In the framework of the one boson exchange model, we have calculated the effective potentials between two heavy mesons $B \bar{B}^{*}$ and $D \bar{D}^{*}$ from the t- and u-channel $\pi$, $\eta$, $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\sigma$ meson exchange…
Based on a counting scheme for the application of chiral perturbation theory to pion production in NN collisions p-wave production is studied. It is demonstrated that, contrary to the s-wave production where loops enter at too low an order…
We consider a system composed of a trapped atom and a trapped ion. The ion charge induces in the atom an electric dipole moment, which attracts it with an r^{-4} dependence at large distances. In the regime considered here, the…
A condition, at which the one-dimensional inverse power potential becomes reflectionless during propagation through it of a plane wave, is obtained on the basis of SUSY QM methods. A scattering of a particle on spherically symmetric inverse…
Inclusive measurements of pion production in proton--proton collisions in the forward direction were undertaken at 400 and 600 MeV at COSY using the Big Karl spectrograph. The high resolution in the $\pi^+$ momentum ensured that there was…
A campaign of intermediate energy (300-450 MeV/u) proton-induced nucleon knockout measurements in inverse kinematics has been recently undertaken at the R 3 B/LAND setup at GSI. We present a systematic theoretical analysis of these data…
Recently we have developed a novel chiral power counting scheme for an effective field theory of nuclear matter with nucleons and pions as degrees of freedom [1]. It allows for a systematic expansion taking into account both local as well…
A partial wave analysis of the centrally produced pi0pi0 channel has been performed in pp collisions using an incident beam momentum of 450 GeV/c. An unambiguous physical solution has been found. Evidence is found for the f0(980), f0(1300)…
The dibaryon concept for the nuclear force is presented, assuming that the main attraction between the nucleons at medium distances is determined by the $s$-channel exchange of an intermediate six-quark (dibaryon) state. To construct the…
We discuss the systematics of power counting in general effective field theories, focussing on those that are nonrenormalizable at leading order. As an illuminating example we consider chiral perturbation theory gauged under the…
Understanding pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions near threshold has been a challenge for the last decades. In particular, the reaction pp -> pppi0 is highly sensitive to short-range mechanisms, because isospin conservation…
The pion-baryon triangle diagram is inspected for a special kinematic region where the squared momentum transfer $t$ is close to $4m_\pi^2$: $|t - 4m_\pi^2| \lesssim m_\pi^4/m_N^2$. Instead of arguing on the ground of anomalous threshold,…
We calculate the contribution of the nucleon-nucleon tensor interaction to single-particle energies with finite-range $ G $ matrix potentials and with zero-range Skyrme potentials. The Skx Skyrme parameters including the zero-range tensor…
Pion exchange in S-wave between hadrons that are themselves in a relative S-wave can shift energies by hundreds of MeV. In the case of charmed mesons $D,D^*,D_0,D_1$ a spectroscopy of quasi-molecular states may arise consistent with…
The angular distributions of the unpolarised differential cross section and tensor analysing power $A_{xx}$ of the $\vec{d}d\to\alpha \eta$ reaction have been measured at an excess energy of 16.6 MeV. The ambiguities in the partial-wave…
Nucleon-nucleon (NN) forces from chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) are applied to systems with two, three and four nucleons. At NNLO, we consider two versions of the chiral…
We present and discuss a systematic calculation, based on two-loop chiral perturbation theory, of the pion-nuclear s-wave optical potential. A proper treatment of the explicit energy dependence of the off-shell pion self-energy together…
Scattering of protons with transversal polarization $p_y^p$ on deuterons with tensor polarization $P_{xz}$ provides a null-test signal for time-reversal (T) invariance violating but parity (P) conserving effects. We calculate the…
The variational principle is used to build a model which describes open shell nuclei with ground state deformations. Hartree-Fock equations are solved by using single particle wave functions whose radial parts depend on the projection of…
The problem of proton-antiproton motion in the ${\rm H}$--${\rm \bar{H}}$ system is investigated by means of the variational method. We introduce a modified nuclear interaction through mass-scaling of the Born-Oppenheimer potential. This…
