A combined analysis of photoproduction data on \gamma p to \pi N, eta N was performed including the data on K Lambda and K Sigma. The data are interpreted in an isobar model with s--channel baryon resonances and pi, rho,(omega), K, and K^*…
Strange particles and hyperfragments in collisions of antiprotons and protons on nuclei have been investigated systematically within a microscopic transport model. The hyperons are produced from the annihilation in antibaryon-baryon…
The study of hyperon decays at the Beijing Electron Spectrometer III (BESIII) is proposed to investigate the events of $J/\psi$ decay into hyperon pairs, which provide a pristine experimental environment at the Beijing Electron--Positron…
Strangeness production has long been proposed as a diagnostic tool for understanding the dynamics of relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this presentation we review the traditional picture of strangeness enhancement as a signature for…
Following Rosner [hep-ph/0312269], we consider B-decay production channels for the exotic I=0 and $I=3/2$ pentaquarks that have been recently reported. We also discuss new search channels for isovector pentaquarks, such as the $\Theta^{*++}…
Measurements are presented of $K^0$ meson and $\Lambda$ baryon production in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering (DIS) in the kinematic range $10 < Q^2 < 70 $GeV$^2$ and $10^{-4} < x < 10^{-2}$. The measurements, obtained using the H1…
Recent results from HERA are presented on a range of topics: charged multiplicities, production of non-strange mesons and strange particles, charm fragmentation, baryons decaying to strange particles, antideuteron production, Bose-Einstein…
The quark structure of the $f_2(1270)$ meson has, for many years, been assumed to be a pure quark-antiquark ($q\bar{q}$) resonance with quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 2^{++}$. Recently, it was proposed that the $f_2(1270)$ is a molecular state…
The enhancement of the ratio of strange to non-strange hadrons with increasing charged-particle multiplicity density is often interpreted as a signature of the medium formed in heavy-ion collisions. However, this effect has also been…
We develop a theoretical framework to study the feed-down effect of higher-lying strange baryons on the spin polarization of the $\Lambda$ hyperon. In this framework, we consider two-body decays through strong, electromagnetic, and weak…
In this paper, we carry out a detailed study on the production of the doubly charmed baryon in deeply inelastic $ep$ scattering (DIS) for $Q^2\in[2, 100]~\textrm{GeV}^2$, at the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) with $E_e=60(140)$ GeV…
Angular distribution of the final particles in the decay $\Lambda_c^+\to K^- \, \Delta (1232)^{++} \to K^- \, p \, \pi^+$ of the polarized charmed baryon is discussed. Asymmetries are proposed which allow for determination of the components…
The production of the excited charmed baryon doublet $\Lambda_c^*$ via fragmentation is studied. An analysis of the subsequent hadronic decays of the doublet within the framework of heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory produces…
Polarized $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ decays at the Z pole are shown to be well suited for probing a large variety of New Physics effects. A new observable is proposed, the angular asymmetry between the $\Lambda_b$ spin and photon…
The electroproduction of kaons on the nucleon is shown to be an ideal tool to extract electromagnetic form factors of strange mesons and hyperons. Longitudinal n(e,e'K0)Lambda cross sections are found to be sensitive to the K0 form factor,…
The stopping behaviour of baryons in massive heavy ion collisions (at SPS, RHIC and LHC) is investigated within different microscopic models. At SPS-energies the predictions range from full stopping to virtually total transparency.…

Inclusive $H_b \to X_s \, \gamma$ decays, with $H_b$ a beauty baryon, are treated exploiting an expansion up to the third order in the inverse of the $b$ quark mass $m_b$ and to LO in $\alpha_s$, keeping the dependence on the hadron spin.…
