Both the relativistic and non-relativistic model explain very well low-energy nuclear phenomena, but in a physically different way from each other. There seems to be no low-energy phenomenon to answer which model is more reasonable. In…
Motivated by the present interest in the heavy quark effective theory, we use the spectator equation to treat the mesonic bound states of heavy quarks. The kernel we use is based on scalar confining and vector Coulomb potentials. Wave…
We propose an analytical 3-D model of the open field-line region of a neutron star (NS) magnetosphere. We construct an explicit analytic solution for arbitrary obliquity (angle between the rotation and magnetic axes) incorporating the…

The matter density distribution inside a hadron is evaluated using gauge-invariant correlation functions within the quenched and the unquenched theory. Comparison with the charge density distribution suggests that hadron deformation is a…
Many approaches to nucleon-nucleus elastic and inelastic scattering are based on the use of the free-space nucleon-nucleon transition amplitude. In calculations where the full spin-dependence of this amplitude is needed, its use is more…
