Understanding pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions near threshold has been a challenge for the last decades. In particular, the reaction pp -> pppi0 is highly sensitive to short-range mechanisms, because isospin conservation…
We present a comparative study of the pion induced production of $K^0 \Lambda$ and $D^- \Lambda_c^+$ off the nucleon. A hybrid framework is utilized by combining an effective Lagrangian method with a Regge approach. We consider the…
The total cross section for the pp --> pp $\pi^0$ reaction at energies close to threshold is calculated within the frame of a chiral perturbation theory. The tree and one loop diagrams up to chiral order D=2 contributions are taken into…
The A-dependence is observed in $x_F$-distributions for the $\Lambda K^0$ system produced with the small transverse momentum in the neutron-nucleus interactions. For the $\Lambda$ hyperons similar dependence isn't seen. The result is…
The $\Lambda(1405)$ production in p+p collisions at 3.5 GeV and K$^-$-induced reactions is discussed. The shift of the measured spectral function of the $\Lambda(1405)$ in p+p reactions does not match either theoretical calculations for p+p…
We extend our recent non-perturbative chiral SU(3) coupled channel approach to pion- and photon-induced $\eta$- and $K$-meson production off protons by including all strong and electromagnetic p-wave multipoles. We identify the p-wave…

We present a study of the $S=-1$ meson-baryon interaction, employing a chiral SU(3) Lagrangian up to next-to-leading order (NLO) and implementing unitarization in coupled channels. The parameters of the model have been fitted to a large set…
In this talk, we report the study of $\pi^- p \to K^{*0} \Lambda$ and $\pi^- p \to D^{*-} \Lambda_c^+$ reactions by using an effective Lagrangian method and a hybrid Regge model. The total and differential cross sections for the $K^{*0}…
We have analyzed data of the DISTO experiment on the exclusive pp to K^+ Lambda p process at T_p = 2.85$ GeV to search for a K^-pp (= X) nuclear bound state to be formed in the pp to K^+ + X reaction. The deviation spectra of the K^+…

The article reviews the physics related to kaon and antikaon production in heavy ion reactions at intermediate energies. Chiral dynamics predicts substantial modifications of the kaon properties in a dense nuclear environment. The status of…
The pp -> pp eta and pp -> pLambda K^+ reactions near threshold are dominated by the first and second S_11 resonance respectively. It is shown that a one-pion-exchange model exciting these isobars reproduces well the ratio of the production…
Simple--minded thoughts about the cross sections for the reactions pp-->ppK+K- and pp-->ppK0K0 are presented, which certainly do not account for the complex coupled channel problem but rather provide some ideas into the mutual reaction…

Fully constrained bubble chamber data on the pp -> pi+ pn and pp -> pi+ d reactions are used to investigate the ratio of the counting rates for the two processes at low pn excitation energies. Whereas the ratio is in tolerable agreement…

The reaction p(@3.5\,GeV)+p -> p+\Lambda + K^+ can be studied to search for the existence of kaonic bound states like ppK^- leading to this final state. This effort has been motivated by the assumption that in p+p collisions the…
