The near-forward cross section for the pp -> pn pi^+ reaction has been measured at 492 MeV by using the large acceptance ANKE magnetic spectrometer placed at an internal target position of the storage ring COSY-Juelich. Protons and pions…
Cross sections for the p($e,e'\pi^{+}$)n process on $^1$H, $^2$H, $^{12}$C, $^{27}$Al, $^{63}$Cu and $^{197}$Au targets were measured at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in order to extract the nuclear…
We review the recent developments of studies on $e^+ e^- \to t\bar{t}$ in the threshold region. It has been shown that the top threshold cross sections will be able to provide many important and interesting physics. Due to the large mass…
We investigate near-threshold $J/\psi$ photoproduction off the nucleon, focusing on hadronic rescattering effects induced by open-charm meson-baryon intermediate states. Beyond the conventional Pomeron-exchange mechanism, the $\bar…
The problem of the final state interaction in quasi-elastic $(e,e')$ scattering at large $Q^2$, is investigated by exploiting the idea that the ejected nucleon needs a finite amount of time to assume its asymptotic form. It is shown that…
The experimental results for strong interaction effects in antiprotonic atoms by the PS209 collaboration consist of high quality data for several sequences of isotopes along the periodic table. Global analysis of these data in terms of a…

For contact-interaction searches at the Linear Collider, we discuss the advantages of polarizing both the electron and the positron beams as compared with polarizing only the electron beam. In particular, for the processes e^+e^-\to…

We use recent data that show a narrow peak around $\sqrt{s}=2.37\ \text{GeV}$ in the $pn \to d \pi^+ \pi^-$ cross section, with about double strength at the peak than in the analogous $pn \to d \pi^0 \pi^0$ reaction, and, assuming that it…
The sensitivity of polarization observables in the reaction $NN \to NN \phi$ slightly above the threshold is studied with respect to the details of the one-boson exchange model and a possible admixture of hidden strangeness in the nucleon.…
We study the threshold $\phi$-meson production in the process $\Delta+N\to N+N+\phi$, which appears as a possible important mechanism in high energy nuclei-nuclei collisions. The isotopic invariance of the strong interaction and the…
We present calculations of the invariant mass spectra of the $\Lambda$p system for the exclusive $p p \to K^+ \Lambda p$ reaction with the aim of studying the final state interaction between the $\Lambda$-hyperon and the proton. The…
Total cross sections for the pp --> pp eta' reaction have been measured in the excess energy range from Q = 1.53 MeV to Q = 23.64 MeV. The experiment has been performed at the internal installation COSY-11 using a stochastically cooled…
We present a three-body formalism describing final-state interaction effects. The three-body enhancement factor is derived by expanding the complete three-particle wave function in hyperspherical harmonics.
After a brief overview of relevant studies on one-nucleon knockout showing the importance of quantitatively understanding the origin of the quenched spectroscopic factors extracted from data, attention is focussed on two-nucleon emission as…
We sketch some recent ideas proposed as the mechanism behind the puzzling experimental results on baryon-antibaryon production in e+e- annihilation close to threshold. The essential new point in the proposed mechanism is that it is a…
We study the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$, with a hard photon radiated from the initial state. About 60,000 fully reconstructed events have been selected from 89 $fb^{-1}$ of BaBar data. The invariant mass of the hadronic…
We consider the $\pi^+\pi^-\pi_0\gamma$ final state in electron-positron annihilation at cms energies not far from the threshold. Both initial and final state radiations of the hard photon is considered but without interference between…
Data on the total cross sections for the pp -> pp eta, pn -> pn eta, and pn -> d eta reactions and the pp -> pp eta differential cross section near threshold are analysed in a one-meson-exchange model. After including initial and…
