We argue that, because of the peculiar properties of the $\eta'$ meson, it is a promising probe of "chiral" dynamics. In particular, we show that a rotating gluon-dominated plasma might lead to an enhanced production of $\eta'$ w.r.t.…

Models of baryon structure predict a small quadrupole deformation of the nucleon due to residual tensor forces between quarks or distortions from the pion cloud. Sensitivity to quark versus pion degrees of freedom occurs through the $Q^2$…
We present a comparative analysis of two models for the $A( {\gamma,\,\pi N})B$ reaction, which take into account the isobar configurations in the ground state of the nuclei: the $\Delta N$ correlation model and the quasifree pion…

The deuteron spectrum in n+p -> d+pi+pi at k_n = 1.88 GeV/c and theta_d = 0 deg is explained by considering a Delta-Delta excitation as the reaction mechanism for the 2pi production. We study the influence of intermediate Delta-Delta and…
An effective field theory with hadrons and photons is constructed, where the hadronic parameters are determined by fitting elastic $\pi$N scattering data. The predicted pion-induced $\eta$-production on the nucleon agrees well with the…
Recently the concept of the pion cloud in the nucleon turned out to be successful in understanding the Gottfried sum rule violation observed by the New Muon Collaboration and the Drell--Yan asymmetry measured in NA51 at CERN. We propose a…
Reactions A(\gamma, pi^+p) are considered to proceed through the formation of pion-proton pairs on delta constituents in nuclei. We develop the nonrelativistic operator for \Delta^{++}(\gamma, pi^+)p process in an arbitrary frame. The…
From the pion production rates n_{pi} / A_{part} and the pion charge ratios R_{pi} = n_{pi^-} / n_{pi^+} and S_{pi} = n_{pi^0} / (n_{pi^-} + n_{pi^+}), measured in p + A and A + A reactions, it is concluded that the mass of the Delta(1232)…
Photo disintegration of the deuteron and photo pionproduction on the deuteron are described in the region of the $\Delta$-resonance. The two reactions are unitarily coupled. A novel definition of electromagnetic exchange currents in the…

We investigate the effect of the electric formfactor on dilepton production off pp-collisions. In the model we use, the formfactor is separated in a pion-cloud contribution and a Vector Meson Dominance part. We find that the dilepton…
