We study two kinds of inelastic meson-meson scattering. The first kind is inelastic 2-to-2 meson-meson scattering that is governed by quark interchange as well as quark-antiquark annihilation and creation. Cross-section formulas are…
We study the processes $K\bar{K} \to \phi$, $\pi D \to D^\ast$, $\pi \bar{D} \to \bar{D}^\ast$, and the production of $\psi (3770)$, $\psi (4040)$, $\psi (4160)$, and $\psi (4415)$ mesons in collisions of charmed mesons or charmed strange…
We study inelastic meson-meson scattering that is governed by quark-antiquark annihilation and creation involving a quark and an antiquark annihilating into a gluon, and subsequently the gluon creating another quark-antiquark pair. The…
With quark-antiquark annihilation and creation in the first Born approximation, we study the reactions: $K \bar {K} \to K \bar {K}^\ast, ~K \bar{K} \to K^* \bar{K}, ~\pi K \to \pi K^\ast, ~\pi K \to \rho K, ~\pi \pi \to K \bar{K}^\ast, ~\pi…
In the first Born approximation we study the reactions $K\phi\to\pi K$, $\rho K$, $\pi K^*$, and $\rho K^*$ with quark-antiquark annihilation and creation. Transition amplitudes are derived with the development in spherical harmonics of the…

Meson-meson nonresonant reactions governed by the quark-interchange mechanism are studied in a potential that is derived from QCD. S-wave elastic phase shifts for I=2 \pi\pi and I=3/2 K \pi scattering are obtained with wave functions…
We divide the cross section for a meson-meson reaction into three parts. The first part is for the quark-interchange process, the second for quark-antiquark annihilation processes and the third for resonant processes. Master rate equations…
Scattering of two mesons is considered in the framework of two-dimensional QCD in the large-$N_c^{}$ limit with four different quark flavors. The scattering takes place through two coupled channels, corresponding to direct and…
Momenta of charmonia created in Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider are so large that three or more mesons may be produced when the charmonia collide with light mesons in hadronic matter. We study the meson-charmonium collision in…
Angular distributions of differential cross sections for the interaction of $K^{+}$ mesons with $^{^{12}}$C nucleus at beam momenta of 635, 715, and 800 MeV/c have been analyzed using 3$\alpha$-particle model of $^{^{12}}$C. Differential…

The results of a model for meson-meson scattering are studied. The model is shown to be capable of on the one hand reproducing the scattering data, while on the other hand a quark-antiquark confinement spectrum can be determined. It is…
