Angular correlation spectra of $e^+e^-$ pairs produced in the $^{7}$Li($p$,$\gamma$)$^{8}$Be nuclear reaction have been studied at the sharp $E_p$= 441 keV resonance as well as at $E_p$= 650 keV, 800 keV and 1100 keV proton beam energies.…
The branching ratios of K^- absorption at rest in nuclear matter are evaluated from the K^- self-energy by using the chiral unitary approach for the s-wave \bar{K} N amplitude. We find that both the mesonic and non-mesonic absorption…
We investigate double-strangeness exchange reactions, $K^-p\to K^+\Xi^-$ and $K^-p\to K^0\Xi^0$, using an effective Lagrangian approach based on a hybrid Regge-plus-resonance model involving rescattering diagrams. We consider the background…

We report properties of $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ hyperon resonances formed in $K^-$ induced reactions. Special emphasis is laid on the analysis of the three-body final states $2\pi^0\Lambda$ and $2\pi^0\Sigma$ and of the quasi-two-body final…
