A dispersive representation based on unitarity and analyticity is used to study the low energy $\gamma N \to \pi N\ \text{and}\ \gamma^* N \to \pi N$ partial wave amplitudes. Final state interactions of the $\pi N$ system are critical to…

Diffusion of electrons in a two-dimensional system with time-dependent random potentials is investigated numerically. In the absence of spin-orbit scattering, the conductivity shows universal weak localization correction. In the presence of…
We show the results for the scattering poles associated to the rho, f0, a0, K*, sigma and kappa resonances in meson-meson scattering. Our amplitudes are obtained from the complete one-loop meson-meson scattering amplitudes from Chiral…
We study elastic N$\alpha $ scattering and produce a quantitative correlation between the range of the effective potential and the energy of the system. This allows the identification of the waves and energies for which the scattering may…

We analyze scattering in a system of two (distinguishable) particles moving on the half-line $\overline{\rz}_+$ under the influence of singular two-particle interactions. Most importantly, due to the spatial localization of the interactions…

An investigation of the s-wave channels in meson-meson scattering is performed within a U(3) chiral unitary approach. Our calculations are based on a chiral effective Lagrangian which includes the eta' as an explicit degree of freedom and…
A set of well known once subtracted dispersion relations with imposed crossing symmetry condition is used to modify unitary multichannel $S$ ($\pi\pi$, $K \bar K$, and $\eta\eta$) and $P$ ($\pi\pi$, $\rho 2\pi$, and $\rho\sigma$) wave…
This study concerns the two-body scattering of particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential. A convenient ansatz allows for the separation of center-of-mass and relative motion, leading to a discrete Schr\"odinger equation in the…
To study the location of poles for the acoustic scattering matrix for two strictly convex obstacles with smooth boundaries, one uses an approximation of the quantized billiard operator $M$ along the trapped ray between the two obstacles.…
We discuss a novel effective-field-theory-based approach for extracting two-body scattering information from finite volume energies, serving as an alternative to L\"uscher's method. By explicitly incorporating one-pion exchange, we overcome…
X-ray polarimetric measurements are based on studying the distribution of the directions of scattered photons or photoelectrons and on the search of a sinusoidal modulation with a period of {\pi}. We developed two tools for investigating…
We evaluate, within one-loop chiral perturbation theory, the two-pion exchange diagrams with single and double delta-isobar excitation contributing to elastic NN-scattering. We find that virtual $\Delta$-excitation processes (in the static…
The most general structure of an elastic partial wave amplitude when the unphysical cuts are neglected is deduced in terms of the N/D method. This result is then matched to lowest order, ${\mathcal{O}}(p^2)$, Chiral Perturbation…
The experimental results obtained in the last few years on kaon decays (K$\to2\pi$ and, above all, Ke4 decays) allow a reliable, model independent determination of low energy $\pi\pi$ scattering in the S0 wave. Using them and, eventually,…
We consider two aspects of scattering in strong plane wave backgrounds. First, we show that the infra-red divergences in elastic scattering depend on the structure of the background, but can be removed using the usual Bloch-Nordsieck…
We provide global parameterizations of $\pi\pi$ scattering $S0$ and $P$ partial waves up to roughly 2 GeV for phenomenological use. These parameterizations describe the output and uncertainties of previous partial-wave dispersive analyses…
