We present a model of baryonic matter which contains free constituent quarks in addition to bound constituent quarks in nucleons. In addition to the common linear sigma-model we include the exchange of vector-mesons. The percentage of free…
We investigate the modification of meson spectral densities in dense nuclear matter at zero temperature. These effects are studied in a fully relativistic mean field model which goes beyond the linear density approximation and also includes…
We have investigated a prototype of kaonic nuclei, "$K^-pp$", with a coupled-channel Complex Scaling Method (ccCSM). Combining the ccCSM with Feshbach projection method, we can handle a coupled-channel problem effectively as a…
We calculate the $00^{++}$-wave two-meson spectra for the reactions $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$, $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $\gamma\gamma\to K^0\bar K^0$ and $\gamma\gamma\to K^+ K^-$ on the basis of: (i) the results of the $K$-matrix…
The FOPI Collaboration at the GSI SIS-18 synchrotron measured charged kaons from central and semi-central collisions of Ni+Ni at a beam energy of 1.91A GeV. We present the distribution of the K$^-$\K$^+$ ratio on the energy vs polar angle…
We study the radiative $\phi\to K^0\bar{K}^0\gamma$ decay within a phenomenological framework by considering the contributions of the $f_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(980)$ scalar resonances. We calculate the branching ratio $B(\phi\to…
The formation of $\alpha$ particle on nuclear surface has been a fundamental problem since the early age of nuclear physics. It strongly affects the $\alpha$ decay lifetime of heavy and superheavy elements, level scheme of light nuclei, and…
In this work we calculate the decay widths of $\phi(2170)$ to $\phi\eta$ and $\phi\eta^\prime$ by considering $\phi(2170)$ as a $\phi K\bar K$ state, with $K\bar K$ clustering as $f_0(980)$. These decay widths have been recently determined…
We analyze the effects of an in-medium broadening of nucleon resonances on the exclusive photoproduction of mesons on nuclei as well as on the total photoabsorption cross sections in a transport calculation. We show that the resonance…
We consider $K^-$ nucleon elastic and inelastic scattering in isospin symmetric nuclear matter. It is found that the proper description of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance structure in nuclear matter requires a self-consistent approach. Then…
Inclusive studies of nuclear photoabsorption have provided clear evidence of medium modifications but the results have not yet been explained in a model independent way. A deeper understanding of the situation is anticipated from a detailed…
Radiative decays of the $\phi$ meson have been studied using a data sample of about 19 million $\phi$ decays collected by the CMD-2 detector at VEPP-2M collider in Novosibirsk. From selected $e^+e^-\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ and…
The astrophysical $s$-process is one of the two main processes forming elements heavier than iron. A key outstanding uncertainty surrounding $s$-process nucleosynthesis is the neutron flux generated by the ${}^{22}\mathrm{Ne}(\alpha,…
The ratio of the alpha-decay widths of a bare nucleus and the related atom is calculated. Both the change of the form and thus the penetrability of the potential barrier and the effect of reflection in the classically-allowed region…
We review recent work on various topics related to the modification of kaon properties in nuclei. After a brief exposition of the kaon-nucleon and kaon-nucleus interaction, results from the application to kaonic atoms, renormalization of…
The nucleon resonances are investigated within a dynamical coupled-channels model of pi N and gamma N reactions up to the invariant mass W = 2 GeV. The meson-baryon (MB) channels included in the calculations are MB = pi N, eta N, K Lambda,…
Medium modifications of the $\pi \omega \rho$ vertex are analyzed in context of the $\omega \to \pi^0 \gamma^\ast$ and $\rho \to \pi \gamma^\ast$ decays in nuclear matter. A relativistic hadronic model with mesons, nucleons, and…
The relativistic mean field (RMF) model is applied to a system of nucleons and a $\bar K$ meson, interacting via scalar and vector boson fields. The model incorporates the standard RMF phenomenology for bound nucleons and, for the $\bar K$…
We investigate the properties of charmonia in a thermal medium, showing that with increasing temperature the decay widths of these mesons behave in a non-trivial way. Employing a potential model with interaction potential extracted from…
