The proton-neutron interaction is investigated by solving the Schrodinger equation, where a Yukawa type of potential with one pion exchanging between the proton and the neutron is assumed. Since the deutron is the unique bound state of the…
Electro-disintegration of the deuteron at large $Q^2$ currently represents on of the most promising reactions which allows to probe the bound nuclear state at internal momenta comparable to the rest mass of the nucleon. Large internal…
Eta-deuteron scattering lengths are calculated. A summation of the multiple scattering series is carried out and the result is checked against more involved calculations. The necessity to go beyond the fixed nucleon approximation is…
A nonzero electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron, proton, deuteron or helion, in fact, of any finite system necessarily involves the breaking of a symmetry, either by the presence of external fields (i.e. electric fields leading to the…
Neutrino interaction uncertainties are a limiting factor in current and next-generation experiments probing the fundamental physics of neutrinos, a unique window on physics beyond the Standard Model. Neutrino-nucleon scattering amplitudes…
Employing the polarization degrees of freedom in the deuteron allows to isolate smaller than average inter-nucleon distances in the deuteron. As a result one can identify set of high $Q^2$ reactions off polarized deuteron which are…
Starting from 2003, a large number of the so-called exotic hadrons, such as $X(3872)$ and $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, were discovered experimentally. Since then, understanding the nature of these states has been a central issue both theoretically and…
The present work provides one more evidence of that the solar neutrino problem has an elegant solution based on the hypothesis about the existence of a new, semi-weak, interaction. The analysis of the deuteron disintegration by neutral…

We compute the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the deuteron in the holographic QCD model of Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto. Previously, the leading contribution to the EDM of nucleons was computed, finding opposite values for the proton and the…
The present article demonstrates that the deuteron, i.e. the lightest bound nuclear system made of a single proton and a single neutron, can be accurately described within a mean-field-based framework. Although paradoxical at first glance,…
Observables in proton-deuteron scattering are sensitive probes of the nucleon-nucleon interaction and three-nucleon force effects. Several facilities, including the KVI, allow a detailed study of few-nucleon interactions below the…
We analyze contributions to the electric dipole (EDM) and Schiff (SFM) moments of deuteron induced by the CP-violating three-pseudoscalar meson couplings using phenomenological Lagrangian approach involving nucleons and pseudoscalar mesons…
We demonstrate that a paradigm shift from considering the deuteron as a system of bound proton and neutron to considering it as a pseudo-vector system in which we observe proton and neutron, results in a possibility of probing a new…
Until now no electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) has been observed. Why it is so vanishingly small, escaping detection for the last 65 years, is not easy to explain. In general it is considered as one of the most sensitive probes…
