Mesonnucleon
Mesonnucleon refers to systems and interactions between a meson and a nucleon (proton or neutron). It includes elastic scattering, inelastic processes, and the possible formation of bound states or resonances in the meson-nucleon sector. Studying mesonnucleon dynamics helps illuminate the non-perturbative regime of the strong interaction.
The meson-nucleon interaction arises from quantum chromodynamics at low energies and is typically described with effective
Resonances and bound states in the meson-nucleon sector include candidates such as the Lambda(1405), discussed as
The mesonnucleon sector informs the understanding of nuclear forces, hypernuclei, and the behavior of QCD in
