The decay \phi -> f_0(980) \gamma and process e^+e^- -> \phi f_0(980) are considered within the local Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. In the amplitudes of these processes contributions of s-quark and kaon loops are taken into account. The kaon…

We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…

We quantify the important effect of strong final state interactions in the weak $K\to 2\pi$ amplitudes, using the measured $\pi$-$\pi$ phase shifts with J=0 and $I=0,2$. The main results of this analysis, with their implications for…

We study the three-pion decays of the lightest isoscalar vector mesons, omega and phi, in a dispersive framework that allows for a consistent description of final-state interactions between all three pions. Our results are solely dependent…

New physics motivated by muonic puzzles (proton radius and muon $g-2$ discrepancies) is studied. Using a light scalar boson $\phi$, assuming Yukawa interactions, accounts for these muonic puzzles simultaneously. Our previous work limits the…

We consider the weak decays of a B meson to final states that are mixtures of S-wave radially excited components. We consider non leptonic decays of the type $B \to \rho' \pi/B \to \rho \pi$, $B \to \omega' \pi/B \to \omega \pi$ and $B \to…

An improved update of the structure and decays of $\rho^0$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons based on a chiral SU(3) Lagrangian, including anomaly terms is presented. We demonstrate that a consistent and quantitatively successful description of…

We investigate the $\phi$ meson nuclear transparency using some recent theoretical developments on the $\phi$ in medium self-energy. The inclusion of direct resonant $\phi N$-scattering and the kaon decay mechanisms leads to a $\phi$ width…

We study the phenomenology of two nonets of excited vector mesons, $\{\rho(1450)$, $K^{\ast}(1410)$, $\omega(1420)$, $\phi(1680)\}$ and $\{\rho(1700),$ $K^{\ast}(1680),\omega(1650),$ $\phi(???)\},$ which (roughly) correspond to radially…

A study of $B^{0}_{s} \to \eta_{c} \phi$ and $B^{0}_{s} \to \eta_{c} \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0$\,\rm fb^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector in Run~1 of…

In the $U(3) \times U(3)$ quark NJL model, $\tau$ lepton decays with the production of scalar mesons $f_0(\pi,K])$ and neutrinos are studied, where $f_0=f_0(500), f_0(980)$. It is shown that these decays mainly occur via contact channels…

A partial-wave analysis is performed on the decay $J/\psi\to\gamma\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ within the $\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ invariant-mass region below 1.6 GeV$/c^{2}$, using $(10.09~\pm~0.04)\times10^{9} ~J/\psi$ events collected with the…

We employed the chiral unitarity approach to investigate the decay process $\Xi_c^+ \to \Sigma^+K^+K^-$, by considering that the low lying nucleon resonance $\Xi(1/2^-)$ and the low lying scalar meson $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ that could be…

The decays $D^0\to d\bar u\,e^+\nu\to a^-_0(980)\, e^+\nu\to\pi^-\eta\, e^+\nu$ and $D^+\to d\bar d\,e^+\nu\to a^0_0(980)\, e^+\nu\to\pi^0\eta\, e^+\nu$ (and the charge conjugated ones) is the direct probe of the two-quark components in the…

Using a data sample of $(448.1\pm2.9)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ decays collected by the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII), we observe the decays $\chi_{cJ}\to \phi\phi\eta~(J=0,~1,~2)$, where the $\chi_{cJ}$…
