We investigate the modification induced on the nucleon-nucleon cross section by screening of the interaction inside nuclear matter. The interaction is described by the relativistic one boson exchange of $\sigma$, $\omega$ and $\pi$ mesons.…
We examine the pion realization of the short ranged supersymmetric (SUSY) mechanism of neutrinoless double beta decay. It originates from the R-parity violating quark-lepton interactions of the SUSY extensions of the standard model of the…
We present a unified description of the vector meson and dilepton production in elementary and in heavy ion reactions. The production of vector mesons ($\rho,\omega$) is described via the excitation of nuclear resonances ($R$). The…
We evaluate the $a_1(1260) \to \pi \sigma (f_0(500))$ decay width from the perspective that the $a_1(1260)$ resonance is dynamically generated from the pseudoscalar-vector interaction and the $\sigma$ arises from the…
Medium-induced modifications of the pion and quark-antiquark annihilation mechanisms of dilepton production during relativistic heavy ion collisions are considered. Due to the dense hadron environment, the pions produced during a collision…
We present a relativistic and unitary approach to pion- and photon-nucleon scattering taking into account the $\pi N$, $\rho N$, $\omega N$, $\eta N$, $\pi\Delta$, $K \Lambda$ and $K \Sigma$ channels. Our scheme dynamically generates the s-…

We present a new, model-independent method to analyze radiative decays of mesons to a vector, isovector pair of pions of invariant mass square below the first significant pion-pion threshold in the vector channel. It is based on a…
The decay of disoriented chiral condensates into soft pions is considered within the context of a linear sigma model. Unlike earlier analytic studies, which focused on the production of pions as the sigma field rolled down toward its new…
An extended pion source, which can be temporarily created by a high energy nuclear collision, will also absorb and distort the outgoing pions. We discuss how this effect alters the interferometric pattern of the two-pion momentum…
The medium modifications of antikaons in dense matter are studied in a coupled channel calculation for scenarios more closely related to the environment encountered in heavy-ion collisions. We find that the optical potential of the…
The arguments are put forward that the many pion decays omega ->2 pi^+ 2 pi^- pi^0 and pi^+ pi^- 3 pi^0 provide an ideal test site for testing the predictions of chiral models of the vector meson decays into many pions. Using the approach…
The mixing of $S-D$ partial waves for the heavy meson pairs in the decays $\Upsilon(5S) \to [B^* \bar B+ {\rm c.c.}] \pi$ and $\Upsilon(5S) \to B^* \bar B^* \pi$ is considered. It is argued that this mixing, enhanced by the heavy meson…
Dilepton and photon production in heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies is studied in the relativistic transport model that incorporates self-consistently the change of hadron masses in dense matter. It is found that the dilepton spectra in…
Earlier work suggested that the in-medium $\pi N$ threshold isovector amplitude $b_1(\rho)$ gets renormalized in pionic atoms by about 30% away from its $\rho=0$ free-space value, relating such renormalization to the leading low-density…
We study the bremsstrahlung of virtual omega mesons due to the collective deceleration of nuclei at the initial stage of an ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collision. It is shown that electromagnetic decays of these mesons may give an important…

Decays of heavy mesons and of heavy hyperons are used to provide tests of the standard model and information about new mixing schemes for the $\eta$ and $\eta^{'}$ mesons. These include the two body decays $B_s \to J / \psi M$ and $B_d \to…
