In this article, we investigate the contribution of the higher twist Feynman diagrams to the large-$p_T$ inclusive pion production cross section in proton-proton collisions and present the general formulae for the higher twist differential cross sections in the case of the running coupling and frozen coupling approaches. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of the higher twist subprocess cross section and the resummed expression (the Borel sum) for it are found. We compared the resummed higher twist cross sections with the ones obtained in the framework of the frozen coupling approximation and leading twist cross section. We obtain, that ratio $R$ for all values of the transverse momentum $p_{T}$ of the pion identical equivalent to ratio $r$. It is shown that the resummed result depends on the choice of the meson wave functions used in calculation. Phenomenological effects of the obtained results are discussed.

We compute the inclusive cross-section of $f_{2}$ tensor mesons production in proton-proton collisions at high-energy. We use an effective theory inspired from the tensor meson dominance hypothesis that couples gluons to $f_{2}$ mesons. We compute the differential cross-section in the $k_{perp}$-factorization and in the Color Glass Condensate formalism in the low density regime. We show that the two formalisms are equivalent for this specific observable. Finally, we study the phenomenology of $f_{2}$ mesons by comparing theoretical predictions of different parameterizations of the unintegrated gluon distribution function. We find that $f_{2}$-meson production is another observable that can be used to put constraints on these distributions.
The near threshold total cross section and angular distributions of K+K- pair production via the reaction pp --> ppK+K- have been studied at an excess energy of Q = 17 MeV using the COSY-11 facility at the cooler synchrotron COSY. The obtained cross section as well as an upper limit at an excess energy of Q = 3 MeV represent the first measurements on the K+K- production in the region of small excess energies where production via the channel pp --> pp Phi --> ppK+K- is energetically forbidden. The possible influence of a resonant production via intermediate scalar states f0(980) and a0(980) is discussed.
The reaction $ ppto ppbf omega$ was investigated with the TOF spectrometer, which is an external experiment at the accelerator COSY (Forschungszentrum Julich, Germany). Total as well as differential cross sections were determined at an excess energy of $93 MeV$ ($p_{beam}=2950 MeV/c$). Using the total cross section of $(9.0pm 0.7 pm1.1) mu b$ for the reaction $ ppto ppomega$ determined here and existing data for the reaction $ppto ppbf phi$, the ratio $mathcal{R}_{phi/omega}=sigma_phi/sigma_omega$ turns out to be significantly larger than expected by the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule. The uncertainty of this ratio is considerably smaller than in previous determinations. The differential distributions show that the $omega$ production is still dominated by S-wave production at this excess energy, however higher partial waves clearly contribute. A comparison of the measured angular distributions for $omega$ production to published distributions for $phi$ production at $83 MeV$ shows that the data are consistent with an identical production mechanism for both vector mesons.
Apparent channel-dependent violations of the OZI rule in nucleon-antinucleon annihilation reactions are discussed in the presence of an intrinsic strangeness component in the nucleon. Admixture of strange-antistrange quark pairs in the nucleon wave function enables the direct coupling to the phi-meson in the annihilation channel without violating the OZI rule. Three forms are considered in this work for the strangeness content of the proton wave function, namely, the uud cluster with a strange-antistrange sea quark component, kaon-hyperon clusters based on a simple chiral quark model, and the pentaquark picture. Nonrelativistic quark model calculations reveal that the strangeness magnetic moment and the strangeness contribution to the proton spin from the first two models are consistent with recent experimental data. For the third model, the uuds subsystem with the configurations FS[31]F[211]S[22] and FS[31]F[31]S[22] leads to negative values for the strangeness magnetic moment and the strangeness contribution to the proton spin. With effective quark line diagrams incorporating the 3P0 quark model we give estimates for the branching ratios of the proton-antiproton annihilation reactions at rest to two mesons. Results for the branching ratios of phi-meson production from atomic proton-antiproton s-wave states are for the first and third model found to be strongly channel dependent, in good agreement with measured rates.
We establish some signatures of the extra bilepton boson ${X^0}$ predicted in the ${SU (3)_C times SU (3)_L times U (1)_X}$ model with right-handed neutrinos. We analyze the process $p + p longrightarrow X^0 +X^{0*} + {hbox {anything}}$, for center of mass energy regime of the Large Hadron Collider. The main contributions for the neutral bilepton production in $q bar q$ process come from the $s-$channel ($Z$ and $Z^prime$ exchanges), when the initial quarks have charge 2/3, and from an additional $t-$channel (heavy quark exchange) when they have -1/3 of the positron electric charge. We calculate some distributions of the final bileptons and from these results we conclude that LHC can show a clear signature for the existence of the $X^0$ predicted in the 3-3-1 model.
