The J\"ulich-Bonn dynamical coupled-channel approach is extended to include $K\Sigma$ photoproduction off the proton. Differential cross section and (double) polarization data for $K^+\Sigma^0$ and $K^0\Sigma^+$ are analysed simultaneously…
The electromagnetic form factor of the pion is calculated in a pseudoscalar field theoretical model which constituent quarks. We extract the form factor using the "+" component of the electromagnetic current in the light-cone formalism. For…
We develop a model for the weak pion production off the nucleon, which besides the Delta pole mechanism (weak excitation of the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance and its subsequent decay into $N\pi$), includes also some background terms required by…
The recently discovered enhancement of eta photoproduction on the quasi-free neutron at energies around s^1/2 ~ 1.67 GeV is addressed within an SU(3) coupled channels model. The K Sigma threshold plays a significant role and the quasi-free…

We derive a novel model-independent result for the pion susceptibility in QCD via the isovector-pseudoscalar vacuum polarisation. In the neighbourhood of the chiral-limit, the pion susceptibility can be expressed as a sum of two independent…

We calculate the processes $\gamma p \to K^0 \Sigma^+ , K^+ \Sigma^0, K^+ \Lambda$ in three flavor heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory to one loop. Some low--energy constants are fixed from single baryon properties while others are…

By introducing electromagnetic formfactors in the spacelike region we extend an effective, gauge invariant Lagrangian model considering Born terms, baryon resonances up to 1.7 GeV and vector meson contributions (Rho, Omega) to calculate…
We enforce chiral Ward identities on the vertices of the linear sigma model to take into account the width of the scalar sigma, considered as a true physical resonance. We consider pion scattering at very low energies and, from a fit to the…
We investigate the possibility that the process of $\rho^{0}$-meson photoproduction on proton, $\gamma+p\to p+\rho^{0}$, in the near threshold region $E_{\gamma}< 2$ GeV, can be considered in the framework of model with $\pi$-, $\sigma$-…
The long-standing discrepancy between the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule and the analysis of pion photoproduction multipoles is greatly diminished by use of s-wave multipoles that are in accord with the predictions of chiral perturbation…
