The influence of nuclear isospin mixing on parity-violating elastic electron scattering is studied for the even-even, N=Z nuclei 12C, 24Mg, 28Si, and 32S. Their ground-state wave functions have been obtained using a self-consistent…
We determine the strong-isospin violating component of the neutron-proton mass difference from fully-dynamical lattice QCD and partially-quenched QCD calculations of the nucleon mass, constrained by partially-quenched chiral perturbation…
Recently, the NA61/SHINE collaboration at the CERN SPS reported evidence of isospin-symmetry violation in high-energy nuclear collisions [Nature Commun. 16, 2849 (2025)]. The effect was observed in the relative yields of charged and neutral…
We study the electromagnetic vertex of a nucleon in next-to-leading order chiral perturbation theory (CPT). We consider the case where one of the nucleons at the $\gamma$NN vertex is off its mass shell. We define relevant measures for the…
We calculate at two-loop order in chiral perturbation theory the electromagnetic corrections to the two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon interaction that is generated by the isovector spin-flip $\pi\pi NN$ contact-vertex proportional to the…
Recently, we have derived the leading and subleading isospin-breaking three-nucleon forces using the method of unitary transformation. In the present work we extend this analysis and consider the corresponding two-nucleon forces using the…
We calculate the one-photon loop radiative corrections to virtual pion Compton scattering $\pi^- \gamma^* \to \pi^- \gamma$, that subprocess which determines in the one-photon exchange approximation the pion-nucleus bremsstrahlung reaction…
Although SU(2) isospin symmetry is generally assumed in the basic theory of the strong interaction, a number of significant violations have been observed in scattering and bound states of nucleons. Many of these violations can be attributed…
We recalculated pion virtual Compton scattering in perturbative QCD in this paper. Our calculation avoids some deficiencies in existing literatures, and treats real Compton scattering as a limit case in which the mass of the virtual photon…
The photon contribution to the divergences and conformal anomaly in the theory with Lorentz and CPT-violating terms is evaluated. We calculate one-loop counterterms coming from the integration over electromagnetic field and check that they…
We present a comprehensive analysis on the MSSM Higgs sector CP violation at photon colliders including the chargino contributions as well as the contributions of other charged particles. The chargino loop contributions can be important for…
In the analysis of \epsilon^\prime/\epsilon it has been traditional to consider the isospin-breaking effects arising from electroweak-penguin contributions and from \pi^0-\eta and \pi^0-\eta^\prime mixing, yet additional isospin-violating…
An attempt is made to incorporate the electromagnetic interaction in a Lorentz invariant but CPT violating non-local model with particle-antiparticle mass-splitting, which is regarded as a modified QED. The gauge invariance is maintained by…
Chiral effective field theory predicts a charge symmetry violating (CSB) amplitude for pion-nucleon scattering. This mechanism provides a very large contribution also to the CSB forward-backward asymmetry in the angular distribution of the…
The isospin-dependent component of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction that causes the $\Delta T=1$ (p, p') and (p, n) reactions off nuclei is studied. It is shown that the corrections to the impulse approximation comes from the…
Recent successes in {\it ab initio} calculations of light nuclei (A=2-6) will be reviewed and correlated with the dynamical consequences of chiral symmetry. The tractability of nuclear physics evinced by these results is evidence for that…
We calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon within the light-cone sum rule approach. In comparison to previous work (hep-ph/0112085) we suggest to use a pure isospin-1/2 interpolating field for the nucleon, since the…
We present the self-consistent, non-perturbative analysis of isospin mixing using the nuclear density functional approach and the rediagonalization of the Coulomb interaction in the good-isospin basis. The largest isospin-breaking effects…
Virtual Compton scattering off nucleons and pions at low energies is discussed. Predictions for the generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon are presented within the framework of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory and the linear…
The modification of the Paschos-Wolfenstein relation is investigated when the charge symmetry violations of valence and sea quark distributions in the nucleon are taken into account. We also study qualitatively the impact of charge symmetry…
