We discuss an on-shell approach to pion-nucleon physics that is consistent order by order in a $1/f_{\pi}$ expansion with the chiral reduction formula, crossing, and relativistic unitarity. A number of constraints between the on-shell…
We review the Rein--Sehgal model and criticize its use for low energy neutrino induced coherent pion production. We have studied the validity of the main approximations implicit in that model, trying to compare with physical observables…
The elastic pi-N scattering amplitude in the isospin limit is calculated in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, up to the third order. Threshold parameters like scattering lengths, volumes, effective ranges, etc. are…
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…
The OS and PDS renormalization schemes for the effective field theory with nucleons and pions are investigated. We explain in detail how the renormalization is implemented using local counterterms. Fits to the NN scattering data are…
We present a determination of the pion-nucleon sigma-term based on a novel analysis of the $\pi N$ scattering amplitude in Lorentz covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory renormalized in the extended-on-mass-shell scheme. This…
We provide a new method to construct the S-matrix in quantum field theory. This method implements crossing symmetry manifestly by erasing the a priori distinction between in- and out-states. It allows the description of processes where the…
We present a new formulation of effective field theory for nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions which treats pion interactions perturbatively, and we offer evidence that the expansion converges satisfactorily to third order in the expansion,…
The observed enhancement of $p\bar p$-production near the threshold in radiative decays of $J/\psi$ and $e^+e^-$-annihilations can be explained with final state interactions among the produced $N\bar N$ system, where the enhancement is…
A new method is proposed for fitting non-relativistic binary-scattering data and for extracting the parameters of possible quantum resonances in the compound system that is formed during the collision. The method combines the well-known…
This paper contains the results of an analysis of recent low-energy pion-nucleon scattering experiments. Obtained are phase shifts, the pion-nucleon coupling constant and an estimate of the Sigma term.
We suggest the most model-independent and simple description of the $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow\pi\pi$ process near threshold in framework of S-matrix approach. The amplitudes contain the pion polarizabilities and rather restricted information…
Computing a perturbative S-matrix through Feynman series in quantum field theory, the regularization used does not affect the final result. We propose a new approach to construction of the perturbative S-matrices, so that they will depend…
Extensive data on strong interaction effects in pionic atoms are analyzed with a density-dependent isovector scattering amplitude suggested recently by Weise to result from a density dependence of the pion decay constant. Most of the…
We match the results for the subthreshold parameters of pion-nucleon scattering obtained from a solution of Roy-Steiner equations to chiral perturbation theory up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order, to extract the pertinent low-energy…
In this talk I review the main features of the coherent/diffractive pion production by neutrinos on nuclei. The method is based on PCAC and relates the reaction $\textbf{boson} + \textbf{nucleus} \to \textbf{pion} + \textbf{nucleus}$ to…
It is argued that Weinberg's approach to the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction problem within effective field theory provides a consistent power counting for renormalized diagrams. Within this scheme the NN potential is organized as an…
We consider scattering theory for a pair of operators $H_0$ and $H=H_0+V$ on $L^2(M,m)$, where $M$ is a Riemannian manifold, $H_0$ is a multiplication operator on $M$ and $V$ is a pseudodifferential operator of order $-\mu$, $\mu>1$. We…
The QCD collinear factorization framework allows to describe exclusive backward production of a $J/\psi$ meson in pion-nucleon collisions in terms of pion-to-nucleon transition distribution amplitudes. We calculate the scattering amplitude…
It was shown by careful consideration of the time--dependent classic solution for the rotated skyrmion, that such solution at large distances has radiational component similar to the Lienart-Viehart retarded potential in Electrodynamics. We…
