The chiral dynamics of the doubly heavy baryons is solely governed by the light quark. In this work, We have derived the chiral corrections to the mass of the doubly heavy baryons up to N$^3$LO. The mass splitting of $\Xi_{cc}$ and…
All pieces of concrete evidence for phenomena outside the standard model (SM) - neutrino masses and dark matter - are consistent with the existence of new degrees of freedom that interact very weakly, if at all, with those in the SM. We…
This work discusses reliability, possible obstacles and the future perspective of chiral extrapolation of lattice results. In the first part, chiral perturbation theory fits to lattice calculations of the nucleon mass are thoroughly…
The existence of mirror partners of Standard-Model fermions offers a viable alternative to a fundamental BEH mechanism, with the coupling corresponding to the gauged mirror generation symmetry becoming naturally strong at energies around 1…
The minimal model of spontaneously broken leptonic colour and discrete quark-lepton symmetry predicts that charged leptons have the same masses as their partner charge $+2/3$ quarks up to small radiative corrections. By invoking a different…
The contributions of the chiral gauge leptoquarks $V^{L,R}$ induced by the chiral four color quark-lepton symmetry to the branching ratios of $ K_L^0, B^0, B_s \to l_1 \, l_2 $ decays are calculated and analysed using the general…
In this talk I review the `puzzles' associated with the fermion mass matrices and describe some recent attempts to resolve them, at least partially. Models which attempt to explain the observed mass hierarchy as arising from radiative…

In this work we study the low energy kaon-hyperon interaction considering effective chiral Lagrangians that include kaons, $\sigma$ mesons, hyperons and the corresponding resonances. We calculate the scattering amplitudes, and then the…
We summarize the results of previous research on the constraints imposed on quark masses by the anthropically-motivated requirement that there exist stable nuclei with the right charge to form complex molecules. We also mention an upper…
We analyze fermion mass-matrix structure in an asymptotically non-free model with 4 + 1bar generations. The texture at the GUT scale is uniquely determined by supposing that the masses of heavy up-type quarks (charm as well as top) are…
In this review I discuss the role of chiral extrapolations for the determination of several phenomenologically relevant quantities, including light quark masses, meson decay constants and the axial charge of the nucleon. In particular, I…
We investigate the light quarkonium hybrid mesons of various spin-parities in QCD. Considering different interpolating currents made of the valence light quarks and single gluon, we calculate the mass and current coupling of the strange and…
We calculate matrix elements of the axial current for static-light mesons and baryons in lattice QCD with dynamical domain wall fermions. We use partially quenched heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory in a finite volume to extract the…

We use Chiral Perturbation Theory to compute the nucleon mass-shift due to finite volume and temperature effects. Our results are valid up to next-to-leading order in the "\eps-regime" (mL ~ m\beta << 1) as well as in the "p-regime" (mL ~…
We present a lattice QCD calculation of the low energy constants of the leading order chiral Lagrangian. In these simulations the epsilon regime is reached by using tree-level improved nHYP Wilson fermions combined with reweighting in the…
We extend the epsilon-expansion of continuum chiral perturbation theory to nonzero lattice spacing in the framework of Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory. We distinguish various regimes by defining the relative power counting of the quark…
