We explore the phenomenology of, and models for, the Z^* resonances, the lowest of which is now well established, and called the Theta. We provide an overview of three models which have been proposed to explain its existence and/or its small width, and point out other relevant predictions, and potential problems, for each. The relation to what is known about KN scattering, including possible resonance signals in other channels, is also discussed.
Two types of one-body functions extracted from microscpic models of the 8B ground state are compared with one another and with a potential-model wave function. The one-body overlap function seems to have the strongest physical meaning.
Possible formation of $ρ$ nucleus bound state is studied in the framework of Walecka model. The bound states are found in different nuclei ranging from $^3He$ to $^{208}Pb$. These bound states may have a direct bearing on the recent experiments on the photoproduction of $ρ$ meson in the nuclear medium.
