Coherent pion photoproduction, $d(\gamma,\pi^0)d$, is calculated in a coupled channels approach in momentum space using an elementary production operator that includes Born terms, vector meson exchange and $M1/E2$ $\Delta$-resonance…
The presently available data for the reaction ${\gamma}p{\to}\eta^\prime{p}$ are analyzed in terms of a model in which the dominant production mechanism is the exchange of the vector mesons $\omega$ and $\rho$. To describe the data at…
The eta-deuteron scattering amplitude is calculated with a recent K-matrix model of eta-N interactions. The existence of a narrow virtual state in the eta-deuteron system is inferred. This state couples strongly to the eta-d channel but its…

To explain \eta-distributions at RHIC energies we consider the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. To account for hadrons produced in the central region, we assume existence of third source located there (y \approx 0) in addition to two sources…

Data on low-energy hadron production in collisions of nucleons, pions and kaons with light nuclei are needed for many astrophysical and accelerator applications. Modern simulations have reached a level of accuracy that the lack of detailed…

We discuss the difficulties in testing the hadron models by using the N^* parameters extracted from the empirical amplitude analyses of the pi-N and gamma-N reaction data. As an alternative or perhaps a more advantageous approach, we…
We analyse data on forward eta-meson photoproduction off a proton target and extract the eta to gamma gamma decay width utilizing the Primakoff effect. The hadronic amplitude that enters into our analysis is strongly constrained because it…

We calculate the elastic and inelastic $\omega N\to \omega N, \to \pi N, \to \rho N, \to \rho \pi N, \to \pi \pi N, \to \sigma N$ reactions within a boson exchange approximation where the $\omega\rho\pi$ coupling constant and form factor…
The photoproduction of a neutral pion on the deuteron is considered in the energy region around the eta threshold, where a bump-like structure was observed at very backward pion angles. Different dynamical aspects which may be responsible…
A model calculation for pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions is presented. Direct production, pion rescattering and contributions from pair diagrams are taken into account. The amplitudes for the elementary processes are based on…
