The Paschos-Wolfenstein (PW) relation joins neutral- and charged-current neutrino- and antineutrino-induced cross sections into an expression that depends on the weak mixing angle $\sin^2 \theta_W$. Contrary to the traditional approach with…

Based on the isospin dependent transport model IBUU, the pion production and its absorption are thoroughly studied in the central collision of $Au+Au$ at a beam energy of 400 MeV/nucleon. It is found that the pions are firstly produced by…

We evaluate the couplings of pions in the transitions of positive parity heavy mesons, (1+,2+) and (0+,1+), to negative parity ones (0-,1-) using a technique which is not limited to the soft-pion limit. This is made through a constituent…
In this work, dispersion relations of $\pi^0$ and $\pi^{\pm}$ have been studied in vacuum in the limit of weak external magnetic field using a phenomenological pion-nucleon $(\pi N)$ Lagrangian. For our purpose, we have calculated the…
We investigate the dilepton production rates from annihilation processes of charged pion pairs with modified pion dispersion relations in the inhomogeneous chiral condensed phase. We assume a dual chiral density wave as an inhomogeneous…
We consider the one-particle sector of the spinless Yukawa model, which describes the interaction of a nucleon with a real field of scalar massive bosons (neutral mesons). The nucleon as well as the mesons have relativistic dispersion…

The impulse approximation of pion production reactions is studied by developing a relativistic formalism, consistent with that used to define the nucleon-nucleon potential. For plane wave initial states we find that the usual one-body (1B)…
