We consider the existence of the state X^0 (214 MeV) in Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^- decay found by the HyperCP collaboration. We assume that a fundamental spin zero boson X^0 coupled to quarks leads to flavor changing s -> d X^0 process. We…
We show that isospin/SU(3) breaking terms can be introduced to the anomalous VVP coupling in the hidden local symmetry scheme without changing Wess-Zumino-Witten term in the low-energy limit. We make the analysis for anomalous processes of…
For weak decays $B_d^{0}\to \pi\pi$ and $K\bar{K}$ the effects of SU(3) breaking in coupled-channel final-state interaction effects are discussed in a Regge framework. It is shown that SU(3) breaking in the inelastic final-state transitions…
Embeddings of the standard model in type II string theory typically contain a variety of U(1) gauge factors arising from D-branes in the bulk. In general, there is no reason why only one of these - the one corresponding to weak hypercharge…
A new SO(10) unified model is proposed based on a one step breaking of SO(10) to the Standard Model gauge group $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)_Y$ using a single 144 of Higgs. The symmetry breaking occurs when the SU(5) 24-plet component of…
Based on a dataset acquired by the BaBar experiment running on and near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance from 1999-2002, limits are set on the rate of $D^0$-- $\kern 0.2em\bar{\kern -0.2em D}{}^0$ mixing using the decay mode $D^{*+} \to D^0…
The recent measurement of the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in semileptonic b-hadron decays by the D0 Collaboration is about 3 sigmas away from the standard-model prediction, hinting at the presence of CP-violating new physics in the…
The resonant substructure of $B_s^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^- \pi^+$ decays is studied using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb detector. An excess at…
We study the implications of several recent high-precision measurements of the pion form factor in the region of the rho-omega interference "shoulder" for (i) the extraction of the rho-omega mixing matrix element, Pi_{\rho\omega}(m_rho^2),…
We argue that there could be large, SU(3) violating resonance contributions to D -> K pi decays which would affect the extraction of the D0-anti-D0 mixing parameters from experiment. Such contributions can induce a large strong phase in the…
It is demonstrated for the first time that the strong coupling between spin moments of copper ions and oxygen holes, which arises upon hybridazation mixing of two hole subsystems in the Emery model, not only affects the formation of spin…
To leading order in displacement size, the scattering of electrons in a Cu-O plane from O displacements perpendicular to that plane is due to spin-orbit coupling. This scattering is investigated with the following results: (1) As a…
The $D \bar{D}^*$ interaction via a $\rho$ or $\omega$ exchange is constructed within an extended hidden gauge symmetry approach, where the strange quark is replaced by the charm quark in the $SU(3)$ flavor space. With this $D \bar{D}^*$…
The most general supersymmetric model contains baryon number violating terms of the form $\lm_{ijk}\ \ov{D}_i\ \ov{D}_j\ \ov{U}_k$ in the superpotential. We reconsider the bounds on these couplings, assuming that lepton number conservation…
Motivated by our earlier findings of sensitive quark-flavor dependence of QCD topological susceptibility on products of current quark masses and corresponding condensates, we allow the breaking of isospin symmetry. For the purpose of future…
We study the effect of representation mixing in the SU(3) Skyme model by diagonalizing exactly the representation-dependent part. It is observed that even without the next-to-leading order symmetry breaking terms the low-lying baryon masses…
The recent discovery of a narrow resonance in D_s+pi^0 by the BABAR collaboration is consistent with the interpretation of a heavy J^P(0+,1+) spin multiplet. This system is the parity partner of the groundstate (0-,1-) multiplet, which we…
We construct new D6-brane model vacua (non-supersymmetric) that have at low energy exactly the standard model spectrum (with right handed neutrinos). The minimal version of these models requires five stacks of branes. and the construction…
We describe two recent results using data collected with the CLEO detector at the CESR e+e- collider at energies near the Upsilon(4S). The first is a Dalitz plot analysis of the decay D0->K0spi+pi-. We observe a rich structure including the…
The 3S1-3D1 mixing angle for nucleon-nucleon scattering, epsilon_1, is calculated to next-to-next-to-leading order in an effective field theory with perturbative pions. Without pions, the low energy theory fits the observed epsilon_1 well…
