Mesons play a crucial role in understanding the strong interaction in the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). However, the mass and decay width of several ordinary and exotic mesons remain experimentally undetermined. In this work,…

We follow a model based on the SU(8) symmetry for the interaction of mesons with baryons. The model treats on an equal footing the pseudo-scalars and the vector mesons, as required by heavy quark symmetry. The T-matrix calculated within an…
We study meson-meson scattering in a soluble model which describes asymptotically free mesons and confined quark-antiquark pairs via coupled channels. Concretely, the two scattered mesons are assumed to interact through s-channel…
Tremendous progress has been made experimentally in the hadron spectrum containing heavy quarks in the last two decades. It is surprising that many resonant structures are around thresholds of a pair of heavy hadrons. There should be a…
The mixing of a new $Z'$ boson with the $Z$ significantly improves the fit to the LEP precision electroweak data, provided that the $Z'$ couples mainly to quarks. If $M_{Z_2}<200$~GeV, the $s$-channel $Z_2$ production and $(W,Z,\gamma)Z_2$…
