We present the first measurement of the Q^2-dependence of the neutron spin structure function g_2^n at five kinematic points covering 0.57 (GeV/c)^2 <= Q^2 <= 1.34 (GeV/c)^2 at x~0.2. Though the naive quark-parton model predicts g_2=0,…

We calculate the complete $T$ matrices of the elastic nucleon-nucleon scattering up to third order in SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. The phase shifts with orbital angular momentum $L\geq 2$ and the mixing angles with $J\geq…
We match the non-relativistic quark model, with both flavor dependent and flavor independent effective quark-quark interactions, to the spin-flavor operator basis of the 1/Nc expansion for the L=1 non-strange baryons. We obtain analytic…

Silicon quantum dots are considered an excellent platform for spin qubits, partly due to their weak spin-orbit interaction. However, the sharp interfaces in the heterostructures induce a small but significant spin-orbit interaction which…
The spin-orbit correlation in spin-0 hadrons can be investigated through the kinetic energy-momentum tensor form factor $\tilde F^q(t)$. We observe that the latter is also related to a torque about the radial direction, which we interpret…
In the first part of these lectures, I consider chiral perturbation theory in the presence of matter fields. It allows to systematically work out the consequences of the broken chiral symmetry of QCD. As examples, threshold pion photo- and…

We investigate the single-spin asymmetry for the single-inclusive production of hadrons and jets in collisions of transversely polarized nucleons and unpolarized leptons, $\ell N^\uparrow \to (h\,\mathrm{or\,jet})X$. We compute the…
We use the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD to analyze the spectrum of positive parity resonances with strangeness $S = 0, -1, -2$ and -3 in the 2--3 GeV mass region, supposed to belong to the $[\textbf{56},4^+]$ multiplet. The mass operator is…
