The interaction of neutrons and nuclei at low energies may potentially lead to scattering lengths several orders of magnitude larger than the effective range of the interaction, well beyond the nuclear scale. If such cases existed, they…
One-nucleon emission electron scattering experiments are studied with a model that considers short--range correlations up to the first order in the number of correlation lines. The proper normalization of the many-body wave functions…

The possible existence of $\eta$-mesic nuclei poses an interesting and still open issue of research. Since the occurence of such $\eta$-nucleus bound states is reflected in the corresponding $\eta$-nucleus scattering length, we critically…
We suggest that the $\gamma p \to \phi \eta p$ reaction cross section, in the kinematics where the $\eta p$ invariant mass in the final state lies between the threshold value (m$_p$+m$_\eta$) and the N*(1535) resonance mass, is largely…
The relation between nuclear saturation and NN-correlations is examined. Nucleons bound in a nucleus have a reduced effective mass due to the mean field. This results in off-energy-shell scatterings modifying the free-space NN-interaction…
The \eta-meson collision with light nuclei, ^2H, ^3H, ^3He, and ^4He, is considered on the basis of a microscopic approach which utilises Faddeev type and Lippmann-Schwinger equations. The nuclear hamiltonian is approximated by the finite…
An effective nucleon-nucleon interaction calculated in nuclear matter from the Bonn potential has been parametrized in terms of a local density- and energy-dependent two-body interaction. This allows to calculate the real part of the…
