Recently, the BESIII Collaboration reported the first observation of the decays $\chi_{cJ} \to \eta \eta \eta^\prime$ in order to search for the $1^{-+}$ exotic state $\eta_1(1855)$. A partial wave analysis of the $\eta \eta^\prime$…

We investigate the $\eta^\prime \to \eta \pi\pi$ decays within the framework of large-$N_{C}$ chiral perturbation theory, by calculating the decay amplitudes up to next-to-next-to-leading order in a simultaneous expansion in powers of…

Four decay modes of the $B_c^+$ meson into a $J/\psi$ meson and multiple charged kaons or pions are studied using proton-proton collision data, collected with the~LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13~TeV and…

We use the Polyakov-loop extended two-flavor quark-meson model as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study the phase diagram in the $\mu_I$--$T$ plane where $\mu_I$ is the isospin chemical potential. In particular, we focus on the Bose…

Some atomic decays of elementary particles with pionium ($\pi^+\pi^-$-dimesoatom) in the final state are considered. Only for K-meson atomic decays are the corresponding branching ratios big enough to make their experimental study…

We present a higher-twist production mechanism for $\eta_c$ and $\chi_J$ charmonium at large momentum fraction $x_F$ in pion-nucleon collisions. The higher-twist contribution is essentially independent of $x_F$ and therefore becomes…
