Hadron properties in the nuclear medium

RS Hayano, T Hatsuda - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
The QCD vacuum shows the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry. In the hot and/or dense
QCD medium, the chiral order parameter such as⟨ q¯ q⟩ is expected to change as a …

Inclusive charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions

J Nieves, IR Simo, MJV Vacas - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2011 - APS
We present a model for weak charged-current induced nuclear reactions at energies of
interest for current and future neutrino oscillation experiments. This model is a natural …

Pions in nuclei, a probe of chiral symmetry restoration

P Kienle, T Yamazaki - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2004 - Elsevier
The recent progress in the study of the pion–nucleus s-wave interaction by the discovery of
discrete excited states below the pion threshold in heavy nuclei is reviewed. These states …

Inclusive quasielastic charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions

J Nieves, JE Amaro, M Valverde - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2004 - APS
The quasielastic (QE) contribution of the nuclear inclusive electron scattering model
developed by Gil, Nieves, and Oset [Nucl. Phys. A627, 543 (1997); A627, 599 (1997)] is …

The nucleon axial mass and the MiniBooNE quasielastic neutrino–nucleus scattering problem

J Nieves, IR Simo, MJV Vacas - Physics Letters B, 2012 - Elsevier
The charged-current double differential neutrino cross section, measured by the MiniBooNE
Collaboration, has been analyzed using a microscopical model that accounts for, among …

Progress and open questions in the physics of neutrino cross sections at intermediate energies

L Alvarez-Ruso, Y Hayato, J Nieves - New Journal of Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
New and more precise measurements of neutrino cross sections have renewed interest in a
better understanding of electroweak interactions on nucleons and nuclei. This effort is …

Electron-and neutrino-nucleus scattering from the quasielastic to the resonance region

T Leitner, O Buss, L Alvarez-Ruso, U Mosel - Physical Review C—Nuclear …, 2009 - APS
We present a model for electron and neutrino scattering off nucleons and nuclei focusing on
the quasielastic and resonance region. The lepton-nucleon reaction is described within a …

Neutrino energy reconstruction and the shape of the charged current<? format?> quasielastic-like total cross section

J Nieves, F Sanchez, IR Simo, MJV Vacas - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2012 - APS
We show that because of the multinucleon mechanism effects, the algorithm used to
reconstruct the neutrino energy is not adequate when dealing with quasielastic-like events …

Critical view on the deeply bound system

VK Magas, E Oset, A Ramos, H Toki - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2006 - APS
We briefly review the situation around the claimed deeply bound K-states in different recent
experiments and concentrate particularly on the state K-pp advocated by the FINUDA …

Chiral dynamics of deeply bound pionic atoms

EE Kolomeitsev, N Kaiser, W Weise - Physical review letters, 2003 - APS
We present and discuss a systematic calculation, based on two-loop chiral perturbation
theory, of the pion-nuclear s-wave optical potential. A proper treatment of the explicit energy …
