We study finite temperature effects on dilepton production from pion-pion annihilation in hot hadronic matter. The softening of the pion dispersion relation in a medium is found to enhance the production rate of dileptons with invariant…
The ABC effect - a puzzling low-mass enhancement in the $\pi\pi$ invariant mass spectrum - is known from inclusive measurements of two-pion production in nuclear collisions, where it always showed up, if the participating nucleons fused to…
We present a perturbative calculation of baryon pair production in two-photon collisions, $\gamma \gamma \to B \bar{B}$, in which baryons are treated as quark-diquark systems. Our approach accounts for constituent mass effects in a…
We discuss central exclusive diffractive production of light mesons in the reactions $pp \to pp\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $pp \to ppK^{+}K^{-}$. The calculation is based on a tensor-pomeron approach. We include a purely diffractive dipion…
The pion-production $\pi^+ A \to \pi^+\pi^{\pm} A'$ reactions were studied on nuclei $^{2}H$, $^{12}C$, $^{40}Ca$ and $^{208}Pb$ at a pion energy of $T_{\pi^{+}}$=283 MeV using the CHAOS spectrometer. The experimental results are reduced to…
The pion electromagnetic form factor at finite temperature is studied using an effective chiral lagrangian that includes explicitly vector mesons. We find that in the time-like region around the rho meson resonance it decreases with…
We investigate p-wave pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions up to next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory. In particular, we show that it is possible to describe simultaneously the p-wave amplitudes in the…
We consider the central exclusive production of the $p\bar{p}$ in the continuum and via resonances in proton-proton collisions at high energies. We discuss the diffractive mechanism calculated within the tensor-pomeron approach including…
The results from an investigation of the incoherent single pion electroweak production on the deuteron in the $\Delta$(1232) region are reported. The importance of including the nucleon-nucleon final state interactions in extracting the…
We present a systematic analysis of backward pion photoproduction for the reactions gamma p -> pi0 p and gamma p -> pi+ n. Regge phenomenology is applied at invariant collision energies above 3 GeV in order to fix the reaction amplitude. A…
The reaction $p + d \rightarrow p + d + X$ was studied at 0.8-2.0 GeV proton beam energies with the ANKE magnetic spectrometer at the COSY synchrotron storage ring. The proton-deuteron pairs emerging with high momenta, 0.6-1.8 GeV/$c$, were…
We have done a theoretical study of the $\gamma d \to \pi^0 \eta d$ reaction starting with a realistic model for the $\gamma N \to \pi^0 \eta N$ reaction that reproduces cross sections and polarization observables at low energies and…

The results from the first kinematically complete measurement of the dd --> 4Hepipi reaction are reported. The aim was to investigate a long standing puzzle regarding the origin of the peculiar pipi-invariant mass distributions appearing in…
Recent experimental data on antibaryon production outside nucleon-nucleon kinematical limits have been obtained in Pb-Pb collisions at SPS energies. We present a possible explanation for this phenomenon based on the existence of collective…
We have studied charged current one pion production induced by $\nu_\mu(\bar\nu_\mu)$ from some nuclei. The calculations have been done for the incoherent pion production processes from these nuclear targets in the $\Delta$ dominance model…
For a long time it was known that deuteron, as a weakly coupled nucleon pair, has no excited states. However, A.M. Baldin et al, commenting results of the first physical experiment with accelerated nuclei at JINR synchrophasotron, assumed…
We study the rate for the production of ${B B^\pm \pi^\mp}$, where the sign of the charged pion tags the flavor content of the neutral $B$ meson. We estimate this branching ratio, employing the heavy meson chiral effective theory. We find…
Recently, deeply bound pionic states were found experimentally in (d, $^3$He) reactions on $^{208}$Pb. They found an isolated peak structure in the bound region below the pion production threshold. We study theoretically these excitation…
In frame of a phenomenological approach based on Compton-like Feynman amplitudes, we study multi-pion production in antiproton nucleon collisions. The main interest of this reaction is related to the possibility to study the properties of…
