The problem of extracting photoproduction amplitudes uniquely from so called complete experiments is discussed. This problem can be considered either for the extraction of full production amplitudes, or for the determination of multipoles.…
Mechanisms for the production of $^1S_0$ diproton pairs, ${pp}_s$, in the $pd\to {pp}_s n$ reaction are studied at proton beam energies 0.5 -- 2 GeV in kinematics similar to those of backward elastic $pd$ scattering. This reaction provides…
A phase $\Delta \Phi$ between amplitudes for $B^0 \to K^{*0} \pi^0$ and $B^0 \to K^{*+} \pi^-$ plays a crucial role in a method for constraining Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) parameters. We present a general argument for destructive…
Short range meson-exchange mechanisms such as $\rho\to\omega\pi^0$ contribute significantly to the amplitude for $pp\rightarrow pp\pi^0$ near threshold in addition to pion rescattering. The uncertainty of the latter contribution, which…
We update the numerical results for the s-wave pi pi scattering phase-shift difference delta_0^0 - delta_0^2 at s = m_K^2 from a previous study of isospin breaking in K to 2 pi amplitudes in chiral perturbation theory. We include recent…
A polarized internal atomic hydrogen target and a stored, polarized beam are used to measure the spin-dependent total cross section Delta_sigma_T/sigma_tot, as well as the polar integrals of the spin correlation coefficient combination…

Medium and high energy absorptive parts contribute to dispersive expressions for D- wave scattering lengths, $a^0_2$ and $a^2_2$. For the model employed by Basdevant, Frogatt and Peterson we find the D- wave driving term contributions to…
The extraction of the Coulomb quadrupole to magnetic dipole ratio from a p(e_pol,e'p_pol)pi^0 measurement is discussed. Preliminary results from further asymmetry measurements with polarized and unpolarized electron beam indicate that the…
The S and P wave $\pi \pi$ phase shifts are recalculated in terms of two phenomenological parameters using the one loop CPTh and the elastic unitarity condition. Using these phase shifts, the vector and scalar form factors are calculated…
A calculation of the pion-production operator up to next-to-next-to-leading order for s-wave pions is performed within chiral effective field theory. In the previous study [Phys. Rev. C 85, 054001 (2012)] we discussed the contribution of…
The deuteron spectrum in n+p -> 2 H(pi pi) at k_n = 1.88 GeV/c and theta_d = 0^o is explained by considering a Delta Delta excitation as the dominant reaction mechanism for the 2 pi production. We present a new theoretical approach based on…
Recent work by J.Prades and myself on $K\to\pi\pi$ is described. The method we use to consistently connect long and short distances is described and numerical results for the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule and on $B_6$, the parameter relevant for the…
We have studied the $\gamma p \to p \pi^0 \eta$ reaction paying attention to the two main mechanisms at low energies, the $\gamma p \to \Delta(1700) \to \eta \Delta(1232)$ and the $\gamma p \to \Delta(1700) \to \pi N(1535)$. Both of them…
We analyse the $\overline B_s^0\to K^+l^-\bar \nu$ and $\overline B_s^0\to K^{*+}(\to K\pi) \ell^-\bar \nu$ decays that are valuable for extracting the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. We calculate the differential and integrated partial…

A simple partial wave amplitude analysis of $\overline{p}p \rightarrow \pi^- \pi^+$ has been performed for data in the range p$_{\sl lab}$ = 360 -- 1000 MeV/c. Remarkably few partial waves are required to fit the data, while the number of…
In this note, we clarify a point concerning the power divergence in lattice calculations of $\Delta I = 1/2$ $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes. There have been worries that this divergence might show up in the Minkowski amplitudes at…
