We study the strong and radiative decays of the radial excitation of the $\rho$ meson, with quantum numbers $n$ $^{2S+1}L_{J}=2$ $^{3}S_{1},$ $I=1$, and denoted as $\rho_{E}$, by making use of an effective model. We test different masses:…
The semileptonic decays of $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_{c}^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ and $\Lambda_{c}\to\Lambda^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ are studied in the light-front quark model in this work. Instead of the quark-diquark approximation, we use the…
In a finite volume, resonances and multi-hadron states are identified by discrete energy levels. When comparing the results of lattice QCD calculations to scattering experiments, it is important to have a way of associating the energy…
In this work we study the E1 decay processes, $^3P_1$ $\rightarrow$ $^3S_1\gamma$, and $^3S_1$ $\rightarrow$ $^3P_1\gamma$ in the framework of Bethe-Salpeter equation and calculate their decay widths. We have used algebraic forms of…
In this work we calculate the mass spectrum and decay constants of ground and excited states of heavy-light $P$-wave mesons such as $1^{++}$ and $1^{+-}$, with quark composition, $c\overline{u}, c\overline{s}, b\overline{u}, b\overline{s}$,…

The ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}D_{s}$, $B_{c}D_{d}$ weak decays are studied with the pQCD approach firstly. It is found that branching ratios ${\cal B}r({\Upsilon}(nS){\to}B_{c}D_{s})$ ${\sim}$ ${\cal O}(10^{-10})$ and ${\cal…

With the ongoing experimental interest in exploring the excited hadron spectrum, evaluations of the matrix elements describing the formation and decay of such states via radiative processes provide us with an important connection between…
Excitation energies of the ns_{1/2} (n=7-10), np_j (n=7-9), nd_j (n=6-8), nf_{j} (n=5-7), and ng_{j} (n=5-6) states in Th IV are evaluated. First-, second-, third-, and all-order Coulomb energies and first- and second-order Coulomb-Breit…
We calculate the transition between a quarkonium state and an unbound heavy quark-antiquark pair through gluo-dissociation and inelastic parton scattering using a partonic picture that interpolates between the formal limits based on…
We optically probe the spectrum of ground and excited state transitions of an individual, electrically tunable self-assembled quantum dot molecule. Photocurrent absorption measurements show that the spatially direct neutral exciton…
We analyze the overlap of local color-octet meson operators with the $\Upsilon$ and the $\eta_b$ and their low-lying excited states, especially the first radial excitations. Our analysis is based on NRQCD and includes all terms up to order…
We analyze the time evolution of a two-level system prepared in a superposition of its ground state and radiatively unstable excited state. We show that by choosing appropriate means of detection of the radiated field, we can steer the…
We determine the nucleon-sigma terms from lattice QCD. We find that the dominant excited state contamination in the nucleon three-point function with a scalar current is due to the transition between the nucleon and a S-wave scattering…
The electromagnetic decay processes of excited hyperon states are a very sensitive probe of the structure of hyperons. We will argue that the recent measurements of electromagnetic decay rates indicate that the wave functions of the hyperon…

We measure the masses, decay widths and relative production rate of orbitally excited B mesons using 1.25 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the L3 detector. B-meson candidates are inclusively reconstructed and combined with charged…
Processes mediated by two virtual low-energy photons contribute quite significantly to the energy of hydrogenic S states. The corresponding level shift is of the order of (alpha/pi)^2 (Zalpha)^6 m_e c^2 and may be ascribed to a two-loop…
