An old calculation of the s-wave pi-pi scattering lengths is updated and supplemented with experimental data on the pi-pi s-wave phase shift. The results ma0 = .215 and ma2 = -.039 are in excellent agreement with those obtained from a…
The amplitude analysis has been performed on the pi0 pi0 final state obtained in the pi- p charge exchange process. The pi0 pi0 scattering amplitudes have been obtained for the S and D waves by the Chew-Low extrapolation and the partial…
An analysis is presented of elastic $P$-wave $\pi\pi$ phase shifts and inelasticities up to 2 GeV, aimed at identifying the corresponding $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ excited $\rho$ resonances and focusing on the $\rho(1250)$ vs. $\rho(1450)$…
The COMPASS collaboration at CERN has investigated pion Compton scattering, $\pi^-\gamma\rightarrow \pi^-\gamma$, at centre-of-mass energy below 3.5 pion masses. The process is embedded in the reaction…
This article completes a former work where part of the O(p^6) low-energy constants entering in the pi pi scattering were estimated. Some resonance contributions were missed in former calculations and slight differences appeared with respect…
We calculate polarization phenomena for virtual Compton scattering on protons, at relatively large momentum transfer 1 GeV$^2$ $\le -q^2\le$ 5 GeV$^2$ on the basis of a model for $\gamma^*+ p\to \gamma+p$ with two main contributions:…
We present a partial-wave analysis of the polarization data for the reaction $\vec{p}\vec{p}\to pp\pi^\circ$, based solely on the recent measurements at IUCF for this channel. The fit leads to a $\chi^2$ per degree of freedom of 1.7.…
A partial wave analysis of the centrally produced eta pi0 and eta pi- channels has been performed in pp collisions using an incident beam momentum of 450 GeV/c. Clear a0(980) and a2(1320) signals have been observed in S and D+ waves…
Within the one-loop approximation of baryon chiral perturbation theory we calculate all one-pion and two-pion exchange contributions to the nucleon-nucleon interaction. In fact we construct the elastic NN-scattering amplitude up to and…
We provide a statistically significant observation of the elusive Odderon exchange, based on novel and model-independent analysis of the scaling properties of the differential cross sections of elastic $pp$ and $p\bar p$ scattering in the…
The available data on the forward charge exchange of nucleons on the deuteron up to 2GeV per nucleon are reviewed. The value of the inclusive nd->pnn/np->pn cross section ratio is sensitive to the fraction of spin-independent neutron-proton…
A study of the $\pi^0\pi^0$ system produced in charge exchange $\pi^-p$ collisions at 38 and 100 GeV/c and in central $pp$ interactions at 450 GeV/c has been carried out. The $S$ wave has rather a complicated structure in both processes…
Measurements of the ratio of the proton elastic form factors ($\mu_pG_E/G_M$) using Rosenbluth separation and those using polarization-based techniques show a strong discrepancy, which increases as a function of $Q^2$. The contribution of…
The modified additive quark model, proposed recently, allows to improve agreement of the standard additive quark model with the data on the $pp, \bar pp, \pi^{\pm} p, \gamma p$ and $\gamma \gamma$ total cross-sections, as well as on the…
We use our former results on pi+pi- S-wave obtained in a nearly assumption-free way from the 17.2 GeV/c data to predict the pi0pi0 S--wave. The predictions are compared with the recent results of the E852 experiment at 18.3 GeV/c. A good…
Using a unified analytic representation for the elastic scattering amplitudes of pp scattering valid for all energy region, the behavior of observables in the LHC collisions in the range $\sqrt{s}$= 2.76 - 14 TeV is discussed. Similarly to…
The main purpose of scattering experiments is to unveil the underlying structure of the colliding particles and their interaction. Typically one measures scattering observables (cross sections and polarizations) at discrete angles and…
The $NN$ scattering near inelastic threshold is sensitive to the long-range diagonal interaction in the produced isobar channel. Earlier models included meson exchange potentials in the $NN$ sector and connecting that sector to isobar…
