We discuss how the main features of high-energy `soft' and `semihard' pp collisions may be described in terms of parton cascades and multi-Pomeron exchange. The interaction between Pomerons produces an effective infrared cutoff, k_sat, by…

We use chiral perturbation theory to evaluate the scattering amplitude for the process Pi^+ K^- to Pi^+ K^- at leading and next-to-leading orders in the chiral counting and in the presence of isospin breaking effects. We also discuss the…
We calculate the T-matrices of kaon-nucleon ($KN$) and antikaon-nucleon ($\overline{K}N$) scattering to one-loop order in SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HB$\chi$PT). The low-energy constants (LECs) and their combinations are…

The kaon photoproduction is analyzed up to $E_\gamma^{\rm Lab}$=2.0 GeV by using an isobaric model based on effective Lagrangians and by taking a cross symmetry into account. Both {\it pseudovector} and {\it pseudoscalar} couplings for…
Knowledge of the electric polarizability is crucial to understanding the interactions of hadrons with electromagnetic fields. The neutron polarizability is very sensitive to the quark mass and is expected to diverge in the chiral limit.…
A vector meson exchange model based on effective Lagrangians is used to build the meson--baryon interaction in the charm $+1$, strangeness $-2$ and isospin $0$ sector. The s-wave scattering amplitudes resulting from the unitarization in…

The problem of scalar mesons still remains a challenging puzzle, for which we do not even know which are the right pieces to set up. The proliferation of resonances (some of them are very broad and appear on top of hadronic thresholds) and…
