A study of the $\pi^0\pi^0$ system produced in charge exchange $\pi^-p$ collisions at 38 and 100 GeV/c and in central $pp$ interactions at 450 GeV/c has been carried out. The $S$ wave has rather a complicated structure in both processes…

The $p p \to n K^+ \Sigma^+(1385)$ reaction is a very good isospin $3/2$ filter for studying $\Delta^{++*}$ resonance decaying to $K^+\Sigma^+(1385)$. Within the effective Lagrangian method, we investigate the $\Sigma(1385)$ (spin-parity…
