We use a simple QCD-based model to study particle production in S+Au collisions at 200 GeV/n. A requisite consistency is met for the hadronic observables (pi0 and pi- spectra) while pursuing estimates for e+e- production. Since radiative…
The differential cross section for the process $\gamma \gamma \to \eta \pi^0$ has been measured in the kinematic range $0.84 \GeV < W < 4.0 \GeV$, $|\cos \theta^*|<0.8$, where $W$ and $\theta^*$ are the energy and $\pi^0$ (or $\eta$)…

We perform calculations for the $\eta_c \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^-$ decay using elements of SU(3) symmetry to see the weight of different trios of pseudoscalars produced in this decay, prior to the final state interaction of the mesons. After…
