The 2H(p,n) charge exchange reaction at T_p=790 MeV is used to study the Delta(1232)-nucleon interaction in the Delta resonance excitation energy region. For the Delta-N potential, a meson exchange model is adopted where pi, rho, omega, and…

A model for the reaction $\gamma p\to\rho^-\Delta^{++}$ is presented with the $t$-channel $\pi+\rho$ exchanges reggeized to describe the reaction up to high energies. Gauge invariance of $\rho$ exchange is discussed in connection with the…
The presently available data for the reaction ${\gamma}p{\to}\eta^\prime{p}$ are analyzed in terms of a model in which the dominant production mechanism is the exchange of the vector mesons $\omega$ and $\rho$. To describe the data at…
We evaluate the photon spectra from the reaction $\pi\rho\ra \pi\gamma$ for the exchange of $\pi$, $\rho$, $\omega$, $\phi$ and $a_1$ as intermediary mesons. It is found that the contributions from the intermediary $a_1$ is more than any…
