We review the current status of rho-omega mixing and discuss its implication for our understanding of charge-symmetry breaking. In order to place this work in context we also review the photon-hadron coupling within the framework of vector…
We study the tensor structure function $b_1\xq$ in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of an electron from a polarized deuteron target. We model the electron-nucleon cross section at the starting point for $Q^2$ evolution by…
The semi-inclusive cross section for producing slow protons in charged current deep inelastic (anti-) neutrino scattering on protons and neutrons is calculated as a function of the Bjorken $x$ and the proton momentum. The standard…
A series of previous papers develops a dipole model in initial state impact parameter space that includes subleading effects such as running alpha strong, unitarity, confinement and saturation. Here some recent work is presented, where the…
Strong decays of vector ($^3S_1$) mesons to the pair of pseudoscalar ($^1S_0$) mesons are considered in the framework of the microscopic decay mechanism and the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. The…
The properties of vector mesons in nuclear matter are discussed. Results for the momentum dependence of the $\rho$-meson self energy in matter due to $\rho N$ interactions are presented, and consequences for the production rate of $e^+e^-$…
A natural possibility for dark matter is that it is composed of the stable pions of a QCD-like hidden sector. Existing literature largely assumes that pion self-interactions alone control the early universe cosmology. We point out that…
Effective masses of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons in nuclear medium are studied in a hadronic effective theory. Both the pole position and the screening mass decrease in nuclear matter due to the polarization of the nucleon Dirac sea. The…
Using the QCD Operator Product Expansion, we derive the real part of the transverse and longitudinal vector vector correlation function with the $\rho,\omega$ quantum numbers to leading order in density and in ${\bf q}^2$ at $-\omega^2\to…
The dependence of the diffractive nuclear shadowing and the nuclear pion excess effect on the deuteron spin alignment leads to a substantial tensor polarisation of sea partons in the deuteron. The corresponding tensor structure function…
It was found that the isoscalar-scalar and isovector-scalar mesons play significant roles in nuclear matter physics. However, the underlying structures of these resonances are not yet well understood. We construct a three-flavor baryonic…
The $Q^2$ dependence of the ratios of nuclear structure functions $F_2^A$ is studied by performing QCD evolution of nuclear parton distribution functions. The log $Q^2$ slope of these ratios is very sensitive to the nuclear gluon…
Aspects of Scalar Meson Dominance in semi- and non-leptonic weak pseudoscalar meson decays are shortly discussed on the basis of the Quark-Level Linear Sigma Model.
We present a revision of predictions for nuclear shadowing in deep-inelastic scattering at small Bjorken $x_{Bj}$ corresponding to kinematic regions accessible by the future experiments at electron-ion colliders. The nuclear shadowing is…
The relationship between the parton transverse momentum and longitudinal momentum, which is obtained by analysing the hadron tensor in the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process, indicates that the transverse size of partons in a nucleon…
High energy photoproduction off nuclear targets is studied within the Glauber-Gribov approximation. The photon is assumed to interact as a $q\bar{q}$-system according to the Generalized Vector Dominance Model and as a ``bare photon'' in…
The idea that dark matter may be a composite state of a hidden nonabelian gauge sector has received great attention in recent years. Frameworks such as asymmetric dark matter motivate the idea that dark matter may have similar mass to the…

Various implications of new, non-perturbative pomeron inspired enhancement of small-x neutrino-nucleon structure functions for high-energy neutrino astrophysics are discussed. At x larger than 10^{-5} these functions are given by…
We argued that deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at small values of Q squared is an essentially nonperturbative process and can be described, partially at least, by the vector meson dominance (VMD) model. We showed by the straightforward…
