since their discovery when they were first thought to be the meson predicted by Yukawa to mediate the strong force. The recent results at Fermilab on the muon g-2 anomaly puts the muonic sector once more under…

Nuclear polarization corrections to the 2P-2S Lamb shift in mu-d atoms are developed in order alpha^5 and are shown to agree with a recent calculation. The nuclear physics in the resulting corrections is then evaluated in zero-range…
Deuteron breakup processes $p+d\to (NN)_{s,t}+N$ are studied in the kinematics of backward elastic pd-scattering at law relative momenta of the NN-pair $k\sim 0-50 MeV/c$ for initial energies $T_0=0.5-2.5 GeV$ in the framework of the known…
The low-energy theorem for the forward Compton scattering is generalized to the case of an arbitrary target spin. The generalization is used to calculate the corresponding contribution to the deuterium hyperfine structure. The…

The current discrepancy of theory and experiment observed recently in muonic hydrogen necessitates a reinvestigation of all corrections to contribute to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen muH, muonic deuterium muD, the muonic 3He ion, as…

Within the constituent quark model, we examine the extent to which the deuteron photo-disintegration at 2-6 GeV can be described by the quark-exchange mechanism. With the parameters constrained by the $np$ scattering, the calculated…
The charge exchange of vector polarised deuterons on a polarised hydrogen target has been studied in a high statistics experiment at the COSY-ANKE facility at a deuteron beam energy of Td = 726 MeV. By selecting two fast protons at low…
We discuss polarization characteristics of the deuteron disintegration near the threshold energy. Due to the small relative energy of the outgoing $np$ pair, the dominant amplitude for this process is a 1+ -> 0^+ transition. Relativistic…
