Meson production in nucleon-nucleon collisions

Description

Some recent works on meson production in nucleon-nucleon collisions are reviewed. In particular, a report is given on an investigation of the reaction NN → NNπ near threshold where the production amplitude has been evaluated within chiral perturbation theory up to next-to-leading order, using a counting scheme that takes into account the large scale introduced by the initial momentum. With regard to other meson-production reactions I focus on a phenomenological analysis of the Λ/Σ0 production ratio in pp collisions. Presented at the 20th Few-Body Conference, Pisa, Italy, 10-14 September 2007. (author)
