We compute the decay rate for the process $\eta_c\to p\bar p$ using an effective helicity-flipping proton-antiproton-gluon vertex which incorporates nonperturbative chiral symmetry breaking effects induced by instantons. We fix the strength…
We investigate the decay of accelerated protons and neutrons. Calculations are carried out in the inertial and coaccelerated frames. Particle interpretation of these processes are quite different in each frame but the decay rates are…

In this report I will give an experimental overview on nuclear stopping in hadron collisions, and relate observations to understanding of baryon transport. Baryon number transport is not only evidenced via net-proton distributions but also…
