We present an analysis of the process $e^+e^-\to V^*\to\pi\pi\gamma$, where $V=\gamma$ or $V=Z$ boson, in the kinematical region where $\sqrt{s}$, the c.m. energy of the $e^+e^-$ pair, is large but much below the $Z$-pole. The subprocess…
$\phi$-meson mass in nuclear matter ($m_{\phi}^*$) is investigated using an effective Lagrangian of $\phi$ interacting with octet baryons. $m_{\phi}^*$ decreases by a few \% in nuclear matter due to the current conservation and effective…
The study of the $\pi N\to \rho^0 N$ and $\pi N \to \omega N$ amplitudes below and close to the vector meson production threshold ($1.4<\sqrt s <1.8$ GeV)reveals a rich structure arising from the presence of baryon resonances in this energy…
