Recent results from Jefferson Lab on measurement of inclusive double polarization asymmetries in the nucleon resonance region are discussed. Preliminary results on the first moment of the structure function g_1(x,Q^2) for protons, and on…
Evidence is reported for the existence of a parity doublet of Delta resonances with total angular momentum J=3/2 from photoproduction of the p pi^0 eta final state. The two parity partners Delta(1920)P_{33} and Delta(1940)D_{33} make…
Unlike their lighter counterparts, most odd-odd N=Z nuclei with mass A > 40 40 have ground states with isospin T=1, suggesting an increased role for the isovector pairing interaction. A simple SO(5) seniority-like model of this interaction…
New measurements of the spin structure functions of the proton and deuteron g1p(x,Q2) and g1d(x,Q2) in the nucleon resonance region are compared with extrapolations of target-mass-corrected next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD fits to higher…
It is argued that an appearance of the near parity doublets in the upper part of the light baryon spectrum is an evidence for the chiral symmetry restoration in the regime where a typical momentum of quarks is around the chiral symmetry…
A study is carried out of the role of the aligned neutron-proton pair with angular momentum J=9 and isospin T=0 in the low-energy spectroscopy of the $N=Z$ nuclei $^{96}$Cd, $^{94}$Ag, and $^{92}$Pd. Shell-model wave functions resulting…
The resonance $\Delta(1232)$ with spin-parity ${3 \over 2}^+$, which contributes dominantly to the reactions like $\gamma N \to \pi N$ and $NN \to NN\pi$ at intermediate energies, may be expected to be produced in characteristically…
Rotating $N=Z$ nuclei in the mass $A=58-80$ region have been studied within the framework of isovector mean field theory. Available data is well and systematically described in the calculations. The present study supports the presence of…
We use inelastic neutron scattering to study the low-energy spin excitations of 112-type iron pnictide Ca$_{0.82}$La$_{0.18}$Fe$_{0.96}$Ni$_{0.04}$As$_{2}$ with bulk superconductivity below $T_c=22$ K. A two-dimensional spin resonance mode…
The seniority scheme has been shown to be extremely useful for the classification of nuclear states in semi-magic nuclei. The neutron-proton ($np$) correlation breaks the seniority symmetry in a major way. As a result, the corresponding…
We study the three-body decay of the newly observed bottom baryon $\Lambda_b^*(6072)$ by LHCb; $\Lambda_b^*(6072) \to \Lambda_b \pi \pi$. Its mass about 500 MeV above the ground state $\Lambda_b$ and a broad width imply that the state could…
Radiative decay of 21 resonances in the 55Mn(p,g)56Fe reaction was studied in the proton beam energy region Ep = 1.3 - 1.8 MeV. Branching of decay to many low lying bound states up to excitation energy Ex ~ 8 MeV was measured. Exact energy…
QCD string picture of highly excited hadrons very naturally explains parity doubling once the chiral symmetry is restored high in the spectrum. In particular, the spin-orbit and tensor interactions of quarks at the ends of the string,…
Violation of Bell's Inequalities gives experimental evidence for the existence of a spin 1/2 which has two simultaneous axes of spin quantization rather than one. These couple to form a resonance state, called the spin fringe, and this…
We discuss the discrimination of the 125 GeV spin-parity 0^+ Higgs-like boson observed at the LHC, decaying into two photons, H\to\gamma\gamma, against the hypothesis of a minimally coupled J^{P}=2^+ narrow diphoton resonance with the same…
We discuss magnetic moments of the $J=3/2$ baryons based on an earlier model for the baryon magnetic moments, allowing for flavor symmetry breaking in the quark magnetic moments as well as a general quark spin structure. From our earlier…
The parity nonconserving spin rotation of neutrons in the 0.734-eV p-wave resonance of $^{139}La$ was measured with the neutron transmission method. Two optically polarized $^3He$ cells were used before and behind a a 5-cm long $^{139}La$…
We consider the parity doublet structure observed in high hadronic excitations within the instanton model for the QCD vacuum. In the conventional approach this doubling phenomenon is treated as a manifestation of the partial restoration of…
We review the status of a quasi - degenerate doublets in nuclei, called pseudospin doublets, which were discovered about thirty years ago and the origins of which have remained a mystery, until recently. We show that pseudospin doublets…
In the rest frame of a many-body system, used in the calculation of its static and scattering properties, the center of mass of a two-body subsystem is allowed to drift. We show, in a model independent way, that drift corrections to the…
