Surprisingly, the contribution to the cosmic opacity to UHE ($E>10^{18} \, \rm eV$) $\gamma$-rays has been systematically computed so far for the $\gamma \gamma \to e^+e^-$ and $\gamma \gamma \to e^+ e^- e^+ e^-$ processes alone. We go a…

We analyze the $K^-p\to K^+\Xi^-$ and $K^-p\to K^0\Xi^0$ processes in the energy region $1.8<\sqrt{s}<2.8$ GeV within an effective Lagrangian approach. The $\Lambda(1800)$ and $\Sigma(2250)$ resonances, along with the ground states $\Sigma$…
