Effective thermal masses of bosonic particles in a plasma play an important role in many different phenomena. We compute them in general supersymmetric models at leading order. The origin of different corrections is explicitly shown for the…
We study the coherent photoproduction of pseudoscalar mesons---particularly of neutral pions---placing special emphasis on the various sources that put into question earlier nonrelativistic-impulse-approximation calculations. These include:…
