We analyze the mass spectroscopy of low and high mass scalar mesons and get the result that the coupling strengths of the mixing between low and high mass scalar mesons are very strong and the strengths of mixing for $I=1, 1/2$ scalar…
We study the scattering of the light-flavor pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi, K, \eta$) off the ground-state charmed mesons ($D,D_s$) within chiral effective field theory. The recent lattice simulation results on various scattering lengths and the…
We study the origins of the inaccuracies of Schwinger's nonet mass, and the Sakurai mass-mixing angle, formulae for the pseudoscalar meson nonet, and suggest new versions of them, modified by the inclusion of the pseudoscalar decay…
We show that the newly measured branching ratios of vector charmonia ($J/\psi$, $\psi^\prime$ and $\psi(3770))$ into $\gamma P$, where $P$ stands for light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta^\prime$, can be well understood in…
We investigate the magnetic dipole decays $V\to P\gamma$ of various heavy-flavored mesons such as $(D,D^*,D_s,D^{*}_s,\eta_c, J/\psi)$ and $(B,B^*,B_s,B^*_s,\eta_b,\Upsilon)$ using the light-front quark model constrained by the variational…
A search for the invisible decays of $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons in $J/\psi\to \omega (\phi)\eta$ transitions has been performed by the BESIII Collaboration very recently. Inspired by this experimental study, we compute the lowest order…
We evaluate radiative decays of $\rho$ and $\omega$ going to two neutral mesons, $\pi^{0} \pi^{0}$ and $\pi^{0} \eta$. We use the sequential vector decay mechanisms in addition to chiral loops and $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing. The chiral loops…
We reexamine the $\omega \to \pi^{0} \pi^{0} \gamma $ decay, adding the effect of $\omega-\rho$ mixing to the amplitude calculated with the aid of chiral perturbation theory and vector meson dominance. We predict the neutral decay to occur…
Expressions for decay amplitudes of B0, B- and Bs mesons to two light pseudoscalar or vector mesons, including isosinglet mesons eta, eta', omega, phi, are obtained using Soft Collinear Effective Theory at LO in 1/mb. These are then used to…
In spite of undeniable similarities of the applied techniques, somewhat different challenges are encountered when extracting, from QCD sum rules derived from two-point correlators of appropriate interpolating heavy-light quark currents, the…
In the present work, the mixing angle of the vector $\omega(782)$ and $\phi(1020)$ mesons is estimated in the framework of Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. The decay $\phi \to \pi^{0} \gamma$ is considered as a basic process to determine this…
It is interesting to determine the fraction of the gluonium component in $\eta$ and $\eta'$ which has been under serious discussion for many years. Measurements on different decay and/or production modes were employed in literatures, thus…
A review of recent experimental results of Dalitz analyses of charmed meson decays into three-body final states is presented. These analyses can help in understanding the strong interaction dynamics leading to the observed light mesons…
Current data of charmless B meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons (PP) and one vector and one pseudoscalar mesons (VP) are analyzed within the framework of flavor SU(3) symmetry, a working principle that we have tested by allowing…
The phenomenon of mixing in neutral meson systems has now been observed in all flavours, but only in the past year in the D0 system. The standard model anticipated that, for the charm sector, the mixing rate would be small, and also that CP…
A complete theoretical analysis of the $C$-conserving semileptonic decays $\eta^{(\prime)}\to\pi^0l^+l^-$ and $\eta^\prime\to\eta l^+l^-$ ($l=e$ or $\mu$) is carried out within the framework of the Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) model. An…

We study semileptonic $B$ meson decays $B^+ \to D_1^{(\prime)}\ell^+\nu_\ell$ and $B_s^0 \to D_{s1}^{-(\prime)}\ell^+\nu_\ell$, where $\ell=\mu,\tau$. The final state axial vector mesons are treated as mixtures of the heavy quark basis…
We estimate the quantity |f_eta'^(c)| which is associated with the charm content of eta' meson from the experimentally known ratio R=B(psi ->eta' gamma )/B(psi ->eta_c gamma). It is shown that due to the off-shellness of the c\bar c…
