Using data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR, we started a series of investigations on the Upsilon(5S) resonance decay properties. The data sample used for this analysis consists of 0.42 fb-1 of data taken on the Upsilon(5S)…
We search for a low-mass scalar CP-odd Higgs boson, A0, produced in the radiative decay of the Upsilon resonance and decaying into a tau+tau- pair: Upsilon(1S)->gamma A0. The production of Upsilon(1S) mesons is tagged by…
About 90% of Bs-bar Bs pairs produced at the Upsilon(5s) resonance are initially Bs*-bar Bs* pairs which decay radiatively to Bs-bar Bs. This implies that the Bs pair will then be in an eigenstate of charge conjugation (i.e. C=-1) and…
We search for a light Higgs boson ($A^0$) decaying into a $\tau^+\tau^-$ or $\mu^+\mu^-$ pair in the radiative decays of $\Upsilon(1S)$. The production of $\Upsilon(1S)$ mesons is tagged by $\Upsilon(2S)\to \pi^+ \pi^- \Upsilon(1S)$…
We measure the dipion mass spectrum in X(3872)--> J/Psi Pi+ Pi- decays using 360 pb-1 of pbar-p collisions at 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector. The spectrum is fit with predictions for odd C-parity (3S1, 1P1, and 3DJ) charmonia…
Two different approaches have been employed for the evaluation of the decay widths of Lambda-hypernuclei (ranging from $^5_{\Lambda}$He to $^{208}_{\Lambda}$Pb) with the polarization propagator method. In ref.[1], the two-nucleon stimulated…
Two bottom $\Sigma_b(6097)^\pm$ baryons were observed in the final states $\Lambda_b^0\pi^-$ and $\Lambda_b^0\pi^+$ in $pp$ collision by LHCb collaboration, whose masses and widths were measured. In a $^{3}P_{0}$ model, the strong decay…
Lifetime measurements using beam foil techniques for the $5s5p^{2}$ $^{2}D_{3/2,5/2}$ levels in Sn II are presented. The resulting oscillator strengths for transitions at 1699.4, 1831.8 and 1811.2 \AA{} are reported. We also studied these…
We study hadronic decays of mesons and baryons in the context of the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. Starting from a well-established effective interaction in rainbow-ladder truncation, we consistently calculate all ingredients of the…
Strong interaction $\Lambda\pi$ phase shifts relevant for the weak nonleptonic decay $\Xi \rightarrow \Lambda \pi$ are calculated using baryon chiral perturbation theory. We find in leading order that the S-wave phase shift vanishes and the…
It is well know that the precise measurement of $H\to\gamma\gamma$ can generate two degenerate parameter spaces of $H\gamma\gamma$ anomalous coupling. We propose to utilize the exclusive Higgs rare decays $H\to\Upsilon(ns)+\gamma$ to break…
In the study of CP violation signals in ${\O}\to\pi\Xi$ nonleptonic decays, the strong $J$=3/2 $P$ and $D$ phase shifts for the $\pi\Xi$ final-state interactions are needed. These phases are calculated using an effective Lagrangian model,…
The strong, electromagnetic and mixed strong-electromagnetic amplitudes of the $\psi(2S)$ decays into baryon-anti-baryon pairs have been obtained by exploiting all available data sets in the framework of an effective Lagrangian model. We…
We propose to search for CP-violating effects in the decay psi(2S)->J/psi+pi+pi. The scheme has the advantage that one does not need to track two or more CP-conjugate processes. Model independent amplitudes are derived for this purpose. The…
We have studied two-photon transitions from Upsilon(3S) decays recorded by the CLEO-III detector in exclusive events with two photons and either two electrons or two muons. We obtain precision measurements of the chi_b(2P_J) masses for J=2…
In this paper, we extend the results obtained in a previous work and investigate the most interesting decay processes involving axions, photons and the lightest pseudoscalar mesons in the more general case in which the quarks (and,…
Inspired by the newly observed two charged bottomonium-like states, we consider the possible contribution from the intermediate $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ states to the $\Upsilon(5S)\to \Upsilon(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decay process, which…

We compute the magnetic dipole transitions between low lying Heavy Quarkonium states in a model independent way. We use the weak-coupling version of the effective field theory named potential NRQCD with the static potential exactly…
Background: Until now the knowledge about nucleon resonances with a mass higher than 2 GeV has been scarce. Huge amounts of experimental data of the multipion photoproduction have been accumulated, and more can be expected in the future in…
