We analyse the production and propagation of kaons and antikaons in Ni + Ni reactions from 0.8--1.85 GeV/u within a coupled channel transport approach including the channels $BB \to K^+YN, \pi B\to K^+Y, BB \to NN K \bar{K}, \pi B\to N…

Data from KEK on subthreshold antiproton as well as on pi(+-) and K(+-) production in proton-nucleus reactions are described at projectile energies between 3.5 and 12.0 GeV. We use a model which considers a hadron-nucleus reaction as an…
We analyse the $pp \to p \Lambda K$ cross section recently measured at COSY arguing that the enhancement of the production cross section at energies close to the reaction threshold should be due to the $\Lambda p$ final state interaction.…
The electromagnetic kaon production amplitudes associated to Lambda/Sigma hyperons can be described by phenomenological models, most notably by isobar approaches. Experimental data on kaon production have been collected at ELSA, SPring8,…
