A precision determination of the neutral-pion width would improve determinations of the splitting between the up- and down-quark masses, and matrix elements for the decay of neutral mesons into two photons could play a role in the attempt…
The extrapolation of the decay amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons into two photons from the soft meson limit where it is obtained from the axial-anomaly to the mass shell involves the contribution of the 0^ - continuum. These chiral…
The vector and pseudoscalar decay constants are calculated in the framework of the Field Correlator Method. Di-electron widths: $\Gamma_{ee}(J/\psi)=5.41$ keV, $\Gamma_{ee}(\psi'(3686))=2.47$ keV, $\Gamma_{ee}(\psi''(3770))=0.248$ keV, in…
A chiral field theory of mesons has been applied to study the contribution of the current quark masses to the $\pi^0\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ decay width at the next leading order. $2\%$ enhancement has been predicted and there is no new…
Two--photon decays of Higgs bosons are important channels for the search of these particles in the intermediate mass range at the $pp$ colliders LHC and SSC. Dynamical aspects of the Higgs coupling to two photons can also be studied by…
The data collected by the LHC collaborations at an energy of 13 TeV indicates the presence of an excess in the diphoton spectrum that would correspond to a resonance of a 750 GeV mass. The apparently large production cross section is…
We reply to the preceding Comment by E. van Beveren et al., arXiv:0811.2589 [hep-ph].
The two--loop ${\cal O}(\alpha_s G_F m_t^2)$ corrections to the $b\bar b$ decay rate of the Standard Model Higgs boson as well as its production via $e^+e^- \to ZH$ will be presented. These QCD corrections are obtained by using a low-energy…
The diphoton excess around $m_S=750$ GeV observed at ATLAS and CMS can be interpreted as coming from $S=H$ and $A$, the neutral components of a second Higgs doublet. If so, then the consistency of the light Higgs decays with the Standard…
We present measurements of the gamma gamma* --> pi0 transition form factor for the momentum transfer range Q^2=4-40 GeV^2 and the gamma gamma* --> eta_c transition form factor for the range Q^2=2-50 GeV^2. The results of the measurement of…
QCD radiative correction to Higgs $\rightarrow$ two photons decay rate is calculated. Below the threshold we found negligible correction, thus supporting results obtained earlier by Djouadi et all [7]. Above the threshold radiative…
Properties of single beauty baryons ($\Sigma_{b},\Lambda_{b}$) are studied based on the quark-diquark structure. The confinement potential is assumed as two body colour coulomb plus power potential with exponent $\nu$. We find a strong…
It is shown that the 750 GeV diphoton excess can be explained in extensions of Two-Higgs-Doublet Models that do not involve large multiplicities of new electromagnetically charged states. The key observation is that at moderate and large…
The imaginary part of the Feynman amplitude of the $W$-loop contribution to the Higgs decay into two gammas (viewed as a function of the square of the off shell Higgs momentum) is finite and unambiguous. It is presented as the product of an…
QED gauge invariance, when combined with analyticity, leads to constraints on the low energy end of the emitted photon spectra. This is known as Low's theorem. It is shown that the Ore-Powell result, as well as further developments for the…
Two-body decay widths of lowest lying and next-to-lowest lying scalar and pseudoscalar mesons are studied in Generalized Linear Sigma Model (GLSM) of low-energy QCD. This model which considers mixing between "two quark" and "four quark"…
Two photon decays of scalar mesons f_0(980), a_0(980), \sigma(600) in the quark Nambu - Jona - Lasinio (NJL) model are calculated. The contributions of the meson loops are taken into account along with the quark loops (Hartree - Fock…
We study the two photon decay of neutral scalars below 1.5 GeV in the context of a recently proposed chiral model for bar{q}q and bar{q}bar{q}qq states. We find good agreement with experimental results for the a_{0}(980)->gamma gamma. Our…
The discrepancy between the muon $g-2$ measurement and the Standard Model prediction points to new physics around or below the weak scale. It is tantalizing to consider the loop effects of a heavy axion (in the general sense, also known as…
We propose a direct method to calculate the decay width of a hadron decaying to two photons, which is conventionally obtained by an extrapolation for various off-shell form factors. The new method provides an simple way to examine the…
