For a classical system with long-range interactions, a soft mode exists whenever a stationary state spontaneously breaks a continuous symmetry of the Hamiltonian. Besides that, if the corresponding coordinate associated to the symmetry…

The low-energy parameters describing the np scattering in the 3S1 + 3D1 partial waves, the deuteron parameters, and their relations are discussed. These parameters can be determined quite accurately in the energy-dependent Nijmegen…
In this two part series a chiral confining model of baryons is used to describe low--lying negative parity resonances $N^*$, $\Delta^*$, $\Lambda^*$ and $\Sigma^*$ in the mean field approximation. A physical baryon in this model consists of…

We calculate the effect of many-body interactions in nuclear matter on the spectral function of $\rho$ and $\omega$ meson. In particular, we focus on the role played by baryon resonances in this context.
Based on a baryon-baryon interaction model with meson exchanges, we investigate the origin of the strong attraction in the $N \Omega ( {}^{5}S_{2} )$ interaction, which was indicated by recent lattice QCD simulations. The long range part of…
Heavy meson production in nucleon-nucleon collisions is discussed within a meson exchange model of hadronic interactions, paying special attention to the basic dynamics that determine the behavior of the cross sections near the threshold…

We present a nonrelativistic transition potential for the weak strangeness-changing reaction $\Lambda N \to NN$. The potential is based on a one meson exchange model (OME), where, in addition to the long-ranged pion, the exchange of the…
Monte Carlo generators which were tuned for energies up to that of the Tevatron, are found wanting when extended to LHC energies. We construct a model that satisfies the theoretical requisites of high energy soft interactions, based on two…
We derive nonstrange baryon-baryon scattering amplitudes in the nonrelativistic quark model using the ``quark Born diagram" formalism. This approach describes the scattering as a single interaction, here the one-gluon-exchange (OGE)…
Our ultimate goal is the construction of a model for interactions of two nuclei in the energy range between several tens of GeV up to several TeV per nucleon in the centre-of-mass system. Such nuclear collisions are very complex, being…
Despite its role in the continuing evolution of the Universe, only a small fraction of the mass of visible material can be attributed to the Higgs boson alone. The overwhelmingly dominant share may/should arise from the strong interactions…
