The $\Lambda$-hypernucleus production by $A(p, pK^+)_{\Lambda}B$ reactions is investigated within the framework of the distorted wave impulse approximation(DWIA). The amplitude for the elementary process is evaluated in a fully covariant…
In this paper we present recent results from the NA49 experiment for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons produced in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40, 80 and 158 A$\cdot$GeV. Transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions for $\Lambda$…
We report measurements of the charm-anticharm production asymmetries for $\Lambda_c^+$, $\Sigma_c^{++}$, $\Sigma_c^0$, $\Sigma_c^{++*}$, $\Sigma_c^{0*}$, and $\Lambda_c^+(2625)$ baryons from the Fermilab photoproduction experiment FOCUS…
The photo-production of $\phi$ mesons from Li, C, Al, and Cu at forward angles has been measured at $E_gamma$=1.5--2.4 GeV. The number of events for incoherent phi photo-production is found to have a target mass number dependence of…
We study the photoproduction of the $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\Sigma(1400)$ hyperon resonances, the latter of which is not a well established state. We evaluate the $s$-, $t$- and $u$-channel diagrams in the Born approximation by employing the…
In the collision of two heavy ions, the strong repulsion coming from the Coulomb field is enough to produce $e^+e^-$ pair(s) from vacuum fluctuations. The energy is provided by the kinetic energy of the ions and the Coulomb interaction at…

The photoproduction of $\omega$ mesons on LH_2, C and Nb has been studied for incident photon energies from 900 to 1300 MeV using the CB/TAPS detector at ELSA. The $\omega$ line shape does not show any significant difference between the…
At very high energies, pair production ($\gamma\to e^+e^-$) exhibits many interesting features. The momentum transfer from the target is very small, so the reaction probes the macroscopic properties of the target, rather than individual…
The dynamics of the strangeness-exchange reactions antiproton-proton to AntiLambda-Lambda, AntiLambda-Sigma or AntiSigma-Sigma is discussed, either at the hadron level, in terms of strange-meson exchange, or at the quark level, in terms of…
Measurements of the near threshold Lambda and Sigma0 production via the pp-->pK+Lambda/Sigma0 reaction at COSY--11 have shown that the Lambda/Sigma0 cross section ratio exceeds the value at high excess energies Q>=300 MeV by an order of…
The study of hyperon resonances has entered a new era of precision with advent of high-statistics photoproduction data from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. These data have multi-particle final states, allowing clean identification of…
We connect the observed under-abundances of Li and Be in dwarfs, with recent results on nuclear cross sections at low energies: for collisions of protons with atomic or molecular targets, the measured cross sections seem too high with…
The studies of hyperon production performed at COSY-11 are summarized. The results of the experiments in the reaction channels pp-->pK+Lambda, pp-->pK+Sigma0, and pp-->nK+Sigma+ are shown. Excitation functions fromthreshold up to about…
After pioneering works on hypernuclei, strangeness production mechanisms have been studied in hadron collisions and photoreactions in the sixties. Recent experiments at SATURNE and COSY, in the hadronic sector, as well as ELSA and JLab, in…
Previous approaches to the photo- and electro-production of strangeness off the proton, based upon effective hadronic Lagrangians, are extended here to incorporate the so called off-shell effects inherent to the fermions with spin >= 3/2. A…
The 13LambdaC hypernucleus was studied by measuring gamma rays in coincidence with the 13C(K-, pi-) reaction. gamma rays from the 1/2- and 3/2- states, which are the partners of the spin-orbit doublet states with a predominant configuration…
Multiple polarization observables must be measured to access the amplitude structure of pseudoscalar meson photoproduction off the proton. The hyperon-producing reactions are especially attractive to study, since the weak decays allow…
A recently introduced relativistic nuclear energy density functional, constrained by features of low-energy QCD, is extended to describe the structure of hypernuclei. The density-dependent mean field and the spin-orbit potential of a…
One of the goals of hypernuclear physics is to study the properties of baryon-baryon interaction including the strangeness contribution. Double hypernuclei can provide information about the $\Lambda\Lambda$ interaction in addition to the…
