Correction to the Moliere's formula for multiple scattering
The quasiclassical correction to the Moliere's formula for multiple
scattering is derived. The consideration is based on the scattering amplitude,
obtained with the first quasiclassical correction taken into account for
arbitrary localized but not spherically symmetric potential. Unlike the leading
term, the correction to the Moliere's formula contains the target density
and thickness not only in the combination (areal density). Therefore,
this correction can be reffered to as the bulk density correction. It turns out
that the bulk density correction is small even for high density. This result
explains the wide region of applicability of the Moliere's formula.Comment: 6 pages, RevTe
Identification of a protein encoded in the EB-viral open reading frame BMRF2
Using monospecific rabbit sera against a peptide derived from a potential antigenic region of the Epstein-Barr viral amino acid sequence encoded in the open reading frame BMRF2 we could identify a protein-complex of 53/55 kDa in chemically induced B95-8, P3HR1 and Raji cell lines. This protein could be shown to be membrane-associated, as predicted by previous computer analysis of the secondary structure and hydrophilicity pattern, and may be a member of EBV-induced membrane proteins in lytically infected cells
Multiple Conclusion Rules in Logics with the Disjunction Property
We prove that for the intermediate logics with the disjunction property any
basis of admissible rules can be reduced to a basis of admissible m-rules
(multiple-conclusion rules), and every basis of admissible m-rules can be
reduced to a basis of admissible rules. These results can be generalized to a
broad class of logics including positive logic and its extensions, Johansson
logic, normal extensions of S4, n-transitive logics and intuitionistic modal
logics
Low Energy Pion-Hyperon Interaction
We study the low energy pion-hyperon interaction considering effective
non-linear chiral invariant Lagrangians including pions, rho mesons, hyperons
and corresponding resonances. Then we calculate the S- and P-wave phase-shifts,
total cross sections, angular distributions and polarizations for the momentum
in the center-of-mass frame up to k=400 MeV. With these results we discuss the
CP violation in the csi-> pi-lambda and omega-> pi-csi weak decays.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
Consistent off-shell vertex and nucleon self-energy
We present a consistent calculation of half-off-shell form factors in the
pion-nucleon vertex and the nucleon self-energy. Numerical results are
presented. Near the on-shell point the pion-nucleon vertex is dominated by the
pseudovector coupling, while at large nucleon invariant masses we find a
sizable pseudoscalar admixture.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, REVTeX, submitted to Phys. Rev. C, replaced with

Vector meson production and nucleon resonance analysis in a coupled-channel approach for energies m_N < sqrt(s) < 2 GeV I: pion-induced results and hadronic parameters
We present a nucleon resonance analysis by simultaneously considering all
pion- and photon-induced experimental data on the final states gamma N, pi N, 2
pi N, eta N, K Lambda, K Sigma, and omega N for energies from the nucleon mass
up to sqrt(s) = 2 GeV. In this analysis we find strong evidence for the
resonances P_{31}(1750), P_{13}(1900), P_{33}(1920), and D_{13}(1950). The
omega N production mechanism is dominated by large P_{11}(1710) and
P_{13}(1900) contributions. In this first part, we present the results of the
pion-induced reactions and the extracted resonance and background properties
with emphasis on the difference between global and purely hadronic fits.Comment: 54 pages, 26 figures, discussion extended, typos corrected,

Dressing the nucleon in a dispersion approach
We present a model for dressing the nucleon propagator and vertices. In the
model the use of a K-matrix approach (unitarity) and dispersion relations
(analyticity) are combined. The principal application of the model lies in
pion-nucleon scattering where we discuss effects of the dressing on the phase
shifts.Comment: 17 pages, using REVTeX, 6 figure
\pi\pi, K\pi and \pi N potential scattering and a prediction of a narrow \sigma meson resonance
Low energy scattering and bound state properties of the \pi N, \pi\pi and
K\pi systems are studied as coupled channel problems using inversion potentials
of phase shift data. In a first step we apply the potential model to explain
recent measurements of pionic hydrogen shift and width. Secondly, predictions
of the model for pionium lifetime and shift confirm a well known and widely
used effective range expression. Thirdly, as extension of this confirmation, we
predict an unexpected medium effect of the pionium lifetime which shortens by
several orders of magnitude. The \sigma meson shows a narrow resonance
structure as a function of the medium modified mass with the implication of
being essentially energy independent. Similarly, we see this medium resonance
effect realized for the K\pi system. To support our findings we present also
results for the \rho meson and the \Delta(1232) resonance.Comment: 42 pages, 17 PS figures, REFTeX, epsfig.sty needed, submitted to

Solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for pion-nucleon scattering
A relativistic description of pion-nucleon scattering based on the
four-dimensional Bethe-Salpeter equation is presented. The kernel of the
equation consists of s- and u-channel nucleon and delta pole diagrams, as well
as rho and sigma exchange in the t-channel. The Bethe-Salpeter equation is
solved by means of a Wick rotation, and good fits are obtained to the s- and
p-wave phase shifts up to 360 MeV pion laboratory energy. The coupling
constants determined by the fits are consistent with the commonly accepted
values in the literature.Comment: 34 pages, RevTeX; 7 figures. Several references added, a few typos
corrected. Accepted for publication in Physical Review
Compton scattering on the nucleon at intermediate energies and polarizabilities in a microscopic model
A microscopic calculation of Compton scattering on the nucleon is presented
which encompasses the lowest energies -- yielding nucleon polarizabilities --
and extends to energies of the order of 600 MeV. We have used the covariant
"Dressed K-Matrix Model" obeying the symmetry properties which are appropriate
in the different energy regimes. In particular, crossing symmetry, gauge
invariance and unitarity are satisfied. The extent of violation of analyticity
(causality) is used as an expansion parameter.Comment: 35 pages, 15 figures, using REVTeX. Modified version to be published
