The low-energy S-wave pi N and K N scatterings are studied by the K-matrix approach within the meson exchange framework. The t-channel meson exchanges, especially rho and sigma exchanges, are found to play a very important role in these two…

Short range meson-exchange mechanisms such as $\rho\to\omega\pi^0$ contribute significantly to the amplitude for $pp\rightarrow pp\pi^0$ near threshold in addition to pion rescattering. The uncertainty of the latter contribution, which…
