A simple model, based on two parallel and independent N N -> d pi processes, has recently been proposed for two-pion production in the d d -> alpha X reaction. It reproduces all observed features, including the sharp peak structure in…
Available data on large-angle nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering $Nd\to dN$ below the pion threshold give a signal for three-body forces. There is a problem of separation of possible subtle aspects of these forces from off-shell effects in…

We investigate the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon potential as obtained in chiral effective field theory. By using resonance saturation we compare the chiral potential to the more traditional one-meson exchange potential. In particular,…
