Nuclear PCAC relation is studied in the framework of the effective theory of nuclear interaction, in which the interaction of real pion production-absorption is expressed by many-body operators, and does not include the one-nucleon operator…
We test the hypothesis of partially conserved axial current (PCAC) in high energy diffractive neutrino production of pions. Since the pion pole contribution to the Adler relation (AR) is forbidden by conservation of the lepton current, the…
We show that a recent claim (H.Haberzettl, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85 (2000) 3576) that one cannot extract the nucleon weak axial form factor G_A (t) from charged pion threshold electroproduction is incorrect. Thus previous calculations remain…
We discuss the axial form factors of the nucleon within the context of the nonrelativistic chiral quark model. Partial conservation of the axial current (PCAC) imposed at the quark operator level enforces an axial coupling for the…
Traditional few-body descriptions of pion production use integral equations to sum the strong interactions nonperturbatively. Although much physics is thereby included, there has not been a practical way of incorporating the constraints of…
I present some recent results on neutral pion photo- and electroproduction in the threshold region and discuss the low energy theorem for $E_{0+}$ and some novel ones for the $P$-waves. I also study the two-pion production process $\gamma N…

The Adler relation between reactions initiated by neutrinos and pions is easy to misinterpret as a manifestation of the pion pole dominance. An axial current, however, cannot fluctuate into a pion, but only to heavy axial-vector states,…

A model of diffractive neutrino scattering is formulated in terms of the chiral hadronic current which is conserved in the limit of vanishing pion mass. This current has the correct singularity structure and, naturally, does not lead to…
We review the Rein--Sehgal model and criticize its use for low energy neutrino induced coherent pion production. We have studied the validity of the main approximations implicit in that model, trying to compare with physical observables…
