In the heavy-quark limit, the hadronic matrix elements entering nonleptonic $B$-meson decays into two light mesons can be calculated from first principles including ``nonfactorizable'' strong-interaction corrections. The $B\to\pi K,\pi\pi$…

The 2.5 sigma discrepancy between theory and experiment observed in the difference A_CP(B^- --> pi^0 K^-)-A_CP(Bbar^0 --> pi^+ K^-) can be explained by a new electroweak penguin amplitude. Motivated by this result, we analyse the purely…
The vacuum spectrum of the $\phi$-meson is characterized by its decay into $K{\bar K} $. Modifications of the $K {\bar K}$-loops in baryonic matter change this spectrum. We calculate these in-medium modifications taking both s- and p-wave…
The $s-$wave meson-baryon scattering is analyzed for the isospin-strangeness $I=1/2, S=0$ and $I=0,S=-1$ sectors, in a Bethe-Salpeter coupled channel formalism incorporating Chiral Symmetry. For both sectors, four channels have been…

We discuss the two and three particle light-cone distribution amplitudes (DAs) of pseudoscalar nonsinglet mesons of twist 3 and 4. Using nonlocal operator identities and conformal expansion, we derive closed expressions for several DAs. We…
We present a model-independent parametrization of the $B^\pm\to J/\psi K^\pm$, $B_d\to J/\psi K_S$ decay amplitudes by taking into account the constraints that are implied by the isospin symmetry of strong interactions. Employing estimates…
The properties of the population of merging binary black holes encode some of the uncertain physics of the evolution of massive stars in binaries. The binary black hole merger rate and chirp mass distribution are being measured by…
We complete the construction of the non-forward evolution kernels in next-to-leading order responsible for the scale dependence of e.g. parity even singlet distribution amplitudes. Our formalism is designed to avoid any explicit two-loop…
It has been reported that there are two populations of Be/X-ray pulsars, with the pulse period distribution peaked at $\sim$ 10 s and $\sim$ 200 s, respectively. A possible explanation of this bimodal distribution is related to different…
We present an improved calculation on the pionic twist-3 distribution amplitudes $\phi^{\pi}_{p}$ and $\phi^{\pi}_{\sigma}$, which are studied within the QCD sum rules. By adding all the uncertainties in quadrature, it is found that…
