Hello.

I've been having a hard time finding information about the following reaction:

e^{-}+n\rightarrowe^{-}+p^{+}+\pi^{-}

I hope you could give me some information about it.

I'm interested in energies for the incident e^{-} above 200MeV.

I think it has to do something with hypothetical quark production, bu I'm not sure.

Thank you.

I would google "pion electroproduction" and maybe add "near threshold" since the threshold of that reaction is about 150 MeV.

What are you interested in? The theoretical understanding of the process? Experiments that extract information about it?

You asked a very broad question about a very specific reaction... which tends to not get you much help around here.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
