We consider the reaction $\gamma p \to M p$, with M being either a $\Phi$ or a $J/\Psi$ meson, within perturbative QCD treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. The phenomenological couplings of gauge bosons to (spatially extended)…
We present our initial study of the electromagnetic splittings of charged and neutral mesons, and the violation of Dashen's theorem. Hadron masses are calculated on MILC N_f=2+1 QCD ensembles at lattice spacing \approx 0.15fm, together with…
The approximate chiral invariance of the two-flavor QCD is known to be spontaneously broken. This effect explains the relatively small pion mass and, as is widely believed, the mass splittings of would-be chiral partners --- the hadrons of…
We consider in details the dual models for the Goldstone mesons (pions) scattering in the presence of the explicit chiral symmetry breaking caused by non-zero current quark mass. New method of incorporation of the quark masses into the dual…

We consider the ratios of doubly heavy baryon masses using Double Ratios of Sum Rules (DRSR), which are more accurate than the usual simple ratios used for getting hadron masses. Our results are comparable with the ones from potential…
Results are presented for the electromagnetic mass splittings of the low lying hadrons. These are used to determine the non-degenerate light quark masses. It is found that m_u=2.24(10)(34), m_d=4.65(15)(32), and $m_s=97.6(2.9)(5.5)$ MeV…
The hyperfine splittings $\Delta_D=(m_{D^*_s}-m_{D_s})-(m_{D^{*+}}-m_{D^+})$ and $\Delta_B=(m_{B^*_s}-m_{B_s})-(m_{B^{*0}}-m_{B^0})$ are analyzed in the framework of an effective lagrangian possessing chiral, heavy flavour and spin…
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) is a remarkably effective mass generating mechanism. It is also, amongst other things, the foundation for a successful application of chiral effective field theories, the origin of constituent-quark…
We use the method of QCD sum rules to investigate the isospin symmetry breaking of K and K* mesons. The electromagnetic effect, difference between up and down current-quark masses and difference between up and down quark condensates are…
A basic understanding of the relevant features of hadron properties from first principles QCD has remained elusive, and should be understood as emergent phenomena which depend critically on the number of dimensions of physical spacetime.…
The partial spatial separation of cold dark matter (DM) and gas is a ubiquitous feature in the formation of cosmic large-scale structure. This separation, termed dissociation, is prominent in galaxy clusters that formed through collisions…
The properties of QCD matter at finite isospin densities are investigated employing holographic hard-wall and soft-wall AdS/QCD models. It is confirmed that at high enough isospin densities, charged pions start to condense and the pion…
We investigate meson's spectrum, decay constant and form factor in a nuclear medium through holographic two- and three-point correlation functions. To describe a nuclear medium composed of protons and neutrons, we consider a hard wall model…
Isospin effects on the optical potentials of kaons and antikaons in dense hadronic matter are investigated using a chiral SU(3) model. These effects are important for asymmetric heavy ion collision experiments. In the present work the…
We investigate the isospin-violating mixing of the light scalar mesons a0(980) and f0(980) within the unitarized chiral approach. Isospin-violating effects are considered to leading order in the quark mass difference and electromagnetism.…
We compute masses of $D$ mesons, $D_s$ mesons and charmonium states using Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. We present results for spin $J = 0,1,2,3$, parity $\mathcal{P} = -,+$ and in case of charmonium also charge conjugation $\mathcal{C}…
Heavy-hadron chiral perturbation theory (HH$\chi$PT) is applied to the decays of the even-parity charmed strange mesons, D_{s0}(2317) and D_{s1}(2460). Heavy-quark spin symmetry predicts the branching fractions for the three electromagnetic…
The medium modifications of the masses of the charmonium states (J/$\psi$, $\psi$(3686) and $\psi$(3770)) in asymmetric nuclear matter in the presence of strong magnetic fields are studied using an effective chiral model. The mass…
