[en] The research topics of this program have involved several sectors of nuclear and particle physics. In addition to studying reactions involving kaons and photons/endash/a project treating K+ meson elastic scattering, K+ photo and electroproduction, hypernuclear photo-excitation and photo-proton knockout reactions with delta isobar formation, this research program has also investigated symmetry principles and their usefulness in reaction theory. This paper provides a brief overview of the major scientific findings and cite key, representative publications containing full details
