We review the description of the lowest-energy nucleon excitation -- the $\Delta$(1232)-resonance. Much of the recent experimental effort has been focused on the precision measurements of the nucleon-to-$\Delta$ transition by means of…
We construct a nuclear interaction in chiral effective field theory with explicit inclusion of the $\Delta$-isobar $\Delta(1232)$ degree of freedom at all orders up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We use pion-nucleon ($\pi N$)…
We study the Delta I =3/2 and Delta S =2 amplitudes for hyperon decays of the form (B to B(prime) pion) at lowest order in chiral perturbation theory. At this order, the Delta I=3/2 amplitudes depend on only one constant. We extract the…
We examine elastic Compton scattering off the deuteron for photon energies between 50 MeV and 100 MeV in the framework of chiral effective field theories to next-to-leading order. We compare one theoretical scheme with only pions and…
Mean-field model quantum field theories of hadrons were traditionally developed to describe cold and dense nuclear matter and are by now very well constrained from the recent neutron star merger observations. We show that when augmented…
