We consider nucleon-nucleon interactions from chiral effective field theory applying the N/D method. The case of coupled partial waves is now treated, extending Ref. [1] where the uncoupled case was studied. As a result three N/D…
Using gauge invariant hadronic two- and three- density correlators we extract information on the spatial distributions of quarks in hadrons, and on hadron shape and multipole moments within quenched lattice QCD. Combined with the…
A description of the nucleon and Roper resonance in a quark-diquark approach is presented. We show that two states with the quantum number of the nucleon can appear in the ground state of the spatial configuration, when there are two types…
Recent observations of neutron-star properties, in particular the recent detection of gravitational waves emitted from binary neutron stars, GW 170817, open the way to put strong constraints on nuclear interactions. In this paper, we review…
Current light-cone wave functions for the nucleon are unsatisfactory since they are in conflict with the data of the nucleon's Dirac form factor at large momentum transfer. Therefore, we attempt a determination of a new wave function…
We present the effective range expansions for the 1S_0 and 3S_1 scattering phase shifts, and the relativistic deuteron wave functions that accompany our recent high precision fits (with chi^2/N{data} approx 1) to the 2007 world np data…
In this work, we present a new approximate method for obtaining simple wave functions for the ground state of exotic nuclei with a neutron halo. We model the system as a two-cluster structure, treating the core and halo as inert objects.…
We study the twist-3 transverse momentum dependent distributions of gluons in a nucleon within a spectator model framework. In this model, the nucleon is described as emitting a virtual (time-like) gluon and an on-shell spectator particle,…
Preliminary calculations using the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) employed a scalar linear confining interaction and an additional constant vector potential to compute the mesonic mass spectra. In this work we generalize the confining…
The quark-gluon properties of the nucleon are probed by a host of recent and planned experiments. These involve elastic, deep-inelastic, semi-inclusive deep-inelastic (SIDIS), and deeply-virtual Compton scattering. A light-front description…
An alternate method is described to extract the quark contribution to the spin of the nucleon directly from the first moment of the deuteron structure function, $g^d_1$. It is obtained without recourse to the use of input on the nucleon…
The properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei are studied within the quark mean field (QMF) model by taking the effects of pion and gluon into account at the quark level. The nucleon is described as the combination of three constituent…
We derive the general structure of the hadronic tensor required to describe deep-inelastic scattering from an off-shell nucleon within a covariant formalism. Of the large number of possible off-shell structure functions we find that only…
We explain how the emergent phenomenon of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking ensures that Poincar\'e covariant analyses of the three valence-quark scattering problem in continuum quantum field theory yield a picture of the nucleon as a…
It was found that the isoscalar-scalar and isovector-scalar mesons play significant roles in nuclear matter physics. However, the underlying structures of these resonances are not yet well understood. We construct a three-flavor baryonic…
