Within the conventional QCD sum rules, we calculate the $\pi NN$ coupling constant, $g_{\pi N}$, beyond the chiral limit using two-point correlation function with a pion. We consider the Dirac structure, $i\gamma_5$, at $m_\pi^2$ order,…
We have analyzed pion-nucleon scattering using the manifestly relativistic covariant framework of Infrared Regularization up to {\cal O}(q^3) in the chiral expansion, where q is a generic small momentum. We describe the low-energy phase…
We point out two flaws in the recent test of nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials conducted by Stoks and de Swart. First, in some cases, the neutron-proton ($np$) version of an NN potential was compared to the proton-proton ($pp$) data, which is…
We use QCD sum rules for the three point function of a pseudoscalar and two nucleonic currents in order to estimate the charge dependence of the pion nucleon coupling constant $g_{NN\pi}$ coming from isospin violation in the strong…
The longest-range part of the nuclear force due to the one-pion exchange governs the energy dependence of the scattering amplitude in the near-threshold region and imposes correlations between the coefficients in the effective range…

Predictions of the existence of well-defined deeply bound pionic atom states for heavy nuclei and the eventual observation of such states by the (d,3He) reaction have revived interest in the pion-nucleus interaction at threshold and in its…
In this article, we present the charged and neutral current coherent pion production in the neutrino-nucleus interaction in the resonance region using the formalism based on the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) theorem which relates…
The dispersive determination of $\pi{Y}\Sigma$ coupling constants ($Y = \Lambda, \Sigma$) and the implications for low-energy $\bar{K}N$ analysis are discussed. (Presented by G. Violini at the "7th Int. Symp. on Meson-Nucleon Physics and…
Different approaches to describe Compton scattering and the polarizability of the nucleon have been discussed up to now. We show that the most appropriate ones are provided by non-subtracted dispersion theories of the fixed-$t$ and…
We undertake a simultaneous partial wave analysis to proton-proton and neutron-proton scattering data below pion production threshold up to LAB energies of 350MeV. We represent the interaction as a sum of delta-shells in configuration space…
The pion-nucleon coupling constant $g_{\pi N}$ is studied on the basis of the QCD sum rules. Both the Borel sum rules and the finite energy sum rules for $g_{\pi N}$ are used to examine the effects of higher dimensional operators (up to…
We extend our previous study of elastic pion-nucleon scattering in the framework of chiral perturbation theory by performing a combined analysis of the reactions $\pi N \to \pi N$ and $\pi N \to \pi \pi N$. The calculation is carried out to…
The experimental discovery that the nucleus is approximately transparent to low energy pions is reviewed. The consequences of this for nuclear deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan interactions are discussed. I argue that low energy…
Some of the recent attempts to detect signals of nucleon-nucleon correlations with semi-exclusive A(e,e'p) and exclusive A(e,e'pN) processes are reviewed. Unfactorized and distorted-wave calculations for these processes are discussed. The…
We compute pion-nucleon scattering at tree-level within a gauged linear sigma model which contains the nucleon and its chiral partner. Such an investigation in principle allows to make definite predictions as to whether the main…
Simple generic aspects of nuclear pairing in homogeneous medium as well as in finite nuclei are discussed. It is argued that low-energy nuclear structure is not sensitive enough to resolve fine details of nuclear nucleon-nucleon (NN)…
In a previous paper, some deviations were found in the O(p^6) low-energy constants that contribute to the pi pi-scattering lengths. This work completes the study of all the relevant couplings (r_1, ... r_6, r_S2). We also perform a…
We evaluate the $\pi N$ coupling constant using a QCD sum rule based on the pion-to-vacuum matrix element of the correlator of two interpolating nucleon fields. The part of the correlator with Dirac structure $k\llap/\gamma_5$ is used,…
Ab initio calculations in Nuclear physics for atomic nuclei require a specific knowledge of the interactions among their constituents, protons and neutrons. In particular, NN interactions can be constrained down to scale resolutions of…
