At moderate and large momentum transfer, high energy vector meson photoproduction and Compton scattering can be consistently explained by mechanisms based on interactions and exchanges of constituent quarks and gluons. This opens an…
We investigate net-proton fluctuations as important observables measured in heavy-ion collisions within the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model. Special emphasis is given to effects which are a priori not inherent in a thermally and chemically…

A unitary coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model is applied to the combined analysis of the $(\pi,\gamma) N \to K\Lambda$ reactions in the energy region up to 2 GeV. To constrain the resonance couplings to the $K\Lambda$ final state the…
We study the exclusive photoproduction of a lepton pair off the proton with the aim of studying the proton quark structure via the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD) formalism. After deriving the amplitudes of the processes contributing…

The forward Compton scattering off the proton is determined by substituting the empirical total photoabsorption cross sections into dispersive sum rules. In addition to the spin-independent amplitude evaluated previously [Phys. Rev. D 92,…
We review the status of the $S_{11}$ N$^*$ resonances in light of some recent theoretical and phenomenological results. Whereas the quark model predicts two such resonances around 1.6 GeV, there is considerable evidence for a third $S_{11}$…
We calculate the beam ($B_n$) and target ($A_n$) normal single-spin asymmetries in electron-proton elastic scattering from two-photon exchange amplitudes with resonance intermediate states of spin-parity $1/2^\pm$ and $3/2^\pm$ and mass $W…
We consider resonant inverse Compton scattering of thermal photons by secondary particles above the pulsar polar gap. The process appears to be an essential energy loss mechanism for the particles. The distribution function of the secondary…
The article contains new results for spin-3/2 and -1/2 resonances. It specializes to the second resonance region, which includes the $P_{11}(1440)$, $D_{13}(1520)$ and $S_{11}(1535)$ resonances. New data on electroproduction enable us to…

Deuteron Compton scattering is calculated to $\mathcal{O}(Q^2)$ in pionless effective field theory using a dibaryon approach. The vector amplitude, which was not included in the previous pionless calculations, contributes to the cross…
