In order to establish links between p-wave pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions and low energy three-nucleon scattering, an extensive programme of experiments on pion production is currently underway at COSY-ANKE. The final proton…
We discuss the mechanisms that lead to $\Lambda(1405)$ production in the $\pi^-p\to K^0\pi\Sigma$ reaction. The problem has gained renewed interest after different works converge to the conclusion that there are two resonances around the…
I study an aspect of chiral perturbation theory (\chi PT) which enables one to ``bridge'' different reactions. That is, an operator fixed in one of the reactions can then be used to predict the other. For this purpose, I calculate the…
[Background] Long-Baseline experiments such as T2K, NOvA or the planned Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) require theoretical descriptions of the complete event in a neutrino-nucleus reaction. Since nuclear targets are used this…
The missing mass spectrum measured in high resolution studies of the reaction pp -> K^+X is analyzed with respect to the strong final state interaction near the Lambda p production threshold. The observed spectrum can be described by…
A new search for production of correlated e+e- pairs in the alpha decay of 241Am has been carried out deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the I.N.F.N. by using pairs of NaI(Tl) detectors of the DAMA/LIBRA set-up. The…

The cross sections for the reactions pp -> p Lambda^0K^+ and pn -> n Lambda^0K^+ are calculated near threshold of the final states. The theoretical ratio of the cross sections R = sigma(pn -> n Lambda^0K^+)/ sigma(pp ->p\Lambda^0K^+) = 3…

We investigate K*{\Lambda}(1116) photoproduction off the proton and neutron targets in the effective Lagrangian method in the tree-level Born approximation. In addition to the K, K*, and {\kappa} exchanges which are the main contributions…
The production mechanism of hyperons in the proton-proton collisions is explored using exclusive process with the data sample collected by HADES. The clear sign for three intermediate resonances is observed using simulated samples. It opens…
The K^- induced production of Lambda(1405) is investigated in K^- d to pi Sigma n reactions based on coupled-channels chiral dynamics, in order to discuss the resonance position of the Lambda(1405) in the KbarN channel. We find that the…
We have carried out an experiment to search for a neutron-rich hypernucleus, $^6_{\Lambda}$H, by the $^6$Li($\pi^-,K^+$) reaction at $p_{\pi^-}$ =1.2 GeV/$c$. The obtained missing mass spectrum with an estimated energy resolution of 3.2 MeV…
Results from a partial-wave analysis of the reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow K^+ \Lambda$ are presented. The reaction is dominated by the $S_{11}(1650)$ and $P_{13}(1720)$ resonances at low energies and by $P_{13}(1900)$ at higher energies.…
