The strong coupling of rho meson to the nucleon produces $s$ and $p$ wave rho meson nucleon $(\rho N)$ resonances. In a nucleus, the $\rho N$ resonance-hole polarization generates the optical potential or self-energy for the rho meson. The…
The energy transfer spectra have been calculated for the coherent $\eta$ meson production in the proton nucleus reaction. The elementary reaction occurring in the nucleus is considered as $ pN \to pN^*(1535) $; $ N^*(1535) \to N\eta $. The…
The interference of the $\rho^0$ and $\omega$ mesons has been studied in the hadronic and leptonic decay channels, i.e., dipion and dilepton decay channels respectively, but this interference is not studied yet in the semihadronic or…
We analyze the production of $\rho$-mesons in $p + A$ reactions including both the production by proton-nucleon as well as pion-nucleon collisions within a coupled channel transport approach. The final state interactions of the $\rho$-meson…

We describe the interference between amplitudes $e^+e^- \to \rho \to \gamma\pi^+\pi^-$ and $e^+e^- \to \phi \to \gamma f_0 \to \gamma\pi^+\pi^-$, where $f_0$ meson is considered in the frameworks of the four-quark model and the model of the…

In the last years much work has been done to learn about the properties of the $\rho$-meson in nuclear matter. In a calculation of the in-medium spectralfunction of the $\rho$ we find that it is strongly modified by baryonic resonances,…
