Estimates of the light hadron masses, decay constants and couplings in AdS/QCD models are generally more accurate than should have been expected. Certain predictions based on the AdS/CFT correspondence, such as the ratio of the equilibrium…
We measure the mass of the eta meson using psi(2S) --> eta J/psi events acquired with the CLEO-c detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider. Using the four decay modes eta --> gamma gamma, 3pi0, pi+pi-pi0, and pi+pi-gamma, we find…
In this paper, the first radial excited heavy pseudoscalar and vector mesons ($\eta_c(2S)$, $\psi(2S)$, $B_c(2S)$, $B^*_c(2S)$, $\eta_b(2S)$, $\varUpsilon(2S)$) are studied in the Dyson-Schwinger equation and Bethe-Salpeter equation…
We propose a mechanism which explains the masses of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons without invoking the explicit violation of $U(1)_A$ symmetry by the chiral anomaly. It is shown that the U(1) problem, the problem for which the prediction of…
The large radiative production rate for pseudoscalar mesons in the $J/\psi$ radiative decay remains elusive. We present the first lattice QCD calculation of partial decay width of $J/\psi$ radiatively decaying into $\eta_{(2)}$, the…

A search for the pseudoscalar meson eta_b was performed at LEP~II energies with an integrated luminosity of 700pb^-1. The search, done for the decay modes into 4 and 6 charged particles yielded 0 and 1 candidates, respectively. Upper limits…
The combination of Anti-de Sitter space (AdS) methods with light-front holography leads to a semi-classical first approximation to the spectrum and wavefunctions of meson and baryon light-quark bound states. Starting from the bound-state…
We determine masses and mixing parameters of the $\eta$ and $M_{\eta^\prime}$ meson in lattice QCD. The calculations are carried out on a set of 13 ETMC gauge ensembles with $N_f=2+1+1$ (maximally) twisted-mass Clover-improved quarks. These…
In case of an UA(1) symmetry restoration in a hot and dense hadronic matter, the mass of the produced hadrons and mesons can significantly change, and their production cross-section can also be modified. In this M.Sc. Thesis I search for…
We investigate hadron spectra in 2-color QCD using lattice simulation with $N_{f}=2$ at low temperature and finite density in which there appears not only the hadronic phase but also the superfluid phase. We first calculate the pion and rho…

Calculations using the AdS/CFT correspondence can be used to unveil the short-distance structure of a strongly coupled plasma, as it would be seen by a `hard probe'. The results of these calculations admit a natural physical interpretation…
