We study the reaction mechanism for the photoproduction of the Lambda(1520), based on an effective Lagrangian approach. We investigate each contribution of the s-, u-, t-channel processes and contact term, separately. One of the most…
The total cross section for Coulomb photoproduction of neutral pion pairs in the reaction gamma A --> pi0 pi0 A is estimated within the effective chiral lagrangian approach. The amplitude of gamma gamma* --> pi0 pi0 with one off-shell…
We present an analysis of $\Xi^-$ baryon production in subthreshold proton--nucleus ($p+A$) collisions in the framework of a BUU type transport model. We propose a new mechanism for $\Xi$ production in the collision of a secondary $\Lambda$…
A depth of $D_{\Lambda}\approx -28$ MeV for the $\Lambda$-nucleus potential was confirmed in 1988 by studying $\Lambda$ binding energies deduced from $(\pi^+,K^+)$ spectra measured across the periodic table. Modern two-body hyperon-nucleon…
The long mean free path of $K^+$ mesons in nuclear matter makes this particle a suitable messenger for the dynamics of nucleus-nucleus reactions at intermediate energies (100 MeV to 3 GeV per nucleon). A prerequisite for this is the…
We propose an experimental procedure to find out the medium modifications of the $\phi$ meson. The reaction is inclusive $\phi$ photoproduction in nuclei, looking for $K^+ K^-$ pairs from the $\phi$ decay with total momentum smaller than…

In this talk we report on two physical processes, the photoproduction of $\rho$ mesons in nuclei and the $\pi^0 \pi^0$ photoproduction in nuclei at low energies. In the first case the aim is to observe experimentally the theoretically…
We study the antikaon-induced inclusive cascade $\Xi^-$ hyperon production from $^{12}$C and $^{184}$W target nuclei near threshold within a nuclear spectral function approach. The approach describes incoherent direct $\Xi^-$ hyperon…
The production of neutron rich $\Lambda$-hypernuclei via the ($K^-_stop$,$\pi^+$) reaction has been studied using data collected with the FINUDA spectrometer at the DA$\Phi$NE $\phi$-factory (LNF). The analysis of the inclusive $\pi^+$…

"Subthreshold pions" and so-called "hard photons" are two important channels for producing less than 1 GeV $\gamma$-rays and $e^\pm$ pairs from nuclear collisions with energy per nucleon below the $\pi$-meson production threshold. I use…
The $K^-d\rightarrow\pi\Lambda N$ reaction is useful for exploring the hyperon-nucleon interaction through final state interactions. In particular, the cusp structure of the $\Lambda N$ invariant mass spectrum at the $\Sigma N$ threshold…
The quasielastic weak production of $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ hyperons from nucleons and nuclei induced by antineutrinos is studied in the energy region of some ongoing neutrino oscillation experiments in the intermediate energy region. The…

We have studied the $\gamma p \to K^0 \Sigma^+$ reaction in the energy region around the $K^* \Lambda$ and $K^* \Sigma$ thresholds, where the CBELSA/TAPS cross section shows a sudden drop and the differential cross section experiences a…
The photoproduction processes of the exotic $\Theta^+(1540)$ baryon and the $\bar{K}^*$ meson from the nucleon targets, i.e., $\gamma n \to K^{*-} \Theta^+$ and $\gamma p \to \bar{K}^{*0} \Theta^+$, are investigated in a hadronic model. We…
We investigate the reaction mechanism of the $\phi$-meson photoproduction off the proton target, i.e., $\gamma p\to\phi p$, up to $\sqrt{s}=2.8$ GeV. For this purpose, we employ an effective Lagrangian approach in the tree-level Born…
We have measured both yields of neutron-proton and neutron-neutron pairs emitted from the non-mesonic weak decay process of 5_Lambda-He and 12_Lambda-C hypernuclei produced via the (pi^+,K^+) reaction for the first time. We observed clean…
