A reggeized model for \eta and \eta' photoproduction on the nucleon is presented. In this model, t-channel vector meson exchanges are described in terms of Regge trajectories to comply with the correct high energy behavior. We compare this…
A relativistic covariant one boson exchange model, previously applied to describe elastic nucleon-nucleon scattering, is extended to study $\eta$ production in NN collisions. The transition amplitude for the elementary BN->$\eta$N process…
We investigate eta electroproduction on nuclei for Q^2=2.4 and 3.6 GeV^2 in the framework of a coupled-channel BUU transport model. We analyze the importance of final state interactions and side feeding and compare with findings drawn from…
It is argued that the strong energy dependence of the $p\, d \rightarrow \,^{3\!}H\!e\, \eta$ cross section near threshold is due to a final state interaction between the $\eta$ meson and the $^3$He nucleus. The large scattering length that…
A deep understanding of neutrino-nucleus interaction is crucial for the precise measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters and cross section measurements. Various nuclear effects, such as initial state effects (IS) and Final state…
Coherent $\eta$ meson photoproduction on $^4$He and $^{12}$C is considered in the near-threshold region. The elementary $\eta$ photoproduction operator includes contributions from the $S_{11}(1535)$ and $D_{13}(1520)$ resonances as well as…

The role played by subthreshold meson-baryon dynamics is demonstrated in kaonic-atom, Kbar-nuclear and eta-nuclear bound-state calculations within in-medium models of Kbar-N and eta-N interactions. New analyses of kaonic atom data reveal…
The cross sections for the $p p \to p p \eta$ reaction are evaluated at energies relevant for the HADES, PANDA, and SIS100 experiments at GSI-FAIR. Consideration includes the $\eta$-bremsstrahlung mechanism involving intermediate proton…
We estimate the production cross sections for $\eta_c$ and $\eta_b$ mesons via pomeron-pomeron fusion in peripheral heavy-ion collisions. Total and elastic PP cross sections are calculated in an equivalent pomeron approximation.
Total cross sections for the pp --> pp eta' reaction have been measured in the excess energy range from Q = 1.53 MeV to Q = 23.64 MeV. The experiment has been performed at the internal installation COSY-11 using a stochastically cooled…
The production of the $\eta_c (1S)$ state in proton-proton collisions is probed via its decay to the $p \bar{p}$ final state with the LHCb detector, in the rapidity range $2.0 < y < 4.5$ and in the meson transverse-momentum range $p_T >…
It is shown that the striking energy variation in the $p\, d \rightarrow \mbox{$^{\, 3}{\rm He}$}\, \eta$ cross section near threshold is probably due to a final state interaction associated with a large (complex) $\eta -\mbox{$^{3}{\rm…
In this work, the $\eta^\prime$ meson photoproduction near threshold is studied in the quark model framework. A pseudovector effective Lagrangian is introduced for the $\eta^\prime NN$ coupling and the newly published data from the SAPHIR…
Coherent photoproduction of $\pi^0$-mesons from threshold ($E_{th} \approx$ 136 MeV) throughout the $\Delta$-resonance region and of $\eta$-mesons close to the production threshold ($E_{th} \approx$ 570 MeV for $\eta$) has been measured for…
We are going to perform an inclusive spectroscopy experiment of eta' mesic nuclei with the 12C(p,d) reaction to study in-medium properties of the eta' meson. In nuclear medium, the eta' meson mass may be reduced due to partial restoration…
The production of neutral and charged pions as well as eta mesons is studied in the Delta and N* resonance region, respectively. Heavy A=3 recoils were measured with the GEM detector. The differential cross sections covering the full…
