When a resonance lies near the threshold of a heavier channel, an interesting feature can occur. The paradigmatic example employed here is the scalar isoscalar $f_0(980)$ resonance that couples to the lighter $\pi\pi$ and heavier $K\bar{K}$…
In the chiral unitary approach, we have studied the single Cabibbo-suppressed decays $\Lambda_c\to pK^+K^-$ and $\Lambda_c \to p \pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the $s$-wave meson-meson interaction as well as the contributions from the…
The X(3872) resonance is considered as a hadronic molecule, a loosely-bound state of charmed D0 and D*0 mesons, since its mass is very close to the D*0 barD0 threshold. Assuming structure and quantum numbers of X(3872) as (D0 barD*0 - D*0…
Radiative decays of the $1^3S_1$ radial and $1^3D_1$ orbital excitations of the $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ are calculated in the quark model, using wave functions obtained variationally from the Hamiltonian with standard quark-model…
QCD radiative correction to Higgs $\rightarrow$ two photons decay rate is calculated. Below the threshold we found negligible correction, thus supporting results obtained earlier by Djouadi et all [7]. Above the threshold radiative…
We demonstrate how most of the light $J^{P}=0^{+}$ spectrum below $2.0\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and their decays can be consistently described by the unitarized quark model incorporating the chiral constraints of Adler zeros and taking SU(3) breaking…
New high-statistics Belle data on the reaction \gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\eta are analyzed to clarify the two-photon production mechanisms and the nature of the a_0(980) meson. The obtained solution for the amplitude \gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\eta is…
It is argued that the search of the J/psi --> f0(980)omega and J/psi --> a0(980)rho decays and the more precise definition of B(J/psi --> f0(980)phi) are the urgent purposes in the J/\psi spectroscopy. It is shown that the study of the…
The spectroscopic parameters and partial decay widths of the light mesons $ a_0(980) $ and $K_{0}^{\ast}(800)$ are calculated by treating them as scalar diquark-antidiquark states. The masses and couplings of the mesons are found in the…
A recent measurement of the total $D^{*+}$ width, $\Gamma_{\rm tot}(D^{*+}) = (83.3 \pm 1.3 \pm 1.4)$ keV, is shown to be close to earlier predictions based on the single-quark-transition hypothesis. Those predictions are updated using more…
In a previous paper arXiv:0708.3256 [hep-ph] we have calculated the radiative corrections to $\rho \to \pi\pi$ decays, aiming to estimate the width difference between charged and neutral rho mesons. There, we have used the scalar QED…
Recently, the Belle Collaboration has measured the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \eta \Lambda \pi^+$ decay and reported the $\eta\Lambda$ and $\Lambda\pi^+ $ invariant mass distributions, which show the clear signals of the resonances $\Lambda(1670)$…
The meson meson interaction in the scalar sector in the presence of a nuclear medium is studied with particular attention to the change of the properties of the f0(980) and a0(980) resonances. By using a chiral unitary approach which…
Radiative phi decays give us an excellent opportunity to study scalar and pseudoscalar meson below 1 GeV. In this paper, results from different experiments are reviewed and compared.
The constraints followed from gauge invariance and analyticity are considered for the amplitudes of radiative transitions of composite systems when composite systems are treated in terms of spectral integrals. We discuss gauge-invariant…
The radiative decay of the axial-vector resonances into a pseudoscalar meson and a photon is studied using the vector meson Lagrangian obtained from the hidden gauge symmetry (HGS) formalism. The formalism is well suited to study this…
We study a vector dominance model which predicts a fairly large number of currently interesting decay amplitudes of the types S -> \gamma \gamma, V -> S \gamma and S -> V \gamma, where S and V denote scalar and vector mesons, in terms of…
Main theoretical approaches to weak radiative hyperon decays are briefly reviewed. It is emphasized that only approaches with great predictive power should be seriously considered when seeking a resolution of the puzzle presented by…
Using $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33~${\rm fb^{-1}}$ recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226~${\rm GeV}$, we present an analysis of the decay $D_{s}^{+}…
Two--photon decays of Higgs bosons are important channels for the search of these particles in the intermediate mass range at the $pp$ colliders LHC and SSC. Dynamical aspects of the Higgs coupling to two photons can also be studied by…
