Recent cross section (e,e'pN) short-range correlation experiments have clearly shown the strong dominance of tensor correlations for (e,e'p) missing momenta greater than the Fermi momentum; while recent D(e,e'p)n and 4He(e,e'p)t asymmetry…

We investigate the $\phi$ meson nuclear transparency using some recent theoretical developments on the $\phi$ in medium self-energy. The inclusion of direct resonant $\phi N$-scattering and the kaon decay mechanisms leads to a $\phi$ width…
The production of the light vector mesons $V = \rho, \omega, \phi$ in the reactions $\pi N \to V N$ and $N N \to V N N$ near threshold is studied. The subsequent electromagnetic decay $V \to \gamma^* \to e^+ e^-$ is particularly suited for…
