In this paper, we do three things in the study of deuteron break-up by high energy neutrino beams. (1) We present previously unpublished data on neutrino induced backward protons from deuteron targets; (2) we calculate the contributions…
The break up of the deuteron is studied at high $Q^2$ kinematics, with main motivation to probe the deuteron at small internucleon distances. For this, two main issues are studied: electromagnetic interaction of the virtual photon with the…
Experimental work with solar neutrinos has illuminated the properties of neutrinos and tested models of how the sun produces its energy. Three experiments continue to take data, and at least seven are in various stages of planning or…
We discuss the feasibility of using the detection of electron antineutrinos produced in fission to monitor the time dependence of the plutonium content of nuclear power reactors. If practical such a scheme would allow world-wide, automated…

The deuteron break-up exclusive reaction $p+d \to N(180^{\circ}) + (NN)(0^{\circ})$ is considered in the framework of the one-nucleon-exchange mechanism at the incident proton kinetic energy 0.2--2 GeV and the relative energy of nucleons in…
Recent experimental observation suggests that neutron decay is always accompanied by emission of electron while in 1% of cases proton is not emitted. We develop a scenario kinematically compatible with experimental observation, where…

The two-body break up of the deuteron is studied at high $Q^2$ kinematics, with main motivation to probe the deuteron at small internucleon distances. Such studies are associated with the probing of high momentum component of the deuteron…
New neutrino states \nu_b, sterile under the Standard Model interactions, can be coupled to baryons via the isoscalar vector currents that are much stronger than the Standard Model weak interactions. If some fraction of solar neutrinos…
We use the field theoretical model to perform relativistic calculations of neutrino energy losses caused by the direct Urca processes on nucleons in the degenerate baryon matter. By our analysis, in a free nucleon gas under beta…
Neutrino nonstandard interactions (NSI) were investigated earlier in the solar case and were shown to reduce the tensions between the data and the large mixing angle solution predictions. We extend the previous framework to the supernova…
Model dependence of the reaction rates for the weak breakup of deuterons by low energy neutrinos is studied starting from the cross sections derived from potential models and also from pionless effective field theory. Choosing the spread of…
We treat the old problem of the proton-neutron bound state (the deuteron). Using a new concept of incomplete (partial) annihilation process we derive a formula for the binding energy of the deuteron, which does not contain any new constant.…
Considerable efforts that have been undertaken in the recent years in low energy antineutrino experiments require further systematic investigations in line of reactor antineutrino spectroscopy as a metrological basis of these experiments.…
We describe the recent experiments which claimed an observation of a tetra-neutron signal. Production reactions like transfer, knockout, fragmentation or photodisintegration have been used at very different experiments and facilities to…
The relativistic field theory model of the deuteron suggested by us previously is applied to the calculation of the reaction rate of the low-energy two-proton fusion p + p -> D + e+ + nu. The theoretical prediction of the reaction rate…

Starting from chiral Lagrangians, possessing the SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R local chiral symmetry, we derive weak axial one-boson exchange currents in the leading order in the 1/M expansion (M is the nucleon mass). We apply these currents in…
