Some open topics in the field of low energy photon-nucleon interactions are discussed--which in my opinion are of interest both for obtaining new information on nucleon structure as well as for precision tests of our theoretical…
We present calculations of the two-pion-exchange contribution to proton-proton scattering at 90 degrees using form factors appropriate for representing the distribution of the constituent partons of the nucleon. Talk given at MENU2001,…
The Compton scattering on a charged pion is studied using the dispersion relations. Unknown mass, full width and decay width into \gamma \gamma of the sigma meson are found from a fit to the experimental data for the process \gamma+\gamma…
We present an analysis of isospin-breaking effects in threshold pion-nucleon scattering due to the light quark mass difference and the dominant virtual photon effects. We discuss the deviation from various relations, which are exact in the…
Compton scattering by the proton has been measured over a wide range covering photon energies 250 MeV < E_\gamma < 800 MeV and photon scattering angles 30^0 < \theta^{lab}_\gamma < 150^0, using the tagged-photon facility at MAMI (Mainz) and…
A large set of cross sections for semi-inclusive electroproduction of charged pions ($\pi^\pm$) from both proton and deuteron targets was measured. The data are in the deep-inelastic scattering region with invariant mass squared $W^2$ > 4…
The leading-particle effect and the factorization property of the scattering amplitude in the impact parameter space are used to study semiclassical production of pions in the central region. The mechanism is related to the isospin-uniform…
Pion scattering amplitudes were recently found to vanish on specific kinematic loci, and to factorise close to these loci into a product of two lower-point amplitudes of an extended theory. We propose a diagrammatic representation of pion…
We examine the scattering of charged pions from the trinucleon system at a pion energy of 180 MeV. The motivation for this study is the structure seen in the experimental angular distribution of back-angle scattering for pi+ 3He and pi- 3H…

Over twenty-five years ago, two analyses of the pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) data at low energy (i.e., for pion laboratory kinetic energy $T \leq 100$ MeV) reported on the departure of the extracted scattering amplitudes, corresponding to the two…
We consider threshold pion electroproduction on a proton target for photon virtualities in the region 1-10 GeV$^2$. The S-wave multipoles at threshold, $E_{0+}$ and $L_{0+}$, are calculated using light-cone sum rules.
Elastic cross sections are calculated and compared with the data on $\pi^{\pm}$ scattering on $^{28}$Si, $^{40}$Ca, $^{58}$Ni, $^{208}$Pb nuclei in the energy range from 130 to 290 MeV. To this end, both the folding optical potential (OP)…
We show that processes involving pions that remain very near their mass-shell can be reliably computed in the pionless effective field theory, with the pion integrated in as a heavy field. As an application, we compute the pion-deuteron…
Nuclear corrections are presented for neutrino and electron induced reactions in a pedagogical manner. The formalism is demonstrated with numerical studies and is shown to produce substantial corrections in channels where the pions have the…
A microscopic model for the $N\bar N\to\pi\pi$ process is presented in the meson exchange framework, which in the pseudophysical region agrees with available quasiempirical information. The scalar ($\sigma$) and vector ($\rho$) piece of…
