The photoproduction of eta-mesons from 2H and 4He has been studied for energies close to the production thresholds. The experiments were carried out with the tagged photon beam of the Mainz MAMI accelerator. The eta-mesons were detected via…
We investigate the exclusive proton-induced $K^+$ production near the kaon threshold. Compared are two models: a meson-exchange model, which includes $\pi$, \rho$, $K$ and $K^\ast$ exchange, together with the dominant baryon resonances, and…
It is demonstrated that many important features of single-pion production in $pp$ collisions at intermediate energies ($T_p \simeq 400$-$800$ MeV) can naturally be explained by supposing excitation of intermediate diproton resonances in…
The cross sections of the reaction $pp \to N K Y$ for $K^+$ or $K^0$ mesons and $\Lambda$ or $\Sigma$ hyperons are calculated within the boson exchange model including pion and kaon exchange diagrams. We analyze the dependence of the…
It is shown that the threshold productions of $\pi^0 pp$, $\pi^+ np$ and $\pi^+ d$ from $pp$ collisions can be consistently described by a model consisting of a pion s-wave rescattering and $N\bar N$ pair-terms of heavy-meson exchanges. The…

Femtoscopy is a technique enabling measurements of the space-time characteristics of particle-emitting sources. However, the femtoscopic analysis is also sensitive to the interaction cross-section. In this paper we show the first…
Photoproduction of $\pi\eta$-pairs from nucleons has been investigated from threshold up to incident photon energies of $\approx$~1.4~GeV. The quasi-free reactions $\gamma p\rightarrow p\pi^0\eta$, $\gamma n\rightarrow n\pi^0\eta$, $\gamma…
