Publication Open Access GDH2000 Convenor’s Report: Spin Polarizabilities(2000-01) Holstein, BRThe subject of low energy polarized Compton scattering from the proton, which is characterized by phenomenological spin-polarizabilities, is introduced and connection is made to new theoretical and experimental developments which were reported to this meeting.Publication Metadata only The Mysterious Disappearance of Ettore Majorana - art. no. 012019(2009-01) Holstein, BRWe review the short but interesting life of Ettore Majorana.Publication Metadata only ELECTRIC-DIPOLE MOMENTS OF NUCLEI(1987) Donoghue, JF; Holstein, BR; MUSOLF, MJRecent calculations by Sushkov, Flambaum and Khriplovich have suggested that the existence of the possibility of kaon exchange within nuclei allows nuclear electric dipole moments within the standard model to be enhanced substantially over those of nucleons. This suggestion is analysed carefully and it is found that the constraints of chiral symmetry, which were not correctly included in the earlier calculation, reduce this prediction substantially.Publication Metadata only CHIRAL SYMMETRY AND THE LARGE-NC LIMIT IN KL4 DECAYS(1991) RIGGENBACH, C; GASSER, J; Donoghue, JF; Holstein, BRThe treatment of kaon decays using chiral symmetry yields predictions for thè form factors in K→ππeν. In addition, the large-Nc limit of QCD implies that a particular combination of low-energy constants should be suppressed. We present the chiral predictions for Kl4 decays at next-to-leading order in the energy expansion. By combining the phenomenologies of Kl4 and ππ scattering, we test these predictions and provide a determination of the parameters in the chiral Lagrangian of QCD.Publication Open Access PHOTON-PHOTON SCATTERING, PION POLARIZABILITY, AND CHIRAL-SYMMETRY(1993) Donoghue, JF; Holstein, BRRecent attempts to detect the pion polarizability via analysis of γγ→ππ measurements are examined. The connection between calculations based on dispersion relations and on chiral perturbation theory is established by matching the low-energy chiral amplitude with that given by a full dispersive treatment. Using the values for the polarizability required by chiral symmetry, predicted and experimental cross sections are shown to be in agreement.Publication Metadata only Quantum corrections to the Reissner-Nordstrom and Kerr-Newman metrics (vol 529, pg 132, 2002)(2005-01) Donoghue, JF; Holstein, BR; Garbrecht, B; Konstandin, TPublication Open Access Chiral Symmetry and Electroweak pi,K, n Processes(1993) Holstein, BRRecently the development of chiral perturbation theory has allowed the generation of rigorous low-energy theorems for various hadronic processes based only on the chiral invariance of the underlying QCD Lagrangian. Herein we examine the experimental implications of chiral symmetry in the regime of electroweak Goldstone boson interactions. Contribution to BNL Hadronic Beam Physics Workshop.Publication Metadata only QUANTUM-MECHANICS IN MOMENTUM-SPACE - THE COULOMB SYSTEM(1995) Holstein, BRWe examine the Coulomb system in momentum space. Both by directly summing the multiple scattering series as well as by use of symmetry techniques we demonstrate how the familiar results for scattering amplitude and bound state wave functions/energy levels can be derived.Publication Open Access Factorization in graviton scattering and the "natural" value of the g factor(2006-01) Holstein, BRThe factorization property of graviton scattering amplitudes is reviewed and shown to be valid only if the natural value of the gyromagnetic ratio gS=2 is employed—independent of spin.Publication Metadata only Hadronic parity violation: Past, present, and future(2003-01) Holstein, BRThe history of hadronic parity violation is reviewed, from its beginning in 1957 to the present time. The current state of the subject is shown to be confused and a program to resolve this dilemma, including theoretical calculations using effective theoretic methods together with new low energy experiments in low A systems, is proposed.
