We investigate the interactions and chiral properties of the four spin-$\thalf$-baryons : $N^-(D_{13})$, $N^+(P_{13})$, $\Delta^+(P_{33})$ and $\Delta^-(D_{33})$ together with the nucleon. We construct the $SU(2)_R \times SU(2)_L$ invariant…
Chiral effective lagrangians may differ in their prediction of meson-nucleon scattering amplitudes off-meson-mass-shell, but must yield identical S-matrix elements. We argue that the effective meson mass in nuclear matter obtained from…
Chiral potentials are derived for the interactions between Goldstone bosons and pseudoscalar charmed mesons up to next-to-next-to-leading order in a covariant chiral effective field theory with explicit vector charmed-meson degrees of…
Chiral dynamics is a pretty mature field. Nonetheless, there are many exciting new developments. In this opening talk, I consider S-wave, isospin-zero pion-pion scattering and the calculation of the width of the lightest baryon resonances…
Antikaons in dense nuclear matter are studied using a chiral unitary approach which incorporates the $s$- and p-waves of the $\bar K N$ interaction. We include, in a self-consistent way, Pauli blocking effects, meson self-energies modified…
The $K^-pp$ system is investigated using a variational approach with realistic two-body interactions: the Argonne v18 $NN$ potential and an energy dependent $\bar{K}N$ effective interaction derived from chiral SU(3) coupled-channel…
Using a chiral unitary approach for meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness zero sector, where the $N^*(1535)$ and $\Delta^*(1700)$ resonances are dynamically generated, we study the reactions $\gamma p \to \pi^0 \eta p$ and $\gamma p…
The pole structure of the $\Lambda(1405)$ has been a topic of debate for a long time. Chiral perturbation theory predicts that its experimental spectrum may be explained by a two pole structure originating in the $SU(3)$ chiral dynamics of…
Two-particle momentum correlation functions as measured in heavy ion collisions or in high-energetic proton-proton collisions are studied. Special emphasis is put on systems like $\Lambda\Lambda$ or $K^-p$ where effects from the coupling to…
We study the strong interaction S-wave \Lambda\pi phase shift in the region of the \Xi mass in the framework of a relativistic chiral unitary approach based on coupled channels. All parameters have been previously determined in a fit to…
We construct valence-space Hamiltonians for use in shell-model calculations, where the residual two-body interaction is based on symmetry principles and the low-momentum expansion from chiral effective field theory. In addition to the usual…
We investigate the interaction of an antikaon ($K^-$) with the $^{6}$Li nucleus, described as an $\alpha + d$ cluster system. The study aims to explore the formation of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance through the $K^-d$ subsystem in the…

New strong coupled-channel $\bar{K}N - \pi \Sigma$ potential, reproducing all existing experimental data and suitable for using in an accurate few-body calculations, is constructed. Isospin breaking effects of direct inclusion of the…
We discuss an on-shell approach to pion-nucleon physics that is consistent order by order in a $1/f_{\pi}$ expansion with the chiral reduction formula, crossing, and relativistic unitarity. A number of constraints between the on-shell…
This study focuses on the interaction of the pseudoscalar meson octet and the baryon decuplet. In the continuum, it is observed that several $J^{P}=\frac32^-$ baryon resonances can be produced by the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction in…
The renormalization, finiteness and off-shellness of short distance power like singular interactions is discussed. We show analytically that the renormalizability of the off-shell scattering amplitude relies completely on the corresponding…
