We summarize recent work on muon capture and the pseudoscalar form factor of the nucleon.
Dimuon production has been studied in a series of fixed-target experiments at Fermilab during the last two decades. Highlights from these experiments, together with recent results from the Fermilab E866 experiment, are presented. Future…
It is shown that an account for the final-state interaction of real or virtual nucleon and antinucleon produced in the processes $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\gamma$, $\psi(2S)\to p\bar{p}\gamma$, $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\omega$, and…
A few chosen nucleon properties are described from a lattice QCD perspective: the nucleon sigma term and the scalar strangeness in the nucleon; the vector form factors in the nucleon, including the vector strangeness contribution, as well…
I review what is known about the quark and gluon spin distributions in the nucleon. I discuss in some detail (a) the existence of sum rules for angular momentum; (b) the interpretation and possible measurement of the nucleon's transversity…
The problem under consideration in this thesis has, actually, two aspects. The first one concerns the case when a nucleon is in free space that is in vacuum, while the second one studies a nucleon embedded into a nuclear environment. Both…
Guided by history, we review the major developments concerning realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials since the pioneering work by Kuo and Brown on the effective nuclear interaction. Our main emphasis is on the physics underlying various…

In the spirit of establishing a fair reference for nucleus-nucleus collisions, results on stopping and baryon transfer, correlations of the p+p interaction and their consequences are shown. In the discussion of new results from…
A covariant, composite scalar diquark, Fadde'ev amplitude model for the nucleon is used to calculate pseudoscalar, isoscalar- and isovector-vector, axial-vector and scalar nucleon form factors. The last yields the nucleon sigma-term and…
