Incoherent photoproduction of the $\eta$-meson on the deuteron is studied for photon energies from threshold to 800 MeV. The dominant contribution, the $\gamma$N-$\eta$N amplitude, is described within an isobar model. The final state…
The contribution of the two-step process gamma + d -> p + n -> pi0 + d to the imaginary part of the amplitude for coherent pion production on the deuteron is calculated exploiting unitarity constraints. The result shows that this absorptive…

The production of the Sigma+ hyperon through the pp->K+nSigma+ reaction has been investigated at four energies close to threshold, 1.826, 1.920, 1.958, and 2.020 GeV. At low energies, correlated K+pi+ pairs can only originate from Sigma+…
We show that for the S-state $\pi^0$-production in processes $\gamma+d\to d+\pi^0$ and $e^-+d\to e^-+d+\pi^0$ the rescattering effects due to the transition: $ \gamma+d\to p+p+\pi^-$ (or $n+n+\pi^+)\to d+\pi^0$ are cancelled out due to the…
