The strong interactions are charge independent. If we limit ourselves to the strong interactions, we have the isospin $T$ as a good quantum number. Here we consider the lack of level repulsion of states of different isospin and how this…

The isospin breaking in the nucleon isovector axial charge, $g_A^3$, are calculated within the external field QCD sum-rule approach. The isospin violations arising from the difference in up and down current quark masses and in up and down…
It is demonstrated that there is a dynamic isospin breaking effect in the near threshold $\gamma^{*} N\to \pi N$ reaction due to the mass difference of the up and down quarks, which also causes isospin breaking in the $\pi N$ system. The…
We explore a possible phase where chiral $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ symmetry is spontaneously broken while its center $Z_2$ symmetry remains unbroken and its consequence on thermal quantities. In this phase, chiral symmetry breaking is driven…
Recent experimental data have revealed large mirror energy differences (MED) between high-spin states in the mirror nuclei 67Se and 67As, the heaviest pair where MED have been determined so far. The MED are generally attributed to the…
The effect of isospin breaking pion s-wave rescattering is included in elastic NN scattering at low energies using effective field theory. Although this mechanism gave a large contribution to charge symmetry breaking in np --> d pi0, the…
