The cross section asymmetry Σ in deuteron disintegration with linearly polarized light is considered in the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. Relativistic contributions to the asymmetry are investigated within the approximation, which takes into account the one-body part of the electromagnetic current operator and the dominant positive-energy partial amplitudes of the Bethe-Salpeter ve...

Recent progress is reviewed in four areas where new experimental data have been obtained: proton-proton bremsstrahlung, threshold pion production in proton-proton collisions, elastic electron-deuteron scattering and deuteron photodisintegration at several GeV photon energy. Relativistic effects are expected to be significant in these processes. High energy photodisintegration suggests that part...

Low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) in metals are described using conventional nuclear theory based on the optical theorem formulation. It can be applied to both deuteron and proton induced LENRs. Cryogenic ignition of deuteron fusion in metal particles is proposed as an alternative approach to clean fusion energy generation.

We provide evidence for a high precision model-independent low momentum nucleonnucleon interaction. Performing a momentum-space renormalization group decimation, we find that the effective interactions constructed from various high precision nucleon-nucleon interaction models, such as the Paris, Bonn, Nijmegen, Argonne, CD Bonn and Idaho potentials, are identical. This model-independent low mom...

The deuteron axial current is sensitive both to the form of the implementation of relativistic dynamics as well as to the details of the deuteron D state at moderate momentum transfer, making it a natural partner to the magnetic form factor for exploring details of nucleon-nucleon dynamics and associated electroweak properties.

We present some simple methods to find gluon distribution from analysis of deuteron F2 structure function data at moderately lowx. Here we use the leading order(LO) Altarelli -Parisi(AP) evolution equation and New Muon Collaboration (NMC) deuteron F2 structure function data to extract gluon distribution. We also compare our results with those of other authors. PACS:12.38.-t; 12.38.Aw; 13.60.Hb

The general form of the cross section as well as the polarizations of electron-deuteron elastic scattering are given. Two-photon exchange effects are analyzed. Possible signatures of the two-photon exchange effects in the electron-deuteron elastic scattering are discussed. PACS: 13.40.GP, 25.30.-c, 25.30.Bf, 24.70.+s, 13.60.Fz

Density fluctuations and correlations due to a first-order quark-gluon plasma hadronic matter phase transition its critical end point, if they remain present after the evolution in heavy ion collisions, can lead an enhanced production of light nuclei these collisions. This would then result non-monotonic collision energy dependence yield ratio $$N_\text {t} N_\text {p} / {d}^2$$ proton number {...
