Quasifree $\eta$ photoproduction from nuclei is studied in the Distorted Wave Impulse Approximation (DWIA). The elementary eta production operator contains Born terms, vector meson and nucleon resonance contributions and provides an…
The importance of Born terms and resonance exchange for eta and eta-prime photoproduction off both the proton and neutron within U(3) baryon chiral perturbation theory is investigated. Low-lying resonances such as the vector mesons and J^P=…
The presently available data for the reaction ${\gamma}p{\to}\eta^\prime{p}$ are analyzed in terms of a model in which the dominant production mechanism is the exchange of the vector mesons $\omega$ and $\rho$. To describe the data at…
Nucleon decays into a lepton and two pseudoscalar mesons represent key channels for probing baryon number violation, complementing conventional two-body modes. In this Letter, we model-independently correlate two- and three-body processes…
Properties of the lowest $0^{+}$ states of $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ are calculated to study the role of three-body interactions in the $\alpha$-cluster model. An additional short-range part of the local three-body potential is introduced to…
Beam asymmetry and differential cross section for the reaction gamma+p->eta+p were measured from production threshold to 1500 MeV photon laboratory energy. The two dominant neutral decay modes of the eta meson, eta->2g and eta->3pi0, were…
It is argued that the strong energy dependence of the $p\, d \rightarrow \,^{3\!}H\!e\, \eta$ cross section near threshold is due to a final state interaction between the $\eta$ meson and the $^3$He nucleus. The large scattering length that…
We investigate eta electroproduction on nuclei for Q^2=2.4 and 3.6 GeV^2 in the framework of a coupled-channel BUU transport model. We analyze the importance of final state interactions and side feeding and compare with findings drawn from…
A model is developed for the hadronic and electromagnetic interaction in the two-nucleon system above pion threshold in the framework of meson, nucleon and $\Delta$ degrees of freedom. It is based on time-ordered perturbation theory and…
By means of a technique, which does not employ partial wave (PW) decompositions, the nucleon-deuteron break-up process is evaluated in the Faddeev scheme, where only the leading order term of the amplitude is considered. This technique is…
The total cross section of the p d -> p d eta reaction has been measured at two energies near threshold by detecting the final proton and deuteron in a magneti spectrometer. The values are somewhat larger than expected on the basis of two…
Radiative corrections are playing an increasingly significant role in low-energy nuclear physics. We investigate the influence of photons as explicit degrees of freedom within nuclear EFT on the deuteron binding energy, charge form factor,…
A two-body interaction or force between quantum particles is ubiquitous in nature, and the microscopic description in terms of the bare two-body interaction is the basis for quantitatively describing interacting few- and many-body systems.…
In this study, we try to extract $\omega n$, $\omega p$ and $\phi$N scattering lengths from the differential cross-section data of near-threshold $\omega$ and $\phi$ photoproductions not only to the energy at threshold t$_{thr}$, but also…
Motivated by the two recent observations in the WASA-at-COSY detector, we investigate the $\eta^3$He nucleus with the $\eta NNN$ few body method. We construct the effective $s$-wave energy dependent $\eta N$ potential which reproduce the…
We discuss renormalization of the non-relativistic three-body problem with short-range forces. The problem becomes non-perturbative at momenta of the order of the inverse of the two-body scattering length, and an infinite number of graphs…
The low-energy scattering of three bosons or distinguishable particles with short-range interactions is characterized by a fundamental parameter, the three-body scattering hypervolume. Its imaginary part is directly related to the…
We investigate the interactions of the deuteron with light mesons during the hadronic phase in heavy-ion collisions. We treat the deuteron as a weakly bound state and employ the quasi-free approximation to describe the $d\pi$ interaction.…
