By analyzing a 2.93~$\rm fb^{-1}$ data sample of $e^+e^-$ collisions, recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 $\rm \,GeV$ with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we have searched for the semileptonic $D^+$ transition…
The mixing between q-qbar meson and qqbar-qqbar tetra-quark states is examined within an effective QCD Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian model. Mixing matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are computed and then diagonalized yielding an improved…
We present $I=1/2$ $D^\ast\pi$ scattering amplitudes from lattice QCD and determine two low-lying $J^P=1^+$ axial-vector $D_1$ states and a $J^P=2^+$ tensor $D_2^\ast$. Computing finite-volume spectra at a light-quark mass corresponding to…
We reanalyze the problems in the assignment of 3$^3S_1$ and 4$^3S_1$ light mesons, which have not yet been well established with the $q\bar{q}$ quark model. Regge trajectories and the $^3P_0$ decay model are used respectively to study the…
The large mass of the ninth pseudoscalar meson, the $\eta^\prime$, is believed to arise from the combined effects of the axial anomaly and the gauge field topology present in QCD. We report a realistic, 2+1 flavor, lattice QCD calculation…
The mass eigen states $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ are mixture of the strange members of two axial-vector SU(3) octet, $^3P_1(K_1^A)$ and $^1P_1(K_1^B)$. Taking into account this mixture, the forward-backward asymmetry and branching ratio of…
The \Sigma^0-\Lambda mixing angle in isospin-asymmetric nuclear medium is investigated by using QCD sum rules. From the general consideration of the in-medium baryonic correlations, in-medium baryon mixings are shown to have several Lorentz…
Compared to the other neutrino mixing angles \theta_{13} is small. The solar mass splitting is about two orders smaller than the atmospheric splitting. We show that it is possible that both are perturbative effects on a more symmetric…
Inspired by the newly observed $X(2085)$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we study the strong decay behaviors of excited axialvector strange mesons within the quark pair creation model. Our results indicate that the $K_1(1793)/K_1(1861)$ can be…
The vector meson $\omega$-$\phi$ mixing is studied in two alternative scenarios with different numbers of mixing angles, i.e., the one-mixing-angle scenario and the two-mixing-angle scenario, in both the octect-singlet mixing scheme and the…
Branching ratios observed for $D$ and B decays to final states $a_1(1260)^{\pm} X$ are comparable to those for corresponding decays to $\pi^{\pm} X$ and $\rho^{\pm} X$ and much larger than those for all other decays. Implications are…
Spectrum of masses of light pseudoscalar ($\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$) and vector ($\rho, K^*, \omega, \phi$) mesons can be explained on the base of the following assumptions: (1) analytical confinement (propagators of quarks and gluons are…
The light axial vector mesons can couple to $K^*\bar{K}+c.c.$ in an $S$ wave at the tree level. Due to the near-threshold $S$-wave interactions the couplings can be affected by the final state interactions. It is of peculiar interest that…
The axial-vector mesons $a_1(1260)$, $b_1(1235)$, $f_1(1285)$, $h_1(1170)$, $h_1(1380)$, and $K_1(1270)$ are dynamically generated in the unitized chiral perturbation theory. Such a picture has been tested extensively in the past few years.…
Recent measurements of the neutrino solar mixing angle and the Cabibbo angle satisfy the empirical relation theta_{sol} + theta_{C} ~ 45^{o}. This relation suggests the existence of a correlation between the mixing matrices of leptons and…
The light hadron decay processes of $Z_b(10610)/Z_b(10650)$ provide us a way to study their nature and decay mechanism. In this work, we evaluate the branching ratios of $Z_b(10610)/Z_b(10650) \to VP$ ($V$ and $P$ stand for light vector and…
We speculate that the mass spectrum of three neutrinos might have a normal hierarchy as that of three charged leptons or that of three up-type (or down-type) quarks. In this spirit, we propose a novel parametrization of the $3\times 3$…
The angular analysis of exclusive rare B-meson decays via intermediate vector mesons V into 4-body final states of two pseudo-scalars P_1, P_2 and a pair of light leptons l = e, mu offers a large set of observables. They can be used to test…
We present results for the coupling of the light vector mesons to the tensor current, relative to the standard vector meson decay constants. From an O(a)-improved lattice study, performed at three values of the lattice spacing in the…
We investigate the strong coupling constants of $D D A$, $D^{*}D^{*}A$ and $D^{*} D A$ vertices in the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules, where $A$ is an axial vector meson such as $a_1, b_1, K_{1A}, K_{1B}, K_1(1270)$ and…
