We analyze $J/\psi-$ production in nucleon-nucleon collisions near threshold in the framework of a general model independent formalism, which can be applied to any reaction $N+N\to N+N+V^0$, where $V^0=\omega$, $\phi$, or $J/\psi$. Such…

Intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions can produce a spin polarization of the projectile-like species. Spin polarization has been observed for both nucleon removal and nucleon pickup processes. Qualitative agreement with measured spin…
We discuss two aspects of polarisation in hard exclusive meson production: the leading-twist selection rule for the meson helicity, and the different partial waves of a (pi pi)-pair which may or may not be due to the decay of a rho.
Accurate knowledge of cross sections for pion production in proton-proton collisions finds wide application in particle physics, astrophysics, cosmic ray physics and space radiation problems, especially in situations where an incident…
