For resonances decaying in a finite volume, the simple identification of state and eigenvalue is lost. The extraction of the scattering amplitude is a major challenge as we demonstrate by extrapolating the physical S_{11} amplitude of…
We study pi eta scattering in a model which starts from the tree diagrams of a non-linear chiral Lagrangian including appropriate resonances. Previously, models of this type were applied to pi pi and pi K scattering and were seen to require…
We report the results of a phase-shift analysis (PSA) of the low-energy $\pi^\pm p$ elastic-scattering data. Following the method which we had set forth in our previous PSA (Matsinos et al., 2006), we first investigate the self-consistency…
A meson-exchange model for pion-nucleon scattering was previously constructed using a three-dimensional reduction scheme of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for a model Lagrangian involving \pi, \eta, N, \Delta, \rho, and \sigma fields. We…

Electromagnetic structure functions for electron-proton scattering are used as a test of the QCD improved parton model at low and moderate Q. Two parameterizations which work well in ep scattering at low Q are used to evaluate the inelastic…
We investigate the electroproduction of eta mesons below a center of momentum energy of 1.6 GeV, with particular emphasis on the roles of the N*(1535) and N*(1520) resonances. Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we show that the…
We analyze Pion Nucleon Scattering up to 700 MeV using a simple, relativistic, unitary model\cite{1}. The kernel of the integral equation includes nucleon, roper, delta, D_13 as well as S_11 poles with their corresponding crossed pole terms…
The hadronic decays eta' -> eta pi pi are studied in the frameworks of large-Nc Chiral Perturbation Theory, at lowest and next-to-leading orders, and Resonance Chiral Theory in the leading 1/Nc approximation. Higher order effects such as…
We calculate the electromagnetic corrections to the isospin invariant mixing angle and to the two eigenphases for the $s$-, $p_{1/2}$- and $p_{3/2}$-partial waves for $\pi^- p$ elastic and charge exchange scattering. These corrections have…
The inclusive electromagnetic responses in the quasi-elastic region are calculated with a model which considers the terms of the cluster expansion containinga single correlation line. The validity of this model is studied by comparing, in…
A pi-pi, Kbar-K, and rho-rho(omega-omega) fully coupled channel model is used to predict the lowest isospin S, P, D, F-wave phase shifts and inelasticities for elastic pi-pi scattering from threshold to 2.0 GeV. As input the S-matrix is…
Spectra of p-p and pi-p scattering at beam momenta between 6 and 30 GeV/c have been reanalysed. These show strong excitation of N* resonances, the strongest one corresponding to the "scalar" P11 excitation (breathing mode) at m_o= 1400+-10…
We consider two-photon exchange (TPE) in the elastic electron-proton scattering and evaluate the effect of \pi N (pion + nucleon) intermediate hadronic states. Among different \pi N states, we concentrate on the P33 channel; thus we…
We reinvestigate the experimental data on $\omega$--meson production in pion-nucleon collisions based on both an analytical approach and a Monte Carlo simulation. Our analysis allows us to study the kinematical peculiarities of the…
