The nature of some baryonic resonances is still an unresolved issue. The case of the N*(1535) is particularly interesting in this respect due to the nearby etaN threshold and interference with the N*(1650). The N*(1535) has been described…
We studied the photoproduction of $\psi^{\prime}$ in the forward regions in polarized $\gamma p$ collisions at relevant HERA energies. We found that this reaction is very effective to test the color-octet mechanism which is based on the…
We analyze the double polarization asymmetry of the omega-meson photoproduction in the vector-meson-dominance model of diffractive production and the one-pion exchange model. We find that the longitudinal beam-target asymmetry is very…

We study a new nucleon resonance from eta photoproduction, which was observed at sqrt{s}=1675 MeV with a narrow decay width (~10 MeV) by the Tohoku LNS group as well as the GRAAL collaboration. Using an effective Lagrangian approach, we…
Differential cross-section and single polarization observables in the process gamma p --> K^+ Lambda are investigated within a constituent quark model and a dynamical coupled-channel formalism. The effects of two new nucleon resonances and…
We investigate photoproduction of eta mesons off protons and neutrons within a coupled-channels effective-Lagrangian method which is based on the K-matrix approach. The two-body final channels included are pi-N, eta-N, phi-N, rho-N,…
We study the dependence of neutrino-induced $\gamma/\pi^0$ production ($\stackrel{ {(-)}}{\nu_\mu} + A \to \stackrel{ {(-)}}{\nu_\mu}(\mu) +\gamma/\pi^0 + X$) on the target nucleus A, at the $\Delta$ resonance mass region. Our conclusion is…
Revised analysis of $\Sigma$ beam asymmetry for the $\eta$ photoproduction on the free proton reveals a structure at $W\sim 1.69$ GeV. Fit of the experimental data based on the E429 solution of the SAID partial wave analysis suggests a…
We consider the electromagnetic decays of the orbitally-excited SU(6) 70-plet baryons, to compare the predictions of the naive quark model with those of large-N_c QCD. The helicity amplitudes measured in N^* photoproduction are computed in…
Backward photoproduction of $\omega$ off a proton target is investigated in a Reggeized model where the $u$-channel nucleon Reggeon is constructed from the nucleon Born terms in a gauge invariant way. The $t$-channel meson exchanges are…
A unitary coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model is applied to the combined analysis of the $(\pi,\gamma) N \to K\Lambda$ reactions in the energy region up to 2 GeV. To constrain the resonance couplings to the $K\Lambda$ final state the…
The photoproduction processes of the exotic $\Theta^+(1540)$ baryon and the $\bar{K}^*$ meson from the nucleon targets, i.e., $\gamma n \to K^{*-} \Theta^+$ and $\gamma p \to \bar{K}^{*0} \Theta^+$, are investigated in a hadronic model. We…
