Comment on "Neutron Skin of Pb from Coherent Pion Photoproduction"
A. Gardestig, C. J. Horowitz, Gerald A. Miller
We argue that the reaction mechanism for the coherent pion production is not known with sufficient accuracy to determine the neutron radius of 208Pb to the claimed precision of 0.0…
Muon Capture on the Deuteron -- The MuSun Experiment
V. A. Andreev, R. M. Carey, V. A. Ganzha +28
We propose to measure the rate \Rd\ for muon capture on the deuteron to better than 1.5% precision. This process is the simplest weak interaction process on a nucleus that can both…
Extracting the neutron-neutron scattering length -- recent developments
Anders Gardestig
The experimental and theoretical issues and challenges for extracting the neutron-neutron scattering length are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on recent results and their…
Precision extraction of a_nn from pi- d --> n n gamma using chiral perturbation theory
A. Gardestig, D. R. Phillips
The neutron-neutron scattering length a_nn provides a sensitive probe of charge-symmetry breaking in the strong interaction. Here we summarize our recent efforts to use chiral pert…
Influence of the N*(1440) and N*(1535) Resonances in Intermediate Energy pp and np Scattering
A. Pricking, Ch. Elster, A. Gardestig +2
Motivated by a recent measurement of proton-proton elastic scattering observables up to 3.0 GeV, we investigate the description of those data within models of the nucleon-nucleon (…
Comparison of the heavy-fermion and Foldy-Wouthuysen formalisms at third order
A. Gardestig, K. Kubodera, F. Myhrer
We compare two non-relativistic (NR) reduction schemes (heavy-fermion and Foldy-Wouthuysen) that are used to derive low-energy effective-field-theory Lagrangians. We give the expli…
