Physicists gathered in august at Dresden for a conference about "Quantum Criticality and Novel Phases". As one part of the meeting, nine panelists hosted an open and free-wheeling discussion on the topic of the meeting. This article…
In the past few years the B-factories became unexpected players in the scalar mesons business: in order to access the CP violation effects, it is necessary to handle the dynamics of the strong interaction between the final state hadrons. A…
A review is given of the theoretical expectations of the self couplings of gauge bosons and of the present experimental information on the couplings. The possibilities for future measurements are also discussed.
We calculate the mass spectra of the pseudoscalar and scalar meson nonets in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with the 't Hooft interaction. We obtain satisfactory result for the pseudoscalar mesons. For the scalar mesons, the 't Hooft…
Results on light scalar mesons in charmed particle decays studied by the CLEO Collaboration at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring are reviewed.
The ongoing and planned experimental activities with direct reference to light unflavoured pseudoscalar mesons motivate a new theoretical study regarding their properties. An overview including details on new precise calculations is…
This is the revised version of a Comment on a paper by C. Escudero (Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 116101, 2008; arXiv:0804.1898).
It is presented a critical consideration of all unusual properties of the scalar $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$-mesons in the four-quark, two-quark and molecular models. The arguments are adduced that the four-quark model is more preferable. It…
After the discovery of a particle that complies with the properties of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model, particle physics has entered an exciting era. One important question is whether the scalar sector realized by Nature…
We explore the role of a scalar meson exchange interaction between quarks in a semirelativistic constituent quark model where the quarks are subject to a linear confinement. We search for a variational solution and show that the gap between…
We provide comments on the article "High-dimensional simultaneous inference with the bootstrap" by Ruben Dezeure, Peter Buhlmann and Cun-Hui Zhang.
Compact spatial dimension at the TeV scale remain an intriguing possibility that is currently being tested at the LHC. We give an introductory review of extra-dimensional models and ideas, from a phenomenological perspective, but…
After an introduction to the Higgs sector of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, recent results on radiative corrections to Higgs boson masses and couplings are reviewed. The phenomenology of supersymmetric Higgs searches at…
Properties of scalar mesons below 1.0 GeV have been studied by regarding them as hadronic molecular states. Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we have calculated their leptonic decays, strong decays and productions via the $\phi$…
In this talk I presented studies of the scalar boson mass resolution at the LHC. I described in detail the limiting factors on resolution, the methods used to determine the mass resolution, and the statistical sample size required for these…
Dedicated to Solomon Marcus, the current paper continues a recent series about our meetings. Trying to recreate the spirit of those meetings, we first propose a discussion which started as a high-school problem. The main part of the current…
An overview is presented of the talks in the working group on Goldstone Bosons. Topics touched on are CP-violation in the Kaon system, rare Kaon decays, $\pi\pi$-scattering, $\phi$-meson decays, scalar mesons, form-factors and…
We consider chiral perturbation theory with an explicit broad $\sigma$-meson and study its contribution to the scalar form factors of the pion and the nucleon. Our goal is to learn more about resonance saturation in the scalar sector.
A scaled SU(3) Nambu - Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian is used to compute the mass of the nine scalar mesons in the vacuum and the mass of the gluball. It is shown that a suitable choice of the vacuum gluon condensate allows to reproduce the…
