"75 years past the discovery of the pion, this particle still fascinates researchers. This book, written at a level of a graduate text by experts, reviews the progress in theoretical and experimental research of the properties of the pion and describes how its studies help scientists to understand non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of strong interactions. We describe the current issues in precision analyses of production and decays of the pions and their low energy interactions with other strongly interacting particles, such as kaons and nucleons. We also discuss how precision analyses of transitions involving pions help us understand other interactions and even pr...
Studies the theoretical and experimental aspects of photoproduction of pions on nucleons and nuclei in the range of photon energies up to 1 GeV. Theoretical predictions are presented based on dispersion relationships of multiple pion photoproduction amplitudes. The problem of a complete experiment i
The pion plays an outstanding role in nuclear physics as a generator of the nuclear force and as an important part of the nuclear many-body problem. At the same time, pion beams are used as probes to explore the nucleus and its interactions. As pion physics has matured over the years, a rich and diverse variety of phenomena has been uncovered. The aim of this book is to examine the underlying physical picture behind these phenomena in a systematic and coherent way. The authors emphasize the interplay between physical concepts and experimental facts more than the formal tools, which are presented in a series of appendices. The book is directed towards advanced students as well as research workers.
