In many ways the pomeron is like the photon, but there are important differences. Factorisation allows us to define a pomeron structure function, even though the pomeron is not a particle. Although we have a model for the light-quark…

We perform a systematic study of two-meson form factors of the scalar, vector, and anti-symmetric tensor types within the framework of the $U(3)$ resonance chiral theory. The complete perturbative form factors in both the…
Dispersion relations provide a powerful tool to describe the low-energy structure of hadrons. We review the status of the strange vector form factors of the nucleon in dispersion theory. We also comment on open questions and the relation to…
In this work we review the formalism normally used in the literature about the effects of density-dependent magnetic fields on the properties of neutron and quark stars, expose some ambiguities that arise and propose a way to solve the…
A forward dispersion calculation is implemented for the spin polarizabilities $\gamma_1, ... ,\gamma_4$ of the proton and the neutron. These polarizabilities are related to the spin structure of the nucleon at low energies and are…
