Conditions are established for the existence of a scattering length and an effective range in the low-energy expansion of the S-wave phase-shift of a central potential in two and three dimensions. The behavior of the phase-shift as a…

We aim to see the sensitivity of collective transverse in-plane flow to symmetry energy at low as well as high densities and also to see the effect of different density dependencies of symmetry energy on the same.

We study electromagnetic waves scattering by a 2D photonic crystal made of a stack of diffraction gratings. In case where there are only two propagative modes in the crystal, we derive an explicit expression for the superior (resp.…

We develop a picture of dipole-nucleus (namely dilute-dense) and dipole-dipole (dilute-dilute) scattering in the high-energy regime based on the analysis of the fluctuations in the quantum evolution. We emphasize the difference in the…

Influence of multiple scattering on high-energy deuteron quasi-optical birefringence effect is discussed.

This talk is a rather sceptical review of our knowledge and understanding of deep inelastic scattering at low x (high energy). We show that the well known success of the DGLAP evolution equations in describing of experimental HERA data…
