We argue that eta bound states in nuclei are sensitive to the singlet component in the eta. The bigger the singlet component, the more attraction and the greater the binding. Thus, measurements of eta bound states will yield new information…

We calculate the range corrections to S-wave neutron-deuteron scattering in the doublet channel (S=1/2) to first order in r/a where a is the scattering length and r the effective range. Ultraviolet divergences appearing at this order can be…
The optical potential for the $\eta$-meson is calculated. This is based on a new determination of a large $\eta$-N scattering length and recent experiments of $\eta$ production in two nucleon collisions. These determine the $\eta$ - nuclear…
For ultracold neutrons with a kinetic energy below 10 neV, strong scattering, characterized by $2\pi l_{c} / \lambda\leq 1$, can be obtained in metamaterials of C and $^7$Li. Here $l_{c}$ and $\lambda$ are the coherent scattering mean free…
The pi-N s-wave scattering lengths have been inferred from a joint analysis of the pionic hydrogen and the pionic deuterium x-ray data using a non-relativistic approach in which the pi-N interaction is simulated by a short-ranged potential.…
We calculate the spin-averaged $J/\psi$-nucleon scattering length $a_{J/\psi}$ by directly applying QCD sum rule to $J/\psi$-$N$ forward scattering amplitude. Our result $a_{J/\psi} = - 0.10 \pm 0.02$ fm, predicts the possibility of bound…
The most important parameters in the study of low-energy scattering are the s-wave and p-wave scattering lengths and the s-wave effective range. We solve the scattering problem and find two useful formulas for the scattering length and the…
