In this paper, we take into account the intrinsic charm and gluonic contents into the $\eta-\eta^\prime$ mixing scheme and formulate the tetramixing $\eta-\eta^\prime-G-\eta_c$ to study the mixing properties of $\eta^{(\prime)}$ mesons.…

The decay constant of the $\eta$-meson in the framework of 'resummed' chiral perturbation theory is discussed. A theoretical prediction is compared to the available determinations. Compatibility of these determinations with the latest fits…

We report the first observation of the decay D^+ -> eta' e^+ nu_e in two analyses, which combined provide a branching fraction of B(D+ -> eta' e nu) = (2.16 +/- 0.53 +/- 0.07) x 10^{-4}. We also provide an improved measurement of B(D+ ->…

The reaction pd->3He eta at threshold was used to provide a clean source of eta mesons for decay studies with the WASA detector at CELSIUS. The branching ratio of the decay eta->pi+pi-e+e- is measured to be (4.3+/-1.3+/-0.4)x10^-4.

In a sample of 6.6 million produced B mesons we have observed decays B -> eta' K, with branching fractions BR(B+ -> eta' K+ = 6.5 +1.5 -1.4 +- 0.9) x $10^{-5}$ and BR(B0 -> eta' K0 = 4.7 +2.7 -2.0 +- 0.9) x $10^{-5}$. We have searched with…

Using a data sample of $(2.712\pm0.014)\times10^{9}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we investigate the decays $\chi_{cJ} \rightarrow \Lambda \bar{\Lambda} \eta^\prime$ for $J=0,~1,~2$ via the…

The world's largest sample of Jpsi events collected at BESIII detector offers a unique opportunity to investigate eta and eta' physics via the Jpsi radiative or hadronic decays with unprecedented precision. In recent years the BESIII…

There are two independent critical exponents that describe the behavior of systems near their critical point. However, at the critical point only the exponent $\eta$, which describes the decay of the correlation function, is usually…

Recently B-factories have published new results on the $B \to K \eta \gamma$ decays being inspired by the theoretical suggestion to search for new physics in $B \to P_1 P_2 \gamma$ decays. Using heavy meson chiral perturbation theory we…

First, recent work on light scalar mesons, which is of possible interest in connection with the strong coupling region of QCD is briefly discussed. Then a very short highlighting of a paper concerned with an application to the eta -> 3 pi…

In the framework of the "current scheme" of $\eta - \eta'$ mixing we calculate the amplitude of the decay $\eta' \to \pi ^+ \pi ^- \gamma $ in the soft limit and compare our results with recently reported values of the phenomenological…

I discuss isospin breaking effects within the standard model. Chiral perturbation theory presents the appropriate theoretical framework for such an investigation in the low--energy range. Recent results on the electromagnetic contributions…

In-medium modification of the eta' mass is discussed in the context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. We emphasize that the U_A(1) anomaly effects causes the eta'-eta mass difference necessarily through the chiral…

Glueballs are the most straightforward prediction of QCD, yet while they have likely been produced, none has been unequivocally identified. We pursue a backdoor approach through anomalies, and singularly the $\eta$ and $\eta$' which brings…
