The mass of the bottom quark is analyzed in the context of QCD finite energy sum rules. In contrast to the conventional approach, we use a large momentum expansion of the QCD correlator including terms to order \alpha…
We discuss the role of QCD symmetries in understanding the eta and etaprime mesons in nuclear media. Recent results on the etaprime mass in nuclei from the CBELSA/TAPS collaboration are very similar to the prediction of the Quark Meson…
We evaluate in perturbative QCD, up to order $\alpha_s^4$, the mass of the $B_c$. We use the so-called 1S-mass in order to improve the convergence of the perturbative series. Our result is $E(B_c)_{pert} = 6326^{+29}_{-9}$ MeV.…
In this paper we extend the well known QCD sum rules used in the calculation of the mass of heavy mesons to estimate the modification of the charged B meson mass, m_B, in the presence of an external Abelian magnetic field, eB. Two…
Results for light quark masses obtained from lattice QCD simulations are compared and contrasted with other determinations. Relevance of these results to estimates of $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is discussed.
I quickly review the successes of quantum chromodynamics. Then I assess the current state of the electroweak theory, making brief comments about the search for the Higgs boson and some of the open issues for the theory. I sketch the…
Significant progress has been made in the determination of the light quark masses, using both lattice QCD and sum rule methods, in the last year. We discuss the different methods and review the status of current results. Finally, we review…
Among numerous theoretical ideas, approaches, mechanisms, models there are probably few elements which will eventually enter the true theory of neutrino masses and mixing. The task is to identify them. Still something conceptually important…
Quark mass determinations based on lattice QCD simulations have continued to make strides in recent years. Here I review that progress with a focus on developments computing the charm (and bottom) quark masses since the 2015 edition of…
The recent progress in understanding the QCD phase diagram and the physics of the QCD critical point is reviewed.
Motivated by the need to understand hadron masses, we reexamine an old problem in QED - the composition of the electron mass - in a modern perspective. We find that in the unrenormalized QED, the vacuum subtraction plays an important role…
Using chiral perturbation theory and the large-$N_c$ expansion, we obtain expressions for the $\eta'$ mass and $\eta - \eta'$ mixing in terms of low-energy chiral Lagrangian parameters. This is accomplished through an intermediate step of…
I present a simple discussion of the masses and mixings of the light pseudoscalar and vector mesons based on a ``$q\bar{q}$'' description of the effective field theory. The analysis includes $\eta'$(958) from the beginning, and is largely…
This paper surveys recent progress on issues related to the Bartnik quasi-local mass $m_B$. In addition, we formulate a number of new problems and conjectures regarding foundational properties of the mass $m_B$. This work is dedicated with…
We derive a formula which relates the QCD potentials in momentum space and in position space in terms of the beta-function of the renormalization-group equation for the potential. This formula is used to study the theoretical uncertainties…
The inclusive and exclusive B decays into the eta' meson plus others are investigated in a model based on the QCD anomaly. The invariant mass distribution is discussed. The constraint of the effective coupling is obtained from the data of…
Recent developments in the theory and experiment of QCD hard scattering are described.
It has been known for a long time that the large experimental singlet-octet mass gap in the pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum originates from the anomaly of the axial vector current, i.e. from nonperturbative effects and the nontrivial…
We present results for the mass of the flavor singlet meson calculated on two-flavor full QCD configurations generated by the CP-PACS full QCD project. We also investigate topological charge fluctuations and their dependence on the sea…
