Photoproduction of the $\Lambda^*(1520)$ resonance of spin-parity ${3\over2}^-$ off the proton target is investigated within the Regge framework where the $t$-channel reggeization is applied for the $K(494)+K^*(892)+K_2^*(1430)$ exchanges…

We estimate the reaction mechanisms for the photoproduction of the Theta^+(1540) resonance on the nucleon, through K and K^* Regge exchanges. We compare the size of the cross sections for the gamma n -> K^- Theta^+ and gamma p -> K^0 bar…

In this work we investigate the reaction $\gamma p\to\pi^-\Delta^{++}$ in the Reggeized model for $\pi(138)+\rho(775)+a_2(1320)$ exchanges in the $t$-channel. For a convergence of the reaction cross section at high energies the minimal…
Photoproduction of eta mesons from nucleons can provide valuable information about the excitation spectrum of the nucleons. The angular dependence of photoproduction in the photon-induced reaction is investigated in the multi-source thermal…
The background due to the direct diffractive dissociation of the photon into the $\pi^+\pi^-$-pair to the "elastic" diffractive $\rho^0$-meson production in electron-proton collisions is calculated. At large $Q^2$ the interference between…
We investigate $\gamma p \to K^{*+} \Lambda$ reaction within a Regge approach. For the gauge invariance of the scattering amplitude, we reggeize the s-channel and contact term amplitudes as well as the $t$-channel amplitude. We obtain the…

The light-quark non-strange scalar mesons a0(980), f0(980), f0(1370), a0(1450), f0(1500) and f0(1710) are of great interest as there is no generally accepted view of their structure which can encompass q-q-qbar-qbar, molecular, q-qbar and…
