We propose to extend the investigations of the eta meson production in nucleon-nucleon collisions by studying single and double polarization observables. Over the last years, the eta meson has been studied at several different experiments…

We develop polarization observables for the processes $\gamma N\to\pi\pi N$ and $\pi N\to\pi\pi N$, using both a helicity and hybrid helicity-transversity basis. Such observables are crucial if processes that produce final states consisting…

Contactlike nonstandard interactions can be revealed only through deviations of observables from the standard model predictions. We consider a number of such nonstandard scenarios, and discuss their identification as sources of deviations…
