Positive pion electroproduction from the deuteron near threshold has been considered within an approach based on the unitary transformation method. The gauge independence of the treatment is provided by using an explicitly gauge independent…

In this talk we cover several issues concerning pion production. The first one is the p p ----> p p pi^0 reaction where an alternative explanation based on the off shell extrapolation of the pi N amplitude is offered. A recent model for the…
We have calculated the effect of the inclusion of final state interactions on pion production from nuclei with incident pion beams. We find that the effect of absorption, along with geometric considerations, explains much of the enhancement…

Incoherent pion electroproduction on the deuteron is studied from threshold up to the second resonance region with special emphasis on the influence of final state interaction, in particular on polarization observables. The elementary…
The coherent pion production induced by neutrinos in nuclei is studied using a delta hole model in local density approximation taking into account the renormalization of $\Delta$ properties in a nuclear medium. The pion absorption effects…

We show that the tail of the chiral two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potential is proportional to the $\pi N$ scalar form factor and discuss how it can be translated into effective scalar meson interactions. We then construct a kernel for…
