The reactions gamma p -> K+ Lambda and gamma p -> K* Lambda are analyzed within perturbative QCD, allowing for diquarks as quasi-elementary constituents of baryons. The diquark-model parameters and the quark-diquark distribution amplitudes…
We have developed a covariant isobar model to phenomenologically explain the four possible isospin channels of $K\Sigma$ photoproduction. To obtain a consistent reaction amplitude, which is free from the lower-spin background problem, we…
We consider the reaction $\gamma p \to M p$, with M being either a $\Phi$ or a $J/\Psi$ meson, within perturbative QCD treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. The phenomenological couplings of gauge bosons to (spatially extended)…
We have studied the $\gamma p \to K^0 \Sigma^+$ reaction in the energy region around the $K^* \Lambda$ and $K^* \Sigma$ thresholds, where the CBELSA/TAPS cross section shows a sudden drop and the differential cross section experiences a…
In high energy electron-ion colliders, a new way to probe nucleon structure becomes available through diffractive reactions, where the incident particle produces a very energetic almost forward particle. QCD describes these reactions as due…
We calculate the differential cross section and single-polarization observables for the reaction $\gamma p \to \Phi p$ within perturbative QCD, treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. The phenomenological couplings of gauge bosons to…

The kaon photoproduction is analyzed up to $E_\gamma^{\rm Lab}$=2.0 GeV by using an isobaric model based on effective Lagrangians and by taking a cross symmetry into account. Both {\it pseudovector} and {\it pseudoscalar} couplings for…

The question of pseudovector versus pseudoscalar coupling schemes for the kaon-hyperon-nucleon interaction is re-examined for the reaction $\gamma p\to K^+ \Lambda$ in several isobaric models. These models typically include Born terms,…
At hadron colliders the dominant production mechanism of $(\bar bc)$ mesons with large transverse momentum is due to parton fragmentation. We compute the rates and transverse momentum spectra for production of S-wave and P-wave $(\bar b c)$…
The production and propagation of mesons ($\pi, \eta, \rho, \omega, \Phi, K, \bar{K}, J/\Psi$) in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 1 - 200 GeV/u is studied within the covariant transport approach HSD, which explicitly…
The diffractive heavy quark cross sections are estimated considering photon-Pomeron ($\gamma \pom$) interactions in hadron - hadron at RHIC, Tevatron, and CERN LHC energies. We assume the validity of the hard diffractive factorization and…

We study hyperon resonances by solving coupled channel scattering equations. The coupled systems include pseudoscalar- and vector-baryon channels. The parameters of the model are restricted by making a $\chi^2$-fit to the cross section data…

In high energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy with shower arrays the most discriminating signature of the photon-induced showers against the background of hadron-induced cosmic-ray is the content of muons in the observed events. In the electromagnetic…
