We describe a model for pion production off nucleons and coherent pions from nuclei induced by neutrinos in the 1 GeV energy regime. Besides the dominant Delta pole contribution, it takes into account the effect of background terms required…
The inclusive A(gamma,pi+ pi-)X reaction is studied theoretically. A sizeable enhancement of the cross section is found, in comparison with the scaling of the deuteron cross section (sigma_deuteron * A/2). This enhancement is due to the…
We review the description of the lowest-energy nucleon excitation -- the $\Delta$(1232)-resonance. Much of the recent experimental effort has been focused on the precision measurements of the nucleon-to-$\Delta$ transition by means of…
In the scattering of positive pions by nuclei the double-charge-exchange (DCX) reaction creates the possibility of formation of pionic atom states in the vicinity of the threshold of this reaction. These quasi stationary states can manifest…
We revisit the question of the contributions of two-photon exchange with $\Delta(1232)$ excitation to the electron-proton scattering in a hadronic model. Three improvements over the previous calculations are made, namely, correct vertex…
We undertake a simultaneous partial wave analysis to proton-proton and neutron-proton scattering data below pion production threshold up to LAB energies of 350MeV. We represent the interaction as a sum of delta-shells in configuration space…
Previous work on neutrino emission from proto-neutron stars which employed full solutions of the Boltzmann equation showed that the average energies of emitted electron neutrinos and antineutrinos are closer to one another than predicted by…
The deuteron spectrum in n+p -> d+pi+pi at k_n = 1.88 GeV/c and theta_d = 0 deg is explained by considering a Delta-Delta excitation as the reaction mechanism for the 2pi production. We study the influence of intermediate Delta-Delta and…
We develop a relativistic covariant and unitary description of the pion-nucleon interaction in a hadron-exchange model. The model is based on the solution of a dimensionally reduced (quasipotential) Bethe-Salpeter equation for the…
The energy transfer spectra have been calculated for the coherent $\eta$ meson production in the proton nucleus reaction. The elementary reaction occurring in the nucleus is considered as $ pN \to pN^*(1535) $; $ N^*(1535) \to N\eta $. The…
Core-collapse supernovae may depend sensitively on charged current neutrino interactions in warm, low density neutron rich matter. A proton in neutron rich matter is more tightly bound than is a neutron. This energy shift \Delta U increases…
We show that quantum entanglement between causally separated regions of a nucleon in antineutrino-nucleon scattering manifests itself as a thermal component in the resulting pion momentum distribution. For antineutrino scattering coherently…
A model is developed for the hadronic and electromagnetic interaction in the two-nucleon system above pion threshold in the framework of meson, nucleon and $\Delta$ degrees of freedom. It is based on time-ordered perturbation theory and…
Effects of coherence in neutrino-production of pions off nuclei are studied employing the color dipole representation and path integral technique. If the nucleus remains intact, the process is controlled by the interplay of two length…
Nuclear Compton scattering in the $\Delta$-resonance region is reconsidered within the framework of the $\Delta$-hole model. The different role of the resonant and non-resonant contributions to the transition amplitudes is discussed and…
We present a model for neutrino-nucleus scattering in the energy region relevant for present and forthcoming neutrino-oscillation experiments. The model is based on the RPA treatment of the nuclear responses in the quasi-elastic and…
We investigate the modification of the pion-cloud in the nuclear medium and its effect on the nuclear Drell-Yan process. The pion's in-medium self-energy is calculated in a self-consistent delta-hole model, with particle-hole contribution…

High-energy hadronic reactions with proton-to-neutron transitions (and vice versa) with small momentum transfer allow to study the properties of nearly on-shell pions, which cannot be accessed otherwise. We overview the recent results for…
