description

The role of mesonic and isobar degrees of freedom in various electromagnetic processes is reviewed for light nuclei. Special emphasis is laid on the deuteron, which allows the cleanest answers within the non-relativistic framework. The origin of the photonuclear enhancement with respect to both exchange forces and exchange currents is discussed in detail.
