An accurate and unified description of the non-hadronic electroweak interactions of light- and heavy-mesons is possible when the dressing of quark propagators and the finite size of hadronic bound states is explicitly accounted for.

Modern particle physics experiments, e.g. at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, crucially depend on the precise description of the scattering processes in terms of the known fundamental forces. This is limited by our current…
