The properties of $K$ and $\bar K$ mesons in nuclear matter at finite temperature are obtained from a chiral unitary approach in coupled channels which incorporates the $s$- and p-waves of the kaon-nucleon interaction. The in-medium…
The vacuum spectrum of the $\phi$-meson is characterized by its decay into $K{\bar K} $. Modifications of the $K {\bar K}$-loops in baryonic matter change this spectrum. We calculate these in-medium modifications taking both s- and p-wave…
The long mean free path of $K^+$ mesons in nuclear matter makes this particle a suitable messenger for the dynamics of nucleus-nucleus reactions at intermediate energies (100 MeV to 3 GeV per nucleon). A prerequisite for this is the…

The propagation of the scalar (\sigma and \delta) and vector (\omega and \rho) mesons in an iso-asymmetric nuclear matter is studied in detail, using the Walecka model. We calculate the invariant masses and spectral functions of the mesons,…
We calculate muon-neutrino ($\nu_{\mu}$) scattering off $^{12}$C via charged current (CC) by exploiting the 236 MeV ${\nu_{\mu}}$ from the kaon-decay-at-rest (KDAR). In this energy region, since both inelastic scattering below the…
The DIRAC experiment at CERN investigated in the reaction $\rm{p}(24~\rm{GeV}/c) + Ni$ the particle pairs $K^+K^-, \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $p \bar{p}$ with relative momentum $Q$ in the pair system less than 100 MeV/c. Because of background…
The momentum dependence of the antikaon optical potential in nuclear matter is obtained from a microscopic and self-consistent calculation using the meson-exchange J\"ulich $\bar{K}N$ interaction. Two self-consistent schemes are discussed,…
Whether the Dirac sea model is right is verifiable. Assuming the Dirac sea is a physical reality, we have one imagination that a negative energy particle(s) in the sea and a usual positive energy particle(s) will form a neutral atom. The…
