چکیده
The flavour violating neutrinoless muon decays in the presence of nuclei, are discussed. We focus on the theoretical aspects of µ − (A, Z) → e − (A, Z) * (muon to electron conversion), one of the most prominent flavour changing reactions, emphasizing its connection with the physics beyond the standard model. This process offers the most severe limits of the lepton flavour violation. By using the nuclear transition matrix elements calculated with several methods, and the recent experimental data of the branching ratio R µe − , we determine limits for the flavour changing parameters entering the elementary sector part of R µe −. These results are discussed in view of the ongoing experiment at PSI and the designed at Brookhaven, which are expected to push down by some orders of magnitude the experimental sensitivity the next few years with the hope to see " new physics " .

Chiral symmetry serves as a guiding principle in low-energy hadron dynamics. An effective lagrangian, which explicitly breaks chiral symmetry via a small mass term, allows for a systematic method of calculating higher order corrections to tree-level results. This is applied to radiative muon capture on hydrogen, and to proton-proton π 0 production near threshold. Both processes pose theoretical...

Different modern phase shift equivalent NN potentials are tested by evaluating the partial wave decomposition of the kinetic and potential energy of the deuteron. Significant differences are found, which are traced back to the matrix elements of the potentials at medium and large momenta. The influence of the localisation of the one-pion-exchange contribution to these potentials is analyzed in ...

We derive large-amplitude collective equations of motion from the variational principle for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. These equations reduce to the well-known diabatic formulas for vibrational frequencies in the small amplitude limit. The finite amplitude expression allows departures from harmonic behavior of giant resonances to be simply estimated. The relative shift of the seco...
