The empirical value of the real part of the pion-deuteron scattering length can be well understood in terms of the dominant isovector $\pi N$-double scattering contribution. We calculate in chiral perturbation theory all one-pion loop…

An unusual but effective way to determine at threshold the dpi -> NN transition strength is to exploit the hadronic ground-state broadening in pionic deuterium, accessible by x-ray spectroscopy. The broadening is dominated by the true…
In heavy nuclei the spatial distribution of protons and neutrons is different. At CERN SPS energies production of $\pi^+$ and $\pi^-$ differs for $pp$, $pn$, $np$ and $nn$ scattering. These two facts lead to an impact parameter dependence…
Scattering of protons with transversal polarization $p_y^p$ on deuterons with tensor polarization $P_{xz}$ provides a null-test signal for time-reversal (T) invariance violating but parity (P) conserving effects. We calculate the…
We have identified several important features in the neutron scattering data of cuprates, which are difficult to be explained in terms of d-wave and isotropic s-wave order parameters. Alternatively, we show that the neutron data are in…
We present the results of a search for relations between observables that are independent of the Chiral Pertubation Theory (ChPT) Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) Low-Energy Constants (LECs). We have found some relations between…
We calculate the strong coupling constants g_(P^(**)P^(*)\pi), where P^(**)(D^(**), B^(**)) is the 1^+ p-wave state, in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules, and using these values of g_(P^(**)P^(*) pi, we compute the hadronic…
In his recent publication of a NN phase shift analysis below 160 MeV, Henneck reports relatively large values for the mixing parameter $\epsilon_1$. Based on these results, Henneck suggests that the strength of the $\rho$-meson tensor…
A formalism has been developed for calculating the signal of violation of $T$ invariance, provided that $P$ invariance is preserved during the scattering of tensor-polarized deuterons on vector-polarized ones based on the Glauber theory…

The large values of the singlet and triplet scattering lengths locate the two-nucleon system close to the unitary limit, the limit in which these two values diverge. As a consequence, the system shows a continuous scale invariance which…
The spin transfer from vertically polarized beam protons to Lambda or Sigma hyperons of the associated strangeness production pp -> pK Lambda (Sigma) is described with the depolarization coefficient D_NN. As the polarization of the hyperons…

A non-zero signal $A_\gamma^\mathrm{np}=(-3.0\pm1.4\pm0.2)\times 10^{-8}$ of the gamma-ray asymmetry in the neutron-proton capture was recently reported by the NPDGamma Collaboration which provides the first determination of the $\Delta…

A general prescription for the construction of $\pi \pi$ interaction potentials which preserve scattering length constraints from chiral symmetry when iterated in scattering equations is derived. The prescription involves only minor…
