Final state interactions in two-particle interferometry is considered for two-particle potentials which are the Coulomb plus "strong" one. For a simple model of the source we provide a full numerical calculation of the correlation function…
We study the role of low momentum transfer (soft) interactions between high-transverse momentum heavy particles and beam remnants (spectators) in hadronic collisions. Such final-state interactions are power suppressed for single-particle…

In nuclear physics, it is well known that the electromagnetic (Coulomb) interaction between final state products can drastically effect particle reaction rates. Near thresholds, for example, nuclear alpha decay is suppressed while nuclear…

Unstable particles cannot be treated as asymptotic external states in $S$-matrix theory and when they occur as resonant states cannot be described by finite-order perturbation theory. The known facts concerning unstable particles are…
