The s-wave meson-nucleon interaction in the S=-1 sector is studied by means of a coupled-channel Lippmann Schwinger equation, using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian and a cut off to regularize the loop integrals. The position and width of…

We discuss the properties of baryons within the framework of the in-medium modified SU(3) Skyrme model. The modification is performed by a minimal way, the medium functionals in the SU(2) sector being introduced. These functionals are then…
The properties of strange hadrons, i.e. of kaons and hyperons, in the nuclear medium are discussed in connection with neutron star properties and relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Firstly, the relevant medium modifications of a kaon in a…
There is currently enormous interest in the investigation of how hadron properties may be altered by immersion in matter. There is strong evidence of a reduction in the mass of the rho meson from relativistic heavy ion collisions as well as…
The in-medium modifications of hadron properties are briefly discussed. We restrict the discussion to the lattice QCD calculations for the hadron masses, screening masses, decay constants and wave functions. We review the progress made so…
Changes of hadronic properties in dense nuclear matter as predicted by theory have usually been investigated by means of relativistic heavy-ion reactions. In this talk I show that observable consequences of such changes can also be seen in…

Nuclei are unique analyzers for the early stage of the space-time development of hadronization. DIS at medium energies is especially suitable for this task being sensitive to hadronization dynamics, since the production length is comparable…
