The $\gamma p \to \phi \eta p$ reaction is studied in the kinematic region where the $\eta p$ final state originates dominantly from the decay of the N*(1535) resonance. The threshold laboratory photon energy for this reaction (at the peak…
We investigate the $A(p,K^+){_\Lambda}B$ reaction within a covariant two nucleon model. We focus on amplitudes which are described by creation, propagation and decay into relevant channel of $N^*$(1650), $N^*$(1710), and $N^*$(1720)…
Within fixed-t dispersion relations the results of new VPI partial-wave analysis for the multipole amplitudes $M_{1+}^{3/2},E_{1+}^{3/2}$ are successfuly described, and the resonance and nonresonance contributions into these amplitudes are…

We discuss the calculation of two-loop helicity amplitudes for quark-quark scattering in QCD and four-gluino scattering in N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We study the dependence of the results on different variants of dimensional…
Correlations between the QCD coupling \alpha_s, the gluon condensate < \alpha_s G^2 >, and the c,b-quark running masses m_c,b in the MS-scheme are explicitly studied (for the first time) from the (axial-)vector and (pseudo)scalar charmonium…
The hypercentral constituent quark model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction inspired by lattice QCD calculations which reproduces the average energy of SU(6) multiplets. The splittings are obtained with a residual…
We study the pi N --> phi N reaction close to the phi N threshold within the chiral unitary approach, by combining the pi^- p --> K^+ Sigma^-, pi^- p --> K^0 Sigma^0 and pi^- p --> K^0 Lambda amplitudes with the coupling of the phi to the K…
We investigate the electroproduction of eta mesons below a center of momentum energy of 1.6 GeV, with particular emphasis on the roles of the N*(1535) and N*(1520) resonances. Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we show that the…
We reply to the Comment of A.M. Sandorfi et al. [nucl-th/9707028] on the E2/M1 ratio from the Mainz photoproduction data, nucl-th/9707028 v2. We support our published result for the E2/M1 ratio of REM = -(2.5 +- 0.2 +- 0.2)%.
In this paper, the interaction of an incident finite amplitude longitudinal wave with a localized region of nonlinearity is considered. This interaction produces a secondary field represented by a superposition of first-, second-, and…
We consider heavy quark mass ($m$) effects in the Energy-Energy Correlation function in $e^+e^- \to hadrons$ at high energy $Q$, in the back-to-back (two-jet) region. In the ultra-relativistic limit, $Q \gg m$, the QCD Sudakov form factor…
Using the difference between the gauge symmetric and standard pi-N-delta couplings, a contact pi-pi-N-N term, quadratic in the pi-N-delta coupling, is explicitly constructed. Besides, a contribution from the delta excitation mechanism to…
We derive the two-loop QCD helicity amplitudes for the processes $l q \to l qg$ ($l \bar q \to l \bar q g$) and $l g \to l q\bar q$, which are the partonic reactions yielding $(2+1)$-jet final states in deep inelastic lepton nucleon…
A compilation of H1 and ZEUS cross section measurements for elastic vector meson production is presented as a function of the scale $K^2 = (Q^2+M_V^2)/4$, where Q^2 is the exchanged photon virtuality and M_V is the mass of the vector meson.…
We investigate the hadronic reactions {\pi}N {\to} {\eta}N and {\pi}N {\to} K{\Lambda} via single-energy partial-wave analyses in the c.m. energy range 1080 to 2100 MeV. Our results for the K{\Lambda} channel are consistent with prior…
Using a dynamic cluster quantum Monte Carlo approximation, we study a two-dimensional Hubbard model with a small orthorhombic distortion in the nearest neighbor hopping integrals. We find a large nematic response in the low-frequency…
We consider the electromagnetic and gravitational interactions of a massive Rarita-Schwinger field. Stueckelberg analysis of the system, when coupled to electromagnetism in flat space or to gravity, reveals in either case that the effective…
We study the scaling of kaon decay amplitudes with the number of colours, $N_c$, in a theory with four degenerate flavours, $N_f=4$. In this scenario, two current-current operators, $Q^\pm$, mediate $\Delta S=1$ transitions, such as the two…
