The FOPI Collaboration at the GSI SIS-18 synchrotron measured charged kaons from central and semi-central collisions of Ni+Ni at a beam energy of 1.91A GeV. We present the distribution of the K$^-$\K$^+$ ratio on the energy vs polar angle…

Production of lepton pairs in gamma p -> e-e+ p reaction is studied at photon energies up to 1 GeV. We show that even if lepton charge is not measured there are extensive kinematical regimes where the nuclear process dominates over the…

We study the $J/\psi \to \phi K \bar K$ decay, looking for differences in the production rates of $K^+ K^-$ or $K^0 \bar K^0$ in the region of 1700-1800 MeV, where two resonances appear dynamically generated from the vector-vector…
