Using the soft pion theorem in the inclusive reactions, we estimate the soft pion contribution to the structure functions $F_2$ and $g_1$ in the nucleon, and show that it is an indispensable part in these structure functions in the small…

The strength of the interaction of three pions and a photon, $F_{3\pi}$ is predicted by the axial anomaly in terms of the pion decay constant, a relation that is frequently used to constrain low-energy radiative processes involving pions,…

We relate the asymmetries in the charged pions energy in the decay into $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ of $K_L$ and of the tagged neutral kaons. The former asymmetry is a given combination of $\Re(\epsilon)$, $\Im(\epsilon)$, and $|\epsilon'|$.…

Charge conjugation C is one of the fundamental symmetries in nature which transforms particles into antiparticles. This symmetry was studied in weak interaction where it is fully violated, but it is poorly known in the strong and…
A systematic experimental study of inclusive pion double charge exchange in 4He has been undertaken. The reaction 4He(pi+,pi-)4p was observed at incident energies 120, 150, 180, 240 and 270 MeV; the 4He(pi-,pi+)4n reaction was observed at…
