We performed an experimental search for the bound state singlet deuteron predicted in some microscopic calculations. The predicted energy of this metastable level is in vicinity of the deuteron disintegration threshold. This state should…
We analyze the deuteron bound state through the One Pion Exchange Potential. We pay attention to the short distance peculiar singularity structure of the bound state wave functions in coordinate space and the elimination of short distance…
The existence of the dineutron was predicted over 70 years ago. At present, a number of experimental works confirm this assumption. By virtue of the principle of isotopic invariance, a singlet deuteron must also exist. The possibility of…
Possibilities of observing a signal of an $\eta ^{\prime} n$ bound state are investigated by considering photoproductions of the $\eta$ and $\eta ^{\prime}$ mesons on a deuteron target with forward proton emission. For this purpose, we take…
The hyperfine-state population of hydrogen after the bound-beta decay of the neutron directly yields the neutrino left-handedness or a possible right-handed admixture and possible small scalar and tensor contributions to the weak force.…
The singlet capture rate $\Lambda_S$ for the semileptonic weak process $\mu+p \to n+\nu_\mu$ has been measured in the MuCap experiment. The novel experimental technique is based on stopping muons in an active target, consisting of a time…
Different extensions of the standard model of particle physics, such as braneworld or mirror matter models, predict the existence of a neutron sterile state, possibly as a dark matter candidate. This Letter reports a new experimental…
The boundary of the neutron $i_{13/2}$ single-particle energy is investigated with exact shell-model calculations, where random two-body interactions are adopted to overcome the bias from effective interactions. Excitation energies of…
In addition to the common 3-body decay of the neutron $n\rightarrow p e^-\overline{\nu_e}$ there should exist an effective 2-body subset with the electron and proton forming a Hydrogen bound state with well defined total momentum, total…
There are theoretical frameworks, such as the large extra dimension models, which predict the strengthening of the gravitational field in short distances. Here we obtain new empiric constraints for deviations of standard gravity in the…
The d(e,e'p) cross section at a momentum transfer of 3.5 (GeV/c)^2 was measured over a kinematical range that made it possible to study this reaction for a set of fixed missing momenta as a function of the neutron recoil angle theta_nq and…
I derive the most general quantization condition for energy eigenvalues of two interacting baryons in a finite cubic volume when arbitrary twisted boundary conditions are imposed on their finite-volume wavefunctions. These quantization…
Differential cross sections of the reaction $p(d,^3{\rm He})\gamma$ have been measured at deuteron laboratory energies of 110, 133 and 180 MeV. The data were obtained with a coincidence setup measuring both the outgoing $^3$He and the…
The radiative decays of hyperons are studied in the framework of the bound state soliton model. Detailed predictions for the total decay widths and the E2/M1 ratios corresponding to decuplet--to--octet electromagnetic transitions are…
A high-statistics experiment on a deuterium target was performed using a real photon beam with energies up to 3.6 GeV at the CLAS detector of Jefferson Lab. The reaction reported here is for $\gamma d \to p K^- K^+ n$ where the neutron was…
The $\eta$ meson can be bound to atomic nuclei. Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions $dp\to{^3\text{He}}\eta$ and $dd\to{^4\text{He}}\eta$. For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons…

Cross sections for quasi-free Compton scattering from the deuteron were measured for incident energies of 236--260 MeV at the laboratory angle -135 degrees. The recoil nucleons were detected in a liquid-scintillator array situated at 20…
We present a comprehensive study of spectroscopic radius measurements of twelve neutron stars obtained during thermonuclear bursts or in quiescence. We incorporate, for the first time, a large number of systematic uncertainties in the…
Bound-bound transitions can occur when localized atomic orbitals are thermally depleted, allowing excitations that would otherwise be forbidden at zero temperature. We predict signatures of bound-bound transitions in x-ray Thomson…
