Chiral Dynamics of scalar mesons: radiative decay and in the medium through nuclear photoproduction
In order to assess the relevance of chiral dynamics in the scalar sector we
address two recent problems: radiative decay of the , for which there are
quite recent data from Frascati, and the modification of the
properties in the nuclear medium seen through the photoproduction
in nuclei.Comment: Talk given at the High Energy Physics Workshop "Scalar Mesons: an

Properties of the ground-state baryons in chiral perturbation theory
We review recent progress in the understanding of low-energy baryon structure
by means of chiral perturbation theory. In particular, we discuss the
application of this formalism to the description of various properties such as
the baryon-octet magnetic moments, the electromagnetic structure of decuplet
resonances and the hyperon vector coupling . Moreover, we present the
results on the chiral extrapolation of recent lattice QCD results on the
lowest-lying baryon masses and we predict the corresponding baryonic
sigma-terms.Comment: 6 pages; shortened version to appear in the proceedings of QCD1
Masses and magnetic moments of ground-state baryons in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory
We report on some recent developments in our understanding of the light-quark
mass dependence and the SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking corrections to the
magnetic moments of the ground-state baryons in a covariant formulation of
baryon chiral perturbation theory, the so-called EOMS formulation. We show that
this covariant ChPT exhibits some promising features compared to its
heavy-baryon and infrared counterparts.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures; plenary talk delivered by LSG at the 14th

Chiral perturbation theory study of the axial transition
We have performed a theoretical study of the axial Nucleon to Delta(1232)
() transition form factors up to one-loop order in covariant baryon
chiral perturbation theory within a formalism in which the unphysical spin-1/2
components of the fields are decoupled.Comment: 4 page
Radiative vector meson decay
We study the radiative , and decay into and taking into account mechanisms in which there
are two sequential vector-vector-pseudoscalar or
axial-vector--vector--pseudoscalar steps followed by the coupling of a vector
meson to the photon, considering the final state interaction of the two mesons.
Other mechanisms in which two kaons are produced through the same sequential
mechanisms or from vector meson decay into two kaons which undergo final state
interaction leading to the final pair of pions or , are also
considered. The results of the parameter free theory, together with the
theoretical uncertainties, are compared with the latest experimental results at
Frascati and Novosibirsk.Comment: Prepared for the 10th International Symposium on Meson-Nucleon
