We extend a covariant model, tested before in the spacelike region for the physical and lattice QCD regimes, to a calculation of the gamma* N -> Delta reaction in the timelike region, where the square of the transfered momentum, q^2, is…
The resonance $\Delta(1232)$ with spin-parity ${3 \over 2}^+$, which contributes dominantly to the reactions like $\gamma N \to \pi N$ and $NN \to NN\pi$ at intermediate energies, may be expected to be produced in characteristically…
We briefly summarize current experimental and theoretical results on the $\pi^0$ Dalitz decay, including the new value for the ratio $R={\Gamma(\pi^0\to e^+e^-\gamma(\gamma))}/{\Gamma(\pi^0\to\gamma\gamma)}=11.978(6)\times10^{-3}$, which is…

Electromagnetic properties provide information about the structure of strongly interacting systems and allow for independent tests of hadronic models. The radiative decay of the Delta(1700) is studied, which appears dynamically generated in…
We report the first observation of the Dalitz decay $\eta' \to \gamma e^+e^-$, based on a data sample of 1.31 billion $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The $\eta'$ mesons are produced via the $J/\psi \to \gamma \eta'$…
The Dalitz decay $H\to\,f\bar{f}\gamma$ is calculated for very small $f\bar{f}$ invariant masses where the $f\bar{f}$ pair could be mistaken for a photon in analysis of $H\to\gamma\gamma$ decays. Using the ATLAS cuts and the full Dalitz…
The decay Delta^+ --> p gamma is studied in the 1/N_c expansion of QCD. The ratio of the helicity amplitudes is determined to be A_{3/2}/A_{1/2} = \sqrt{3} + O(1/N_c^2). Equivalently, the ratio E2/M1 of the multipole amplitudes is predicted…

The damping mechanisms of the Delta(1232) resonance in nuclei are studied by analyzing the quasi-free decay reactions 12C(pi+,pi+ p)11B and 12C(3He,t pi+ p)11B and the 2p emission reactions 12C(pi+,pp)10B and 12C(3He,t pp)10B. The…
