Within a dynamical model, rescattering effects are studied in coherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron in the $\Delta$(1232) resonance region. The model consists of a system of coupled equations for the N$\Delta$, NN$\pi$ and NN…
We consider two-photon exchange (TPE) in the elastic electron-proton scattering and evaluate the effect of \pi N (pion + nucleon) intermediate hadronic states. Among different \pi N states, we concentrate on the P33 channel; thus we…

The muon decay parameter delta has been measured by the TWIST collaboration. We find delta = 0.74964 +- 0.00066(stat.) +- 0.00112(syst.), consistent with the Standard Model value of 3/4. This result implies that the product Pmuxi of the…
We report measurements of the exclusive neutral pion electroproduction cross section off protons at large values of $x_B$ (0.36, 0.48 and 0.60) and $Q^2$ (3.1 to 8.4 GeV$^2$) obtained from Jefferson Lab Hall A experiment E12-06-014. The…
Deeply virtual electroproduction of pion in exclusive reaction $p(e,e'\pi^+)n$ is studied using a two-component model which includes soft hadronic and hard partonic reaction mechanisms. The results are compared with the experimental data…
We study the incoherent neutrinoproduction of photons and pions with neutrino energy E_{\nu} $\leqslant$ 0.5 GeV. These processes are relevant to the background analysis in neutrino-oscillation experiments, for example MiniBooNE [A. A.…
The parity-violating (PV) asymmetry of inclusive $\pi^-$ production in electron scattering from a liquid deuterium target was measured at backward angles. The measurement was conducted as a part of the G0 experiment, at a beam energy of 360…

MAID is a unitary isobar model for a partial wave analysis of pion photo- and electroproduction in the resonance region. It is fitted to the world data and can give predictions for multipoles, amplitudes, cross sections and polarization…
We show that constraints from perturbative QCD calculations play a role in the nucleon to Delta(1232) electromagnetic transition even at moderate momentum transfer scales. The pQCD constraints, tied to real photoproduction data and…
