It is shown that meson radii can be extracted from diffractive scattering experiments of the type: $m+p\to m + X$, where p stands for the target proton, and m for the incident charged meson $\pi^+$, $\pi^-$, $K^+$, or $K^-$. The basis of…
In conventional metals, electronic transport in a magnetic field is characterized by the motion of electrons along orbits on the Fermi surface, which usually causes an increase in the resistivity through averaging over velocities. Here we…
