Strong interactions between pairs of the K+ K- and K0 K0bar mesons can be studied in radiative decays of phi(1020) mesons. We present a theoretical model of the reactions e+ e- --> phi --> K+ K- gamma and e+ e- --> phi --> K0 K0bar gamma.…

We study the processes e+e- --> K+ K- pi+pi-gamma, K+ K- pi0pi0gamma, and K+ K- K+ K-gamma, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 84000, 8000, and 4200 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 454…
We describe the interference between amplitudes $e^+e^- \to \rho \to \gamma\pi^+\pi^-$ and $e^+e^- \to \phi \to \gamma f_0 \to \gamma\pi^+\pi^-$, where $f_0$ meson is considered in the frameworks of the four-quark model and the model of the…
The strength of the kaon--antikaon interaction is a crucial quantity for many physics topics. It is for example, an important parameter in the discussion on the nature of the scalar resonances $a_{0}(980)$ and $f_{0}(980)$, in particular…
We develop a general framework to study KKbar threshold phenomena with resonances f0, a0 and K+K- atom included. Based on this formalism we predict that the production of the K+K- atom in p+d=3He+X and similar reactions exhi- bits a drastic…
We study the scattering parameters of the \(K^+\bar{K}^0\) system through the analysis of the \(D^+\to\bar{K}^0\pi^+\eta\) reaction, aiming at determining the scattering length \(a\) and effective range \(r_0\) of the \(K^+\bar{K}^0\)…
It is shown that the momentum-dependent kaon-antikaon interactions generated via vector meson exchange from the standard SU_V(3) x SU_A(3) interaction Lagrangian lead to a non-local potential in coordinate space that can be incorporated…
The production of charged kaon pairs in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions can proceed via photoproduction (gamma-Pomeron interaction) or via photon-photon fusion. An important contribution to this process arises from the decays of…
