چکیده
We apply the point form of relativistic quantum mechanics to develop a Poincaré invariant coupled-channel formalism for two-particle systems interacting via one-particle exchange. This approach takes the exchange particle explicitly into account and leads to a generalized eigenvalue equation for the Bakamjian-Thomas type mass operator of the system. The coupling of the exchange particle is derived from quantum field theory. As an illustrative example we consider vector mesons within the chiral constituent quark model in which the hyperfine interaction between the confined quark-antiquark pair is generated by Goldstone-boson exchange. We study the effect of retardation in the Goldstone-boson exchange by comparing with the commonly used instantaneous approximation. As a nice physical feature we find that the problem of a too large ρ-ω splitting can nearly be avoided by taking the dynamics of the exchange meson explicitly into account.

The presently available data for the reaction γp→η ′ p are analyzed in terms of a model in which the dominant production mechanism is the exchange of the vector mesons ω and ρ. To describe the data at photon energies close to the production threshold we introduce a resonance contribution due to the well established S 11 (1535) resonance. Finally we study the contributions due to nucleon exchang...

Using a chiral unitary approach for the meson–baryon interactions, we show that two octets of J π = 1/2 − baryon states, which are degenerate in the limit of exact SU(3) symmetry, and a singlet are generated dynamically. The SU(3) breaking produces the splitting of the two octets, resulting in the case of strangeness S = −1 in two poles of the scattering matrix close to the nominal Λ(1405) reso...

We calculate the in-medium D meson self-energies in a hot pion gas induced by resonance interactions with pions. The appropriate resonances in the s, p and d waves of the D meson-pion pair are represented by low lying scalar, vector and tensor D∗ mesons. At temperatures around 200 MeV the D-meson mass drops by 30 MeV and the scattering width grows up to 60 MeV. Similar medium effects are found ...

We present the evidences for the existence of a universal scaling behavior of the production of π at all transverse momenta in heavy-ion collisions at all centralities and all collision energies. The corresponding scaling behavior of the quarks is then derived just before the quarks recombine with antiquarks to form the pions. The degradation effect of the dense medium on the quark pT is derive...
