Hard exclusive wide-angle processes
In this talk the handbag approach to hard exclusive wide-angle processes is
reviewed and applications, as for instance two-photon annihilations into pairs
of mesons, are discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, using latex2e, invited talk presented at Meson

Exclusive meson pair production in proton-proton collisions
We present a study of the exclusive production of meson pairs in the
four-body , reactions at high
energies which constitute an irreducible background to resonance states (e.g.
, , , , ). We consider
central diffractive contribution mediated by Pomeron and Reggeon exchanges and
new diffractive mechanism of emission of pions/kaons from the proton lines. We
include absorption effects due to proton-proton interaction and pion/kaon
rescattering. Predictions for the total cross section and differential
distributions in pion/kaon rapidity and transverse momentum as well as
two-pion/kaon invariant mass are presented for the RHIC, Tevatron and LHC
colliders. Finally we consider a measurement of exclusive production of a
scalar meson via ,
decay.Comment: 4 pp., 4 figures, talk presented by PL at MESON2012 - 12th

Strangeness production in antiproton-nucleus annihilation
The results of the microscopic transport calculations of -nucleus
interactions within a GiBUU model are presented. The dominating mechanism of
hyperon production is the strangeness exchange processes
and . The calculated rapidity spectra of hyperons are
significantly shifted to forward rapidities with respect to the spectra of
hyperons. We argue that this shift should be a sensitive test for the
possible exotic mechanisms of -nucleus annihilation. The production of
the double -hypernuclei by interaction with a secondary target
is calculated.Comment: Proceedings of the 12th Int. Workshop on Meson Production, Properties

Exclusive production of and pairs in photon-photon and in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions
The reactions are discussed. To describe those
processes, we include dipion continuum, resonances, high-energy pion-pion
rescatterings, meson exchange and pQCD Brodsky-Lepage mechanisms. The
cross section for the production of pion pairs in photon-photon collisions in
peripheral heavy ion collisions is calculated with the help of Equivalent
Photon Approximaption (EPA) in the impact parameter space. We show predictions
at TeV which could be measured e.g. by the ALICE
collaboration at the LHC.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, talk by M. Klusek-Gawenda at MESON2012,

Open charm meson production at LHC
We discuss charm production at the LHC. The production of single
pairs is calculated in the -factorization approach. We use
Kimber-Martin-Ryskin unintegrated gluon distributions in the proton. The
hadronization is included with the help of Peterson fragmentation functions.
Transverse momentum and pseudorapidity distributions of charmed mesons are
presented and compared to recent results of the ALICE, LHCb and ATLAS
collaborations. Furthermore we discuss production of two pairs of
within a simple formalism of double-parton scattering (DPS). Surprisingly large
cross sections, comparable to single-parton scattering (SPS), are predicted for
LHC energies. We discuss perspectives how to identify the double scattering
contribution. We predict much larger cross section for large rapidity distance
between charm quarks from different hard parton scatterings compared to single
scattering.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, talk given by R. Maciula at the MESON2012 - 12th

A Dispersive Treatment of Decays
are for several reasons an especially interesting decay channel
of mesons: decays allow an accurate measurement of a
combination of -wave scattering lengths, one form factor of the
decay is connected to the chiral anomaly and the decay is the best source for
the determination of some low energy constants of ChPT. We present a dispersive
approach to decays, which takes rescattering effects fully into
account. Some fits to NA48/2 and E865 measurements and results of the matching
to ChPT are shown.Comment: 4 pages, talk given by PS at MESON2012 - 12th International Workshop

eta' meson under partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium
We shed light upon the eta' mass in nuclear matter in the context of partial
restoration of chiral symmetry, pointing out that the U_{A}(1) anomaly effects
causes the eta'-eta mass difference necessarily through the chiral symmetry
breaking. As a consequence, it is expected that the eta' mass is reduced by
order of 100 MeV in nuclear matter where partial restoration of chiral symmetry
takes place. The discussion given here is based on Ref. [1].Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures. Contribution to Meson201
Electrostatic deflector studies using small prototypes
The search for electric dipole moments of particles in storage rings requires
the development of dedicated deflector elements with electrostatic fields. In
these rings, electric deflectors shall be used as bending elements for the
charged particles. This paper presents studies on scaled-down prototypes, a few
cm in size, to investigate different deflector materials at similar electric
fields but much smaller distances than real size prototypes.Comment: 5 pages, 8 figure
Hydrogen Spectroscopy with a Lamb-shift Polarimeter - An Alternative Approach Towards Anti-Hydrogen Spectroscopy Experiments
A Lamb-shift polarimeter, which has been built for a fast determination of
the polarization of protons and deuterons of an atomic-beam source and which is
frequently used in the ANKE experiment at COSY-J\"ulich, is shown to be an
excellent device for atomic-spectroscopy measurements of metastable hydrogen
isotopes. It is demonstrated that magnetic and electric dipole transitions in
hydrogen can be measured as a function of the external magnetic field, giving
access to the full Breit-Rabi diagram for the and the
states. This will allow the study of hyperfine structure, factors and the
classical Lamb shift. Although the data are not yet competitive with
state-of-the-art measurements, the potential of the method is enormous,
including a possible application to anti-hydrogen spectroscopy.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, accepted by European Physical Journal
