Phenomenological expressions are derived for rates of the $\Delta (1232)$ radiative and Dalitz decays, $\Delta (1232)$ $\to N\gamma$ and $\Delta (1232)$ $\to Ne^{+}e^{-}$. Earlier calculations of these decays are commented.
In this talk we cover several issues concerning pion production. The first one is the p p ----> p p pi^0 reaction where an alternative explanation based on the off shell extrapolation of the pi N amplitude is offered. A recent model for the…
The separation of background and resonance contributions in pion-nucleon scattering is an often discussed issue. We investigate to what extent the background can be separated from the pole contribution. For illustration we use results from…
The experimental mass data from the Atomic Mass Compilation - 2012 (AMC12) has been analyzed for two-neutron separation energies (S$_{2n}$), two-proton separation energies (S$_{2p}$), double-beta decay energies (Q$_{2\beta^-}$), and…
The S wave pion deuteron scattering length is presented at NLO in the Effective Field Theory formulation of the two nucleon system with perturbative pions. At this order, this observable is determined by the iso-scalar S wave pion nucleon…
We study the Delta I =3/2 and Delta S =2 amplitudes for hyperon decays of the form (B to B(prime) pion) at lowest order in chiral perturbation theory. At this order, the Delta I=3/2 amplitudes depend on only one constant. We extract the…
Long-established results for the low-energy photon-photon scattering, gamma gamma --> gamma gamma, have recently been questioned. We analyze that claim and demonstrate that it is inconsistent with experience. We demonstrate that the mistake…
Coulomb and mass difference corrections to low-energy pion-nucleon scattering are calculated and compared with previous work including potential models, dispersion relation methods and chiral perturbation theory calculations. Particular…
We demonstrate that CPT-violation due to $e^+ e^-$ mass difference generates a non-zero photon mass. As a result the cosmological bounds on the photon mass lead to the bounds on $e^+ e^-$ mass difference which are at least by 10 orders of…
We acknowledge a paper on the same subject by other authors, that we didn't have the chance to cite in our work. A few comments on the content of the two papers are made.
We review recent experiments on HD$^+$ spectroscopy. The reduced proton-deuteron mass to electron mass ratio, $\mu_{pd}/m_e$, is inferred from the comparison of theory and experiment. Theoretical issues related to the calculations of the…
We present a new derivation of the proton-electron mass ratio from the hydrogen molecular ion, HD$^+$. The derivation entails the adjustment of the mass ratio in highly precise theory so as to reproduce accurately measured ro-vibrational…
Recently, the LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay modes. An interesting question is whether this measurement can be…
I discuss the comparison of the current theoretical calculations of epsilon'/epsilon with the experimental data. Lacking reliable ``first principle'' calculations, phenomenological approaches may help in understanding correlations among…
We present updated values for the mass-mixing parameters relevant to neutrino oscillations, with particular attention to emerging hints in favor of theta_13>0. We also discuss the status of absolute neutrino mass observables, and a possible…
Here we consider a contribution of Delta(1232) resonance to real photon radiative corrections for elastic $ep$-scattering. The effect is found to be small for past experiments to study unpolarized cross section as well as for the recent…
Incoherent photoproduction of pions on the deuteron in the Delta(1232) resonance region is investigated in order to study the influence of final state NN and PiN rescattering. For the elementary production operator an effective Lagrangian…
The reaction pp -> dpi+eta has been measured at a beam energy of T=2.65 GeV (p=3.46 GeV/c) using the ANKE spectrometer at COSY-Juelich. The missing mass distribution of the detected dpi+ pairs exhibits a peak around the eta mass on top of a…
In the framework of the Schwinger-Dyson equation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the improved ladder approximation, we calculate the pi^+ - pi^0 mass difference on the same footing as the pion decay constant and the QCD S parameter (or…
