The $\gamma n \to \pi^0 n$ differential cross section evaluated for 27 energy bins span the photon-energy range 290-813 MeV (W = 1.195-1.553 GeV) and the pion c.m. polar production angles, ranging from 18 deg to 162 deg, making use of…
The cross section for the reaction $ e p \to e^{\prime} p \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ was measured in the resonance region for 1.4$<$W$<$2.1 GeV and 0.5$<Q^{2}<$1.5 GeV$^{2}$/c$^{2}$ using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. The data shows…
A recent article on generalised linear mixed model asymptotics, Jiang et al. (2022), derived the rates of convergence for the asymptotic variances of maximum likelihood estimators. If $m$ denotes the number of groups and $n$ is the average…
Elaborating on a previous letter, we use a new approach to compute energy levels of a non-relativistic bound-state of two constituents, with masses m and M, by systematic expansions - one in powers of m/M and another in powers of (1-m/M).…
We present a phenomenological model for the $\gamma\gamma \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ reaction by including the production mechanism of the $a_2(1320)$ resonance, as well as the contributions from the $\sigma/f_0(500)\, \pi^0$ and $f_2(1270)\,…
The recoil proton polarization has been measured in the p (\vec e,e'\vec p) pi^0 reaction in parallel kinematics around W = 1232 MeV, Q^2 = 0.121 (GeV/c)^2 and epsilon = 0.718 using the polarized c.w. electron beam of the Mainz Microtron.…
The fractional wave equation governs the propagation of mechanical diffusive waves in viscoelastic media which exhibits a power-law creep, and consequently provided a physical interpretation of this equation in the framework of dynamic…
This paper is devoted to the $L^2$ norm error estimate of the Adini element for the biharmonic equation. Surprisingly, a lower bound is established which proves that the $ L^2$ norm convergence rate can not be higher than that in the energy…
A phenomenological analysis of $K\to \pi\pi\gamma$ ($K_L\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ and $K^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\gamma$) with the direct emission photon is carried out beyond the leading order in the chiral perturbation theory. We show that the…
The production of $\eta'$ mesons in the reactions $\gamma p\to p\eta'$ and $pp\to pp\eta'$ is described consistently within a relativistic meson exchange model of hadronic interactions. The photoproduction can be described quite well over…
It is shown that the pi^0 transition form factor F(Q_1^2,Q_2^2) differs substantially from its one-real-photon limit F(Q_1^2,0) even for rather small values of Q_2^2 (approx 0.1 GeV^2), which cannot be excluded in experiments with one…
Systematic error in determination of the absolute intensities of the two-step gamma-cascades after the thermal neutron capture and its influence on the value and localization of extracted from (n,2gamma)-reaction probable level densities…
We correct the fitting formula used in refs. [1,2] to obtain a robust limit on a violation of Lorentz invariance that depends linearly on the photon energy. The correction leads to a slight increase of the limit on the scale of the…
The amplitudes of $\pi$-meson decays are calculated in a relativistic nonperturbative quark model which assumes that mesons are made of a quark antiquark pair and of a scalar neutral component representing the contribution of the…
The decay $\tau\to \pi\pi\pi\nu$ is analysed using different methods to account for the resonance structure, which is usually ascribed to the a1. One scenario is based on the recently developed techniques to generate axial-vector resonances…
The influence of systematic errors on the calculation of the statistical significance of a $\gamma$-ray signal with the frequently invoked Li and Ma method is investigated. A simple criterion is derived to decide whether the Li and Ma…
The apparent gap between the measured and the expected value for the semileptonic branching ratio of $B$ mesons has become more serious over the last year. This is due to the improved quality of the data and to the increasing maturity of…
We present the first ab initio calculation of a radiative transition of a hadronic resonance within quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We compute the amplitude for $\pi\pi \to \pi\gamma^\star$, as a function of the energy of the $\pi\pi$ pair…
Results from a partial-wave analysis of the reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow K^+ \Lambda$ are presented. The reaction is dominated by the $S_{11}(1650)$ and $P_{13}(1720)$ resonances at low energies and by $P_{13}(1900)$ at higher energies.…
We observe a narrow enhancement near 2mp in the invariant mass spectrum of ppbar pairs from radiative J/psi-->gamma ppbar decays. The enhancement can be fit with either an S- or P-wave Breit Wigner fuction. In the case of the S-wave fit,…
