The ''twin birth'' of a positron and an electron by a photon in the presence of a nucleus, known as Bethe-Heitler pair production, is a key process in astroparticle physics. The Bethe-Heitler process offers a way of channeling energy stored…

We study the electromagnetic Bethe-Heitler type contribution to neutrino-induced deeply virtual meson production (\nuDVMP). Such O(\alpha_{em})-corrections decrease with Q^{2} in the Bjorken regime less steeply than the standard \nuDVMP…

We investigate the extension of the deeply virtual Compton scattering process into the weak interaction sector.
We study elementary processes for production of dileptons from nucleons, either through NN bremsstrahlung or through photon-induced reactions. We emphasize the dependence of the expected cross-sections on the electromagnetic formfactor of…
