We show theoretical results for $(\gamma, \pi^0 \pi^0)$ production on nucleons and nuclei in the kinematical region where the scalar isoscalar $\pi \pi$ amplitude is influenced by the $\sigma$ pole. The final state interaction of the pions…
We present theoretical results for $(\gamma, \pi^0 \pi^0)$ production on nucleons and nuclei in the kinematical region where the scalar isoscalar $\pi \pi$ amplitude is influenced by the $\sigma$ pole. The final state interaction of the…
We study the modification of the nucleon nucleon interaction in a nuclear medium in the scalar isoscalar channel, mediated by the exchange of two correlated ($\sigma$ channel) or uncorrelated pions. For this purpose we use a standard…
A meson exchange model of the $\pi\pi$ interaction which fits free $\pi\pi$ scattering data is used to calculate the interactions of pions in nuclear matter as a function of nuclear density. Polarization of the nuclear medium by the pions…
We show that the tail of the chiral two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potential is proportional to the $\pi N$ scalar form factor and discuss how it can be translated into effective scalar meson interactions. We then construct a kernel for…
We present theoretical results for (gamma,pi0 pi0) and (gamma,pi+- pi0) production on nucleons and nuclei in the kinematical region where the scalar isoscalar pi pi amplitude is influenced by the sigma pole. The final state interaction of…
We study the static scalar susceptibility of the nuclear medium, i.e., the change of the quark condensate for a small modification of the quark mass. In the linear sigma model it is linked to the in-medium sigma propagator. At ordinary…
We study the nuclear modification of the scalar QCD susceptibility, calculated as the derivative of the quark condensate with respect to the quark mass. We show that it has two origins. One is the low lying nuclear excitations. At normal…
The central two-pion exchange NN potential at large distances is studied in the framework of relativistic chiral symmetry and related directly to the nucleon scalar form factor, which describes the mass density of its pion cloud. This…
A microscopic model for the $N\bar N\to\pi\pi$ process is presented in the meson exchange framework, which in the pseudophysical region agrees with available quasiempirical information. The scalar ($\sigma$) and vector ($\rho$) piece of…
We discuss various aspects of pion physics in the nuclear medium. We first study s-wave pion-nucleus interaction in connection with chiral symmetry restoration and quark condensate in the nuclear medium. We then adress the question of…
The s-wave isoscalar amplitude for pion-pion scattering in a nuclear medium is evaluated using a nonperturbative unitary coupled channels method and the standard chiral Lagrangians. The method has proved successful to describe the pion-pion…
Recent experimental results show a large enhancement of the 2 pion emission on the scalar isoscalar channel, which had been predicted by some theoretical estimates. We present here a detailed calculation of the A(pi, 2pi)X process…
A model for the pion photoproduction on nuclei in the $A\left({\gamma ,\, \pi NN} \right)B$ reaction is presented. This is an extension of our recent model for the $A\left({\gamma ,\, \pi N} \right)B$ reaction. In this approach we have…
The inclusive A(gamma,pi+ pi-)X reaction is studied theoretically. A sizeable enhancement of the cross section is found, in comparison with the scaling of the deuteron cross section (sigma_deuteron * A/2). This enhancement is due to the…
In this talk we report on two physical processes, the photoproduction of $\rho$ mesons in nuclei and the $\pi^0 \pi^0$ photoproduction in nuclei at low energies. In the first case the aim is to observe experimentally the theoretically…
We discuss the two-pion exchange potential which emerges from a box diagram with one nucleon (the spectator) restricted to its mass shell, and the other nucleon line replaced by a subtracted, covariant $\pi N$ scattering amplitude which…
We discuss medium modifications of the unitarized pion-pion interaction in the nuclear medium. We incorporate both the effects of chiral symmetry restoration and the influence of collective nuclear pionic modes, originating from the p-wave…
We investigate the modification of the pion-cloud in the nuclear medium and its effect on the nuclear Drell-Yan process. The pion's in-medium self-energy is calculated in a self-consistent delta-hole model, with particle-hole contribution…
The scalar-isoscalar term in the two-pion exchange $NN$ potential is abnormally large and does not respect the hierarchy of effects predicted by chiral perturbation theory. We argue that this anomaly is associated with non-perturbative…
