We consider supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with a vector-like doublet $(T \, B)$ of quarks with charge $2/3$ and $-1/3$, respectively. Compared to non-supersymmetric models, there is a variety of new decay modes for the…
Rare Higgs decays into a pair of heavy vector quarkonia, $h\to VV$ ($V=J/\Psi$, $\Upsilon$ etc.), have been investigated in the standard model. Different from the past literature in which these decays are thought to be only dominated by the…
Rigorous QCD predictions for decay rates of the P-wave states of heavy quarkonia are presented. They are based on a new factorization theorem which is valid to leading order in the heavy quark velocity and to all orders in the running…
The newly-discovered $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ decays into the $ \Lambda_{c}^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$, but the experimental data has indicated that this decay is not saturated by any two-body intermediate state. In this work, we analyze the multi-body weak…

We consider the physics and collider phenomenology of quirks that transform nontrivially under QCD color, SU(2)_W as well as an SU(N)_{ic} infracolor group. Our main motivation is to show that the recent Wjj excess observed by CDF naturally…
We compute the branching fractions of vector quarkonia ($V_Q=J/\psi, \psi', \Upsilon(nS)$) decays into neutrino pairs, considering both Dirac and Majorana types, within the Standard Model (SM) and beyond. The vector nature of quarkonium…
The decay rates of P-wave heavy quarkonia to light hadrons are presented to leading order in $v^2$ and next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. They include contributions from both the color-singlet component and the color-octet component of…
We present a new factorization theorem for the decay rates of P-wave states of heavy quarkonia. Infrared logarithms that had appeared in previous perturbative calculations of P-wave decays are absorbed into a quantity that is related to the…
Vectorlike fermions are an important target for hadron collider searches. We show that the vectorlike quarks may predominantly decay via higher-dimensional operators into a quark plus a couple of other Standard Model fermions. Pair…
We consider the formation of chiral density waves in Quarkyonic matter, which is a phase where cold, dense quarks experience confining forces. We model confinement following Gribov and Zwanziger, taking the gluon propagator, in Coulomb…

Partial decay widths and branching fractions are calculated for the exclusive decays of the Standard Model Higgs boson into a pair of vector quarkonium states, $ H\to J/\psi J/\psi, H\to \Upsilon \Upsilon, H\to J/\psi \phi, H\to J/\psi…
Here we present the two-photon and two-gluon decay widths of the S-wave ($\eta_{Q\in c,b}$) and P-wave ($\chi_{Q\in c,bJ}$) charmonium and bottonium states and the radiative transition decay widths of $c\bar c$, $b\bar b$ and $c\bar b$…
In this article, we take the tensor currents $\bar{Q}(x)\sigma_{\mu\nu}Q(x)$ to interpolate the $P$-wave spin-singlet heavy quarkonium states $h_Q$, and study the masses and decay constants with the Borel sum rules and moments sum rules.…
The 125 GeV resonance discovered at the LHC could be a heavy quarkonium, spin 0 pseudoscalar meson $\zeta^0$. The decay rates of the $\zeta^0$ meson resonance are calculated and compared to the standard model Higgs boson decay rates. The…
Weak radiative hyperon decays are considered in the framework of a quark model. The phenomenological model includes 1-quark transitions with the effective $sd\gamma$-vertex and 2-quark ones with the W-exchange $s+u\to u+d+\gamma$ and turns…
