Recent experiments by Bland 0) et al. have shown that the reaction K+p + K'N*++(1236) h as a rather large cross-section which rises rapidly from threshold. In this note we show that many of the threshold features of this experiment, i.e., the value of the cross-section, the slope with respect to energy, * the C.O.M. angular distribution and the N decay angular distribution can be reasonably wel...

We discuss the non–relativistic multichannel quark model and describe the techniques developed to solve the resulting equations. We then investigate some simple solutions to demonstrate how the model unifies meson–meson scattering with meson spectroscopy, thereby greatly extending the domain of applicability of the näıve quark model. In the limits of narrow resonance widths and no quark exchang...

We study coherent and incoherent φ-meson photoproduction from nuclei. The available data are analyzed in terms of single and coupled channel photoproduction. It is found that the data on coherent photoproduction can be well reproduced within a single channel optical model and show only little room for ω− φ mixing. These data indicate a normal distortion of the φ-meson in nuclei, which is compat...
