High-resolution spectrometer measurements of the reaction H(e,e' K+)X at small Q2 are used to extract the mass and width of the Lambda(1520). We investigate dependence of the resonance parameters on different parametrizations of the…

The $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance is generated dynamically in a unitary coupled channel framework with the $\pi\Sigma^*$ and $K\Xi^*$ channels in s-wave and $\pi\Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ channels in d-wave. The dynamics of this resonance close to…
The $h\nu_{peak}/100 KeV \sim [E_{iso}/10^{52} \rm{erg}]^{1/2}$ correlation reported recently by Amati et al. (2002) and Lamb et al. (2003) for long GRB's can be interpreted as a viewing angle effect if the emitting region of the fireball…

We have studied the $\Omega_c \to \pi^+ (\pi^0, \eta) \pi \Xi^*$ decays, where the final $\pi \Xi^*$ comes from the decay of two resonances around the nominal $\Xi(1820)$, which are generated from the interaction of coupled channels made of…
