Pion scattering and electro-production amplitudes have been computed in a coupled-channel framework incorporating quasi-bound quark-model states, based on the Cloudy Bag model. All relevant low-lying nucleon resonances in the P33, P11, and…
I analyse the hypothesis that deviations from the linear meson mass spectra appear due to the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. It is shown that the linear mass spectrum for the light, non-strange vector and axial-vector mesons is…

The pattern of chiral symmetry breaking is exploited to compute vector and axial-vector pion matrix elements in a uniform magnetic field. Our results are model independent, and thereby constitute low-energy theorems that must be obeyed by…
Peripheral nucleon-nucleon scattering is analysed in the framework of an effective field theory. Distorted-wave methods are used to remove the effects of one-pion exchange. Two-pion exchange and recoil corrections to one-pion exchange are…
Motivated by the 1/Nc expansion, we present a simple model of pion-pion scattering as a sum of a `current-algebra' contact term and resonant pole exchanges. The model preserves crossing symmetry as well as unitarity up to 1.2 GeV. Key…
The $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude in the $\sigma$-channel is studied at finite baryonic density in the framework of a chiral unitary approach which successfully reproduces the meson meson phase shifts and generates the $f_0$ and $\sigma$…
We discuss a number of two loop (vertex) integrals relevant for pi K scattering at threshold. As such these are functions of two well separated mass scales, M\_pi/M\_K << 1. The method of regions allows an expansion in this mass ratio prior…
We study the self-energy amplitudes for the rho-omega meson system produced by an effective field theory model at the quark level characterized by a finite range quark-quark interaction and an isospin breaking bare quark mass difference…
The results of a model for meson-meson scattering are studied. The model is shown to be capable of on the one hand reproducing the scattering data, while on the other hand a quark-antiquark confinement spectrum can be determined. It is…
Pion-kaon ($\pi K$) pairs occur frequently as final states in heavy-particle decays. A consistent treatment of $\pi K$ scattering and production amplitudes over a wide energy range is therefore mandatory for multiple applications: in…

Using holographic models where chiral symmetry is broken through IR b.c.'s, we determine a novel set of relations between QCD matrix elements. In particular, we find that the amplitudes of the three processes pi pi->pi pi, gamma gamma->pi…
A dynamical approach is developed to predict the $\pi N$ scattering amplitudes starting with the constituent quark models. The first step is to apply a variational method to solve the three-quark bound state problem. The resulting wave…
