We present a dispersion relation in the pion-mass squared, which static quantities (nucleon mass, magnetic moment, etc.) obey under the assumption of analyticity in the entire complex $m_\pi^2$ plane modulo a cut at negative $m_\pi^2$…
We examine the two-photon exchange corrections to elastic electron-proton scattering within a dispersive approach, including contributions from both Nucleon and Delta intermediate states. The dispersive analysis avoids off-shell…
We report on fits of a large class of analytic amplitude models for forward scattering against the comprehensive data for all available reactions. To differentiate the goodness of the fits of many possible parametrizations to a large sample…
Based on a study of the properties of the Lerch's transcendent, exact closed forms of dispersion relations for amplitudes and for derivatives of amplitudes in pp and p\=p scattering are introduced. Exact and complete expressions are written…
Interdependencies between experimental spectra, representing line or plane projections of electronic densities, are derived from their consistency and symmetry conditions. Some additional relations for plane projections are obtained by…
Diffuse phonon scattering strongly affects the phonon transport through a disordered interface. The often-used diffuse mismatch model assumes that phonons lose memory of their origin after being scattered by the interface. Using…
It is believed that one can extract more accurate information of the pion distribution amplitude from the pion-photon transition form factor (TFF) due to the single pion in this process. However the BABAR and Belle data of the pion-photon…
We critically evaluate the isovector GMO sum rule for forward pion-nucleon scattering using the recent precision measurements of negatively charged pion-proton and pion-deuteron scattering lengths from pionic atoms. We deduce the…
The comparison of positron-proton and electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections is a sensitive test for the presence of two-photon exchange contributions. Thirty years ago, positron data were considered adequate to set tight limits…
I discuss recent progress in our understanding of the pi pi scattering amplitude at low energy thanks to the combined use of chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I also comment on the criticism raised by Pelaez and Yndurain…
The S wave pion deuteron scattering length is presented at NLO in the Effective Field Theory formulation of the two nucleon system with perturbative pions. At this order, this observable is determined by the iso-scalar S wave pion nucleon…
Bivariate count models having one marginal and the other conditionals being of the Poissons form are called pseudo-Poisson distributions. Such models have simple exible dependence structures, possess fast computation algorithms and generate…
In a recent paper, Pelaez and Yndurain evaluate some of the low energy observables of pi pi scattering and obtain flat disagreement with our earlier results. The authors work with unsubtracted dispersion relations, so that their results are…
Two-particle two-hole contributions to electromagnetic response functions are computed in a fully relativistic Fermi gas model. All one-pion exchange diagrams that contribute to the scattering amplitude in perturbation theory are…
We improve, in the energy region between $\bar{K}K$ threshold and $\sim~1.4$ GeV, the energy-dependent phase shift analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering presented in a previous paper. For the S0 wave we have included more data above $\bar{K}K$…
The anomaly (cusp) in the mass spectrum of two neutral pions from the three-pion decays of charged kaon has been observed in the NA48/2 experiment. Using the recently developed interpretation of this effect in terms of Chiral Perturbative…
We consider pion pair production in two-photon collisions, gamma* gamma -> pi+ pi-, at large photon virtuality Q^2 and center-of-mass energy \sqrt{s} in the hard-scattering picture. In the limit where s is large but s << Q^2 we derive an…
The propagation of ON-OFF signals with dispersive waves is examined in this study. An integral-form exact solution for a simple ON-OFF switching event is derived, which holds for any dispersion relation. The integral can be exactly…
We use the framework of effective field theories to discuss the determination of the S-wave \pi N scattering lengths from the recent high-precision measurements of pionic deuterium observables. The theoretical analysis proceeds in several…
We review our recent description of high energy forward hadronic cross sections and in particular of pion scattering data by means of Regge theory. We obtain a prediction for the total proton-proton cross section at LHC. In addition, and…
