Elastic scattering of alpha-particle and some tightly-bound light nuclei has shown the pattern of rainbow scattering at medium energies, which is due to the refraction of the incident wave by a strongly attractive nucleus-nucleus potential.…
We argue that, in many situations, fits to elastic scattering data that were historically, and frequently still are, considered `good', are not justifiably so describable. Information about the dynamics of nucleon-nucleus and…
The status of the solar neutrino problem is reviewed. Attempts to explain the observed deficit and spectral distortion, both by astrophysical and particle physics methods, are described. It is argued that the comparison of all experiments…
In connection with a review article on inclusive quasi-elastic electron-nucleus scattering submitted to Reviews of Modern Physics, we have collected as many cross sections as possible, and placed them in an web-archive. This brief note is…
I review the main features of the color charge degree of freedom in particle physics, sketch the paradox in the early quark model that led to color, give a personal perspective on the discovery of color and describe the introduction of the…
Light is known to exhibit quantum uncertainty in terms of its amplitude, phase, and polarization. However, quantum uncertainty related to coherence, which is also a fundamental physical property of light, has not been considered to date.…
The standard first-order inelastic correction (IC) well known in the pre-QCD era, causes a rising $Q^2$-dependence of nuclear transparency in the quasielastic electron scattering, $A(e,e'p)A'$, at moderate $Q^2$, similar to what is supposed…
A survey is given on the current status of the theoretical description of unpolarized and polarized deep--inelastic scattering processes in Quantum Chromodynamics at large virtualities.
We examine the potential of the COMPASS experiment at CERN to study color transparency via exclusive vector meson production in hard muon-nucleus scattering. It is demonstrated that COMPASS has high sensitivity to test this important…

Photon-based spectroscopies have had a significant impact on both fundamental science and applications by providing an efficient approach to investigate the microscopic physics of materials. Together with the development of synchrotron…

Topological properties of crystals and quasicrystals is a subject of recent and growing interest. This Letter reports an experiment where, for certain quasicrystals, these properties can be directly retrieved from diffraction. We directly…
The recent theoretical developments in the field of neutrino-nucleus interactions in the few-GeV region are reviewed based on the presentations made at the NuInt09 Workshop. The topics of electron scattering and its connections with…
Quantum theory is proposed of high energy electrons scattering in ultrathin crystals. This theory is based upon a special representation of the scattering amplitude in the form of the integral over the surface surrounding the crystal, and…
I review recent progress in our understanding of the color superconducting phase of matter above nuclear density, giving particular emphasis to the effort to find observable signatures of the presence of this phase in compact stars.
A relativistic distorted-wave impulse-approximation model is applied to neutral-current and charged-current quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. The effects of final state interactions are investigated and the sensitivity of the…
The IceCube collaboration has recently identified events due to ultrahigh-energy neutrino interactions. Predictions of the neutrino-nucleon cross section at ultrahigh energies require a huge extrapolation of the cross sections…
The relation between GPD's and color transparency is explored. The discovery of color transparency in pionic diffractive dissociation reactions allows us to make specific predictions for the behavior of the pion generalized parton…
We calculate quasi-exclusive scattering of a virtual photon and a proton or pion in nuclear targets. This is the first complete calculation of ``color transparency" and "nuclear filtering " in perturbative QCD. The calculation includes full…
