We analyze nuclear effects in the deep inelastic scattering on deuteron in the framework of the covariant approach. It is shown that this approach gives us the way to investigate the role of relativistic effects in the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) on deuteron, such as the relativistic kinematics and the off-mass-shell behavior of the Compton amplitude of nucleon in the consistent manner. We ...

We consider deuteron formation in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies. The elementary reaction rates (Nd → NNN etc.) in this context are calculated using rigorous Faddeev methods. To this end an in-medium Faddeev equation that consistently includes the energy shift and Pauli blocking effects has been derived and solved numerically. As a first application we have calculated the life-ti...

We investigate the sensitivity of J/Ψ production in proton-neutron and proton-deuteron collisions to charge symmetry violations in the parton distributions as well as to nuclear corrections. It is found that the effects of charge symmetry violations in the quark distributions are confined to large xF and difficult to measure in experiments currently being planned. However, from proton-deuteron ...

Threshold neutral pion electroproduction on the deuteron is studied in the framework of baryon chiral perturbation theory at next–to–leading order in the chiral expansion. To this order in small momenta, the amplitude is finite and a sum of two– and three–body interactions with no undetermined parameters. We calculate the S–wave multipoles for threshold production and the deuteron S–wave cross ...

The muonic hydrogen experiment measuring the 2P-2S transition energy [R. Pohl et al., Nature (London) 466, 213 (2010)] is significantly discrepant with theoretical predictions based on quantum electrodynamics. A possible approach to resolve this conundrum is to compare experimental values with theoretical predictions in another system, muonic deuterium μD. The only correction which might be que...

Pionless effective field theory with dibaryon fields is reexamined for observables involving the deuteron. The electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron and the total cross sections of radiative neutron capture on the proton, n p → d γ, are calculated. The low energy constants of vector(photon)-dibaryon-dibaryon vertices in the effective lagrangian are fixed primarily by the one-body vector(...

Radiative capture of the K by the deuteron is examined as a reaction for measurement of the Λ-neutron scattering lengths. Using the final state interaction, analogous to measurements of the radiative capture of pions by deuterium, the scattering lengths of both the triplet and singlet Λ-n interaction can be inferred. The problem of the separation of these two fundamental parameters without and ...
