The role of mesons, particularly the pion, in the structure of nucleons is reviewed and investigated. Since quark-antiquark pairs are likely to ``transform" into mesons at large distances, mesons are expected to contribute to nucleon…
Multiparticle effects in Bose-Einstein correlations are reviewed. It is shown that for a broad class of models they can be ignored in the low density limit, but often are significant (typically at the 10% level) for realistic denisties.
The hydrogen-like muonium atom ($\mu^+e^-$) consists of a positive muon ($\mu^+$) and an electron ($e^-$). Since it was first observed by Hughes et al. in 1960, a series of precision experiments could be carried out testing bound state…
