The description of the three-nucleon system in terms of nucleon and $\Delta$ degrees of freedom is extended to allow for explicit pion production (absorption) from single dynamic $\Delta$ de-excitation (excitation) processes. This mechanism…
A detailed description of Moscow-type (M-type) potential models for the NN interaction is given. The microscopic foundation of these models, which appear as a consequence of the composite quark structure of nucleons, is discussed. M-type…
Intrinsic aberrations are those which occur due to the finite length of the desired field configuration. They are often loosely ascribed to the fringing field. This is misleading as it implies that the effects can be minimized by shaping…
