We carry out an analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering in the $IJ=00$, $11$ and $20$ channels in configuration space up to a maximal center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1.4$ GeV. We separate the interaction into two regions marked by an elementarity…

T-odd P-even long-range electromagnetic interaction of a particle of spin 1/2 with the nucleus is considered. Though matrix element of the interaction is zero for the particles on mass shell, nevertheless, null test exists for the…
The significant global spin alignment observed for $\phi$ mesons in heavy-ion collisions has sparked intense discussions about its origin and implications. One explanation suggests that fluctuations in the strong force field may introduce…
