First calculations for spin-dependent observables of the reactions $pp \to pp\pi^0$, $pp \to pn\pi^+$ and $pp \to d\pi^+$ near threshold are presented, employing the J\"ulich model for pion production. The influence of resonant (via the…
Experimental data on the pion-nucleus total cross sections are analyzed in terms of the optimal resonances predictions (OR). The OR-predictions are found in a good agreement with the actual experimental data in the region corresponding to…
Parity violating (PV) contributions due to interference between $\gamma$ and $Z^0$ exchange are calculated for pion electroproduction off the nucleon. A phenomenological model with effective Lagrangians is used to determine the resulting…
We present a method to calculate pion electro-production amplitudes in a coupled-channel framework incorporating quasi-bound quark-model states. The method offers a clear prescription how to extract the resonant part of the amplitudes, even…
We study the coupling of the Lambda(1520)= Lambda* resonance to the \bar K* vector meson and nucleon. This coupling is not directly measured from the resonance decay, but is expected to be important in hyperon production reactions, in…
The electromagnetic excitation of the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance plays an appreciable role in the Lamb shift and hyperfine structure of muonic and electronic hydrogen. Its effect appears at the subleading order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha^5)$,…
We discuss properties of baryon resonances belonging to the Nucleon, Delta, Sigma, Lambda, Xi and Omega families in a collective string-like model for the nucleon, in which the radial excitations are interpreted as rotations and vibrations…
The gamma p ---> pi+ pi- p reaction, in combination with data from the pi N ---> pi pi N reaction, allows one to obtain the s- and d-wave amplitudes for the N*(1520) decay into Delta pi with absolute sign with respect to the N*(1520) ---> N…
The Lambda_c(2286)-N system is studied in a chiral constituent quark model and the resulting s-wave interaction is used in separable form within three-body models of the pi-Lambda_c-N system with quantum numbers (C,I,JP)=(+1,3/2,2+).…
Evidence is reported for the existence of a parity doublet of Delta resonances with total angular momentum J=3/2 from photoproduction of the p pi^0 eta final state. The two parity partners Delta(1920)P_{33} and Delta(1940)D_{33} make…
We have recently studied coupled channel interactions of vector and pseudoscalar mesons with octet baryons having total strangeness null and spin-parity $1/2^-$. We, thus, considered $\pi N$, $\eta N$, $K \Lambda$, $K \Sigma$, $\rho N$,…
Three-body hadronic models with separable pairwise interactions are formulated and solved to calculate resonance masses and widths of L=0 N-Delta and Delta-Delta dibaryons using relativistic kinematics. For N-Delta, I(JP)=1(2+) and 2(1+)…
We analyse pion-nucleus reactions in a microscopic transport model of the BUU type, which propagates nucleons, pions, deltas and N(1440)-resonances explicitly in space and time. In particular we examine pion absorption and inelastic…
Re-analyzing the old pi N --> K Lambda data, the additional proof is given for the existence of the N(1710) P11 state, critically needed in light of reported observations of exotic Theta(1539) and Xi(1862) pentaquarks. An existing…
Due to the finite kinetic energy in the intermediate $N\Delta$ state the (internal) energy available for mesonic decay is decreased and consequently the effective $N\Delta$ width is suppressed in $NN$ scattering. The same can happen also in…
Pion electro- and photoproduction off the nucleon close to threshold is studied in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory at O($p^3$) in the extended-on-mass-shell scheme, with the explicit inclusion of the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance.…
The spectroscopy of light, strange baryons have been an important aspect with still unknown resonances and intrinsic baryonic properties. The present document is focused on the $\Delta$ baryons unlike earlier work, here all the four isospin…
The amplitudes of the pion electroproduction from the nucleon are derived up to third order in the chiral effective theory including explicit $\Delta$(1232) >. The Q^2 evolutions of weighted integrals of amplitudes are presented.
We have examined the existence of the $N^*(1685)$ resonance, which is recently listed by the Particle Data Group as a one-star nucleon resonance, by using a covariant isobar model for kaon photoproduction and assuming that the resonance has…
We consider some of the things that we understand about the theoretical underpinnings of duality, including items such as why the resonance peak/background ratio is constant in general, why it falls for the $\Delta(1232)$, what we might…
