We investigate the nucleon self energy through the sixth chiral order in the covariant $SU(2)$ chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT) in the single baryon sector. The validity of the extended on-mass-shell (EOMS) renormalization scheme is…
The electromagnetic form factors are the most fundamental quantities to describe the internal structure of the nucleon and are related to the charge radii of the baryons. We have calculated the charge radii of octet baryons in the framework…

We develop an extension of chiral perturbation theory to the $\Delta$(1232)-resonance energy region and apply it to investigate the pion electroproduction off the nucleon ($e^- N \to e^- N\pi$). We present a complete calculation of this…
In order to guide the extrapolation of the mass of the rho meson calculated in lattice QCD with dynamical fermions, we study the contributions to its self-energy which vary most rapidly as the quark mass approaches zero; from the processes…

We study lattice QCD determinations of the pion mass and decay constant by means of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). The lattice data are obtained from large scale simulations with N_f=2 flavours of twisted mass fermions at maximal twist.…
One of the systematic errors in some of the current lattice computations of the HVP contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $g-2$ is that associated with the extrapolation to the physical pion mass. We investigate this…
In the low-energy region far below the chiral symmetry breaking scale (which is of the order of 1 GeV) chiral perturbation theory provides a model-independent approach for quantitative description of nuclear processes. In the two- and…
