The $\eta'$ mass reduction in the nuclear medium is expected from the degeneracy of the pseudoscalar-singlet and octet mesons when chiral symmetry is manifest. In this study, we investigate the $\eta'N$ 2body interaction which is the…

The cross section for the reaction $dd\rightarrow \,^4\!H\!e\,\eta$ close to threshold is estimated in a two-step model, similar to that which successfully describes near-threshold $pd\rightarrow \,^3\!H\!e\,\eta$ production. A $\pi$-meson,…
We investigate the $\eta'$ photoproduction off the nucleon with a particular interest in the effect of the final-state interaction (FSI) of the $\eta'$ meson and nucleon $(\eta'N)$ based on three-flavor linear sigma model. We find an…
We investigate deuteron formation in nuclear matter at finite temperatures within a systematic quantum statistical approach. We consider formation through three-body collisions relevant already at rather moderate densities because of the…
The paper contains a review of the exact or accurate results achieved in the field of the three-body antikaon-nucleon physics. Different states and processes in $\bar{K}NN$ and $\bar{K}\bar{K}N$ systems are considered. In particular,…
Three-body photodisintegration of 3He is calculated in the photon energy range 200 - 400 MeV assuming quasifree absorption on np pairs both in initial quasideuteron and singlet configurations. The model includes the normal nucleonic…
Several observables in two-body deuteron photodisintegration are investigated in the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. Apart from keeping throughout Lorentz covariance, a special attention is paid to inclusion of both the positive…
