Precise total cross-sections and invariant-mass distributions have been measured for photoproduction of pion pairs off the proton producing $p\pi^0\pi^0$ and $n\pi^+\pi^0$ final states from the threshold region up to 800 MeV incident photon…
In backward photoproduction of mesons, $\gamma p\rightarrow M p$, the target proton takes most of the photon momentum, while the produced meson recoils in the direction from which the photon came. Thus the Mandelstam $u$ is small, while the…
Inclusive K+ production in proton-proton collisions has been measured at a beam energy of 2.16 GeV using the COSY-ANKE magnetic spectrometer. The resulting spectrum, as well as those corresponding to K+ p and K+ pi+ correlated pairs, can…
A Regge approach to the reaction processes $\gamma p\to\pi^-\Delta^{++}$ and $\gamma p\to\pi^+\Delta^0$ is presented for the description of existing data up to $E_\gamma= 16$ GeV. The model consists of the $t$-channel…

We investigate the photoproduction of the tensor meson $f_2(1270)$ on the proton within a Regge-based framework, focusing on the reaction $\gamma p \to p f_2(1270)$ in the few-GeV energy region. The production mechanism is modeled through…
