We have addressed the study of non-leptonic weak decays of heavy hadrons ($\Lambda_b, \Lambda_c, B$ and $D$), with external and internal emission to give two final hadrons, taking into account the spin-angular momentum structure of the…
We discuss model-independent constraints on spin observables in exclusive and inclusive reactions, with special attention to the case of photoproduction.
The amplitude for hard exclusive pseudoscalar meson electroproduction off nucleon (nuclear) targets is computed in QCD within the leading $\alpha_s \ln {Q^2/\lambda_{QCD}^{2}}$ approximation. We show that the distribution of recoil nucleons…
We study the gamma p ---> K^+ Lambda(1405) reaction at energies close to threshold using a chiral unitary model where the resonance is generated dynamically from K^-p interaction with other channels constructed from the octets of baryons…
We show that the contact couplings of neutral pseudoscalar and axial mesons to the nucleon are proportional to $\Delta s$, the fraction of nucleon spin carried by the strange quark sea, and thus are strongly suppressed relative to the…
Photoproduction of $K^*$ vector mesons off nucleon is investigated within the Regge framework where the electromagnetic vertex of $\gamma K^*K^*$ fully takes into account the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of spin-1 $K^*$…
In this talk I report on recent work related to the dynamical generation of baryonic resonances, some made up from pseudoscalar meson-baryon, others from vector meson-baryon and a third type from two meson-one baryon systems. We can…
Differences in the photoproduction of mesons on the free proton and on nuclei are expected to reveal changes in the properties of hadrons. Inclusive studies of nuclear photoabsorption have provided evidence of medium modifications. However,…
A model for the description of photonuclear reactions in the multi-GeV range is described that combines the coherent initial state interactions (shadowing) of the incoming photon with an incoherent coupled channel description of final state…
We model interaction of photons, pseudoscalars and vector mesons within the resonance chiral symmetric theory with the SU(3) breaking. The couplings of the model are fitted to the experimental data. Within the developed model we predict the…

New high-precision total and differential cross sections for $\eta$ and $\eta'$ photoproduction on the proton obtained by the A2 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron are presented. The data for $\eta$ photoproduction demonstrate a cusp at…
We review here the physics of purely leptonic decays of pi-, K-, D+, Ds+, and B- pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks…
Meson spin splittings are examined within an effective Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian incorporating chiral symmetry and a transverse hyperfine interaction necessary for heavy quarks. For light and heavy quarkonium systems the…
We investigate the importance of dynamical spin effects in the holographic light-front wavefunctions of the pseudoscalar mesons. We find that these effects are crucial to describe the pion data while they are not necessary to describe the…

In our earlier work [Phys. Rev. C \textbf{98}, 045209 (2018)], we analyzed the differential cross-section data from the CLAS Collaboration for the reactions $\gamma p \to K^{*+}\Sigma^0$ and $\gamma p \to K^{*0} \Sigma^+$ using an effective…
