During last decade large samples of data have been collected on the production of the ground-state pseudoscalar mesons in collisions of proton or deuteron beam with hydrogen or deuterium target. These measurements have been performed in the vicinity of the kinematical threshold for meson production where only a few partial waves in both initial and final state are expected to contribute to the production process. This simplifies significantly the interpretation of the data, yet still appears to be challenging due to the three or four particle final state systems with a complex hadronic potential. We review experiments and phenomenology of the near threshold production of the ground-state mesons in the few-body final states as for example: nucleus-meson and nucleon-nucleon-meson, and report on the status of the search of the mesic-nuclei (a meson-nucleus bound states). Experimental advantages of measurements close to the kinematical threshold are discussed, and general features of the production mechanism of the eta and eta prime mesons in the nucleon-nucleon collisions are presented emphasising results of measurements of spin and izospin dependence of the production cross sections.
Study of the $ρ$ and $ω$ meson decays into pseudoscalar meson and $e^+e^-$ pair with the CMD-2 detector
用CMD-2探测器在720 - 840 MeV厘米级收集的3.3 pb $^{-1}$数据，计算了1000 μ m ~（-1）μ m ~（-1）μ m ~（能量范围内，转换衰变$ω\toπ^0e^+e^-$的分支分数已被测量：$\mathcal{B}(ω\toπ^0e^+e^-)=(8.19\pm0.71\pm0.62)\cdot10^{-4}$。在90%置信水平下获得了以下转换衰变的分支分数的上限：$\mathcal{B}(ρ\toπ^0e^+e^-)<1.6\cdot10^{-5}$、$\mathcal{B}(ρ\toηe^+e^-)<0.7\cdot10^{-5}$和$\mathcal{B}(ω\toηe^+e^-)<1.1\cdot10^{-5}$。
