We derive an analytic expression for the Kroll-Ruderman amplitude up to the order 1/N_C for general Skyrme-type models of the nucleon. Due to the degeneracy of intermediate N- and Delta-states we find deviations from the standard low-energy…
A careful reanalysis of both Argonne National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory data for weak single pion production is done. We consider deuteron nuclear effects and normalization (flux) uncertainties in both experiments. We…
Off-shell propagation of nucleons is neglected in one-body transport models of heavy-ion collisions, but it could be significant in processes that are limited by phase space, such as the threshold production of heavy particles. We estimate…
We test the presence of pion-nucleon isoscalar off-shell effects in the $pd\to \pi^+ t$ reaction around the threshold region. We find that these effects significantly modify the production cross section and that they may provide the missing…
