A continuum approach to quark-antiquark bound-states is used to determine the electromagnetic form factors of pion-like mesons with masses $m_{0^-}/{\rm GeV}=0.14$, $0.47$, $0.69$, $0.83$ on a spacelike domain that extends to $Q^2 \lesssim…
We evaluate energy levels of the K-pi system in the K* channel in finite volume using chiral unitary theory. We use these energy levels to obtain K-pi phase shifts, and then obtain the K* mass and its decay width. We investigate their…
We propose a phenomenological three component model describing the decay amplitude of the process $D_{s}^{+} \ra 3\pi$. The first component is a constant background, the second one is a Breit-Wigner amplitude associated to a quasi two-body…
We study the density dependence of the decay $\pi^0\to \gamma \gamma$ using the Skyrme Lagrangian to describe simultaneously both the matter background and mesonic fluctuations. Pion properties such as mass and decay constant are modified…
We have searched for the pion decay pi^+ --> mu^+ X, where X is a neutral particle of mass 33.905 MeV. This process was suggested by the KARMEN Collaboration to explain an anomaly in their observed time distribution of neutrino induced…
We perform a new calculation of the hadronic contributions, $a({\rm Hadronic})$ to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu$. For the low energy contributions of order $\alpha^2$ we carry over an analysis of the pion form factor…
We report on the progress of our calculation of form factors for the exclusive semileptonic decay of $B$ mesons to pions on $2+1$ flavour lattices with spacings from $0.080~\mathrm{fm}$ down to $0.044~\mathrm{fm}$. Using the M\"{o}bius…
We estimate a possible contribution of the two-pion system $f_0(500)$ wide resonance to the decay probability of the super rare decay $K^+ \to 3\pi^0 e^+ \nu$. We vary the width of the resonance from 0.01 MeV to 1000 MeV. We found that the…
We present results for Monte Carlo calculations of the electromagnetic vector and scalar form factors of the pion in a quenched simulation. We work at a lattice spacing of 0.15 fm and use two lattice volumes up to a spatial size of 2.4 fm.…
As a consequence of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking the pion Bethe-Salpeter amplitude necessarily contains terms proportional to gamma_5 gamma.P and gamma_5 gamma.k, where k is the relative and P the total momentum of the constituents.…
To describe pion as a bound state of two quark, when their current masses are non equal to zero, is considered. In the framefowrk of the potential approximate the Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe-Salpeter equations are solved. The quark-antiquark…
Fits of pion-nucleus potentials to large sets of pionic atom data reveal departures of parameter values from the corresponding free $\pi N$ parameters. These medium effects can be quantitatively reproduced by a chiral-motivated model where…
Chiral symmetry is restored at high density, quarks become nearly massless and pion, the Goldstone of the symmetry breaking decouples from the quarks. What happens at high density is important for finding the density dependence of Strange…
We use one-loop chiral perturbation theory to compare potential lattice computations of the K+ --> pi+ pi0 decay amplitude at m_K=2m_pi with the experimental value. We find that the combined one-loop effect due to this unphysical pion to…
Delta I=3/2, K to Pi Pi matrix elements are calculated on 68 configurations of quenched 24^3 x 64 lattices using the DBW2 action, and domain wall fermions with L_s=16. The lattice spacing is a^(-1)=1.3 GeV, corresponding to a physical…
The temperature dependence of the sum of the QCD up- and down-quark masses, $(m_u + m_d)$ and the pion decay constant, $f_\pi$, are determined from two thermal finite energy QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar-current correlator. This…
We develop a formalism to calculate form factor and charge density distribution of pion in the chiral limit using the holographic dual model of QCD with hard-wall cutoff. We introduce two conjugate pion wave functions and present analytic…
We study lattice QCD determinations of the pion mass and decay constant by means of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). The lattice data are obtained from large scale simulations with N_f=2 flavours of twisted mass fermions at maximal twist.…
In the real-time thermal field theory, the pion self-energy at finite temperature and density is evaluated where the different mesonic and baryonic loops are considered. The interactions of pion with the other mesons and baryons in the…
We study the decays $\pi^{+}\to l^{+}\nu_{l}$ in the presence of a background electromagnetic plane wave with circular polarization. We find that, in the presence of this background, the number of hadronic form factors required to describe…
