P. Moskal and M. Wolke, ISBN 3-89336-307-6, (c) Forschungszentrum Juelich, 2002) · 34 pages, no figures; invited contribution to the symposium on "Threshold meson production in pp and pd interaction", extended COSY-11 collaboration meeting, Cracow, Poland, June 20-24, 2001; final correction: two anticommutators replaced by commutators at the end of section 3
The present status of the theoretical description of Initial (ISI) and Final State Interactions (FSI) in nucleon induced exclusive meson production processes close to threshold is reviewed. Shortcomings are addressed and new perspectives given.
