Bose-Einstein correlations of charged kaons were measured near mid-rapidity in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A$\cdot$GeV by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS. Source radii were extracted using the Yano-Koonin-Podgoretsky and…
Bose-Einstein Correlations in one and two dimensions have been studied in charged current muon-neutrino interaction events collected with NOMAD. In one dimension the Bose-Einstein effect has been analyzed with the Goldhaber and the Kopylov…
The possibility to relate multiplicity distributions and their moments, as measured in the hadronic final state in e(+)e(-) annihilation, to features of the initial partonic state is analyzed from a theoretical and phenomenological point of…
In case of chiral U_A(1) symmetry restoration the mass of the eta' boson (the ninth, would-be Goldstone boson) is decreased, thus its production cross section is heavily enhanced. The eta' decays (through one of its decay channels) into…
Exclusive semi-leptonic decays of the tau lepton offer a clean probe to study the hadronization of QCD currents in its non-perturbative regime and learn about resonance dynamics, which drives strong interactions in these processes. In this…
Pion and eta electroproduction data are jointly analyzed for the first time, up to a center-of-mass energy of 1.6 GeV. The framework is a dynamical coupled-channel model, based on the recent J\"ulich-Bonn-Washington analysis of pion…
We relate the asymmetries in the charged pions energy in the decay into $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ of $K_L$ and of the tagged neutral kaons. The former asymmetry is a given combination of $\Re(\epsilon)$, $\Im(\epsilon)$, and $|\epsilon'|$.…
We analyse tau -> (3 pions) nu_tau decays within the framework of the resonance chiral theory of QCD. We have worked out the relevant Lagrangian that describes the axial-vector current hadronization contributing to these processes, and the…
Bose-Einstein correlations of identical hadrons produced in high- energy pp collisions at the LHC is a good instrument to probe the size of the domain which emits these hadrons in different classes of events. This provides an additional…
Measurements of Bose-Einstein correlations of pion pairs in central Pb+Pb collisions were performed with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS for beam energies of 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A, and 158A GeV. Correlation functions were measured in the…
Antiproton--proton annihilation into light mesons is revisited in the few GeV energy domain, in view of a global description of the existing data. An effective meson model is developed, with mesonic and baryonic degrees od freedom in $s$,…
A way to explain the puzzling difference between the pion form factor as measured in e+ e- annihilations and in tau decays is discussed. We show that isospin symmetry breaking, beside the already identified effects, produces also a full…
We present a new determination of the parity of the neutral pion via the double Dalitz decay pi^0 -> e+ e- e+ e-. Our sample, which consists of 30511 candidate decays, was collected from K_L -> pi0 pi0 pi0 decays in flight at the KTeV-E799…
I review recent estimates of the non-perturbative hadronic vacuum polarization contributions. Since these at present can only be evaluated in terms of experimental data of limited precision, the related uncertainties pose a serious…
We compare and analyse Bose-Einstein correlation data for $\pi^+ p$ and $K^+ p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=22\ GeV$ obtained by the NA22-Collaboration and data for $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=630\ GeV$ obtained by the…

Recent investigations of final state interactions of W+W- events in e+e- collisions up to center of mass energies sqrt{S}=189GeV at LEP2 are reviewed. The data were used to look for color reconnection and Bose-Einstein correlations between…
Several hadronic observables have been studied in central 158 A GeV Pb+Pb collisions using data measured by the WA98 experiment at CERN: single negative pion and kaon production, as well as two- and three-pion interferometry. The…
Based on experimental data by the Bell Collaboration, we present a phenomenological analysis of the angular distributions in tau- -->K_S pi-nu_tau decay. Our study shows that the angular analysis could lead to some interesting observables,…
