Recently we presented a successful strategy to extract the position of the two $\Lambda(1405)$ poles from experimental photoproduction data on the $\gamma p \to K^+ \pi^0 \Sigma^0 $ reaction at Jefferson Lab. Following a similar strategy,…
A combined analysis of the reactions $\pi^+p\to \pi^+p$, $\pi^-p\to \pi^-p$ and $\pi^-p\to \pi^0n$ is carried out with a chiral quark model. The observations are reasonably described from the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance region up to the…
Intensive quest for the eta and eta' bound states is currently ongoing at both theoretical and experimental levels e.g. at COSY, ELSA, GSI, JINR, JPARC, LPI, and MAMI. These studies were already supported by data provided by the COSY-11…
An analysis of incoherent photoproduction of $\eta$ mesons off the deuteron for photon energies from threshold to 800 MeV is presented. The dominant contribution, the $\gamma$N-$\eta$N amplitude, is described within an isobar model. Effects…
We study the photoproduction of $\eta^\prime$ mesons from nuclei near the threshold within the collision model based on the nuclear spectral function. The model takes properly into account both primary photon-nucleon and secondary…
The in-medium Eta-N interaction near and below threshold is constructed from a free-space chirally-inspired meson-baryon coupled-channel model that captures the physics of the N(1535) baryon resonance. Nucleon Pauli blocking and hadron…
The pp -> pp eta' reaction is investigated within a relativistic meson-exchange model of hadronic interactions. We explore the role of nucleonic and mesonic, as well as the N* resonance currents, in producing eta' mesons. In order to learn…
Rescattering effects in coherent eta photoproduction on the deuteron are studied in the region of the S_11(1535) resonance. For the elementary reaction mechanism on the nucleon, an effective isobar model with inclusion of resonances and…

We continue the analysis of S-wave production amplitudes for the reaction pi- p -> pi+ pi- n involving the data obtained by the CERN--Cracow-Munich collaboration on a transversely polarized target at 17.2 GeV/c pi- momentum. This study…
Photoproduction of $\eta$ mesons off $^{12}$C, $^{40}$Ca, $^{93}$Nb, and $^{nat}$Pb nuclei has been measured with a tagged photon beam with energies between 0.6 and 2.2 GeV. The experiment was performed at the Bonn ELSA accelerator with the…
We show that the S-wave $\eta N$ scattering length can be extracted in a model independent way within the scope of the multichannel model, but with the restricting assumption that only one resonance is included per partial wave. One has…

The production of $\eta'$ mesons in the reactions $\gamma p\to p\eta'$ and $pp\to pp\eta'$ is described consistently within a relativistic meson exchange model of hadronic interactions. The photoproduction can be described quite well over…
Using a sample of $4.3\times 10^5$ $\eta'\to\eta\pi^0\pi^0$ events selected from the ten billion $J/\psi$ event dataset collected with the BESIII detector, we study the decay $\eta'\to\eta\pi^0\pi^0$ within the framework of nonrelativistic…
