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…
A measurement of charged hadron pair correlations in two-dimensional $\Delta\eta\Delta\phi$ space is presented. The analysis is based on total 30 million central Be+Be collisions observed in the NA61/SHINE detector at the CERN SPS for…
We study global features of proton-neutron (p-n) interactions and symmetry energy over a wide range of nuclei, using a schematic model interaction with four forces proposed recently. Calculations are performed by the BCS approximation in…
This study presents a systematic investigation of the effects of isospin, including both T=0 and T=/0 components, on nucleon pairing correlations in fp-shell nuclei. To this aim, the interacting boson model-4, which explicitly incorporates…
We consider a two-nucleon system described by two different skyrmion models that provide attraction for the central NN potential. One of these models is based on the product ansatz and the other on dilaton coupling. Within these models we…
Based on available experimental data, a new set of Nilsson parameters is proposed for proton-rich nuclei with proton or neutron numbers $28\leq N\leq 40$. The resulting single-particle spectra are compared with those from relativistic and…
Four different combinations of $^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr nuclei, both as projectile and target, were investigated at the same bombarding energy of 400$A$ MeV using a $4 \pi$ detector. The degree of isospin mixing between projectile…
The spin correlation parameters, polarization - $A_{N}$ and double spin correlation parameters - $A_{NN}$, are calculated in the framework of dynamical model (GKS) of the hadron-hadron interection in the whole region of small angles and for…
Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict the existence of new Abelian forces with new gauge bosons mediating interactions between "dark sectors" and the Standard Model. We report a search for a dark boson Z' coupling only to…
We calculate the $^1S_0$ pairing gap in nuclear matter by adopting the "in-medium Bonn potential" proposed by Rapp et al. [e-print nucl-th/9706006], which takes into account the in-medium meson mass decrease, as the particle-particle…
We study the binding energy differences of the valence proton and neutron of the mirror nuclei, $^{15}$O - $^{15}$N, $^{17}$F - $^{17}$O, $^{39}$Ca - $^{39}$K and $^{41}$Sc - $^{41}$Ca, using the quark-meson coupling model. The calculation…
We study the possibility of $\rho-a_0$ mixing via N-N excitations in dense nuclear matter. This mixing is found to induce a peak in the dilepton spectra at an invariant mass equal to that of the $a_0$. We calculate the cross section for…
We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry $A_n$ in the elastic scattering of 1-3 GeV transversely polarized electrons from $^1$H and for the first time from $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{208}$Pb. For $^1$H, $^4$He and $^{12}$C, the…
We present the combined results on electron-pair production in 158 GeV/n {Pb-Au} ($\sqrt{s}$= 17.2 GeV) collisions taken at the CERN SPS in 1995 and 1996, and give a detailed account of the data analysis. The enhancement over the reference…
It has been very recently reported (McKeen, Pospelov, arXive:1011.3046) that the parameter region suggested for an explanation of the neutrino oscillation results from the LSND, KARMEN and MiniBooNE experiments in terms of the production…
The reactions of electron-positron to nucleon-antinucleon pair at energy threshold are studied in a non-perturbative quark model. The puzzling experimental result that the ratio of the cross section of electron-positron to proton-antiproton…
The enhancement in the dilepton spectrum observed in heavy-ion collisions for invariant electron-positron masses in the range 0.15 GeV/c$^2 < M_{e^+e^-} <$ 0.6 GeV/c$^2$ has recently been traced back to a corresponding enhancement in $pn$…
Strong interactions preserve an approximate isospin symmetry between up ($u$) and down ($d$) quarks, part of the more general flavor symmetry. In the case of $K$ meson production, if this isospin symmetry were exact, it would result in…
The asymmetry parameter P was measured for the elastic pion-proton scattering in the very backward angular region of theta_cm ~ 150-170^o at several pion beam energies in the invariant mass range containing most of the pion-proton…
We propose signals in the cosmic microwave background to probe the type and spectrum of neutrino masses. In theories that have spontaneous breaking of approximate lepton flavor symmetries at or below the weak scale, light pseudo-Goldstone…
