The $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance has been recently studied in a unitarized coupled channel formalism with $\pi\Sigma(1385)$, $K\Xi(1530)$, $\bar{K}N$ and $\pi\Sigma$ as constituents blocks. We provide a theoretical study of the predictions of…
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…

A $\Sigma^*$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P = 1/2^-$ and mass in the vicinity of the $\bar{K}N$ threshold has been predicted in the unitary chiral approach and inferred from the analysis of CLAS data on the $\gamma p \to K^+ \pi^0…

We study the $\bar K p \to Y K\bar K \pi$ reactions with $\bar K = \bar K^0, K^-$ and $Y=\Sigma^0, \Sigma^+, \Lambda$, in the region of $K\bar K \pi$ invariant masses of $1200-1550$ MeV. The strong coupling of the $f_1(1285)$ resonance to…
We improve the calculations of the $\eta \to \pi^0 \gamma \gamma$ decay within the context of meson chiral lagrangians. We use a chiral unitary approach for the meson-meson interaction, thus generating the $a_0(980)$ resonance and fixing…
Measurements of $\gamma p \rightarrow K^{+} \Lambda$ and $\gamma p \rightarrow K^{+} \Sigma^0$ cross-sections have been obtained with the photon tagging facility and the Crystal Ball calorimeter at MAMI-C. The measurement uses a novel $K^+$…

The capture of K$^-$ mesons on nucleons bound in nuclei offer a chance to study the $\Sigma \pi$ pairs below the kinematic threshold of the $\bar{\mathrm{K}}$N systems. Various hyperon-pion charged combination are presently under…

Since the discovery of the $\Lambda(1405)$, it remains poorly described by conventional constituent quark models, and it is a candidate for having an "exotic" meson-baryon or "penta-quark" structure, similar to states recently reported in…
We present a theoretical study of the $\gamma\gamma^{*} \to \pi^+\pi^-, \pi^0\pi^0$ processes from the threshold through the $f_2(1270)$ region in the $\pi\pi$ invariant mass. We adopt the Omn\`es representation in order to account for…
The processes of $K^-p \to \pi^0 \pi^0 \Sigma^0$ and $K^- p \to \pi^0 \Lambda(1405)$ are studied within the effective Lagrangian approach. In addition to the ``background" contribution from the $u$-channel nucleon pole term, contribution…
