We study the hyperfine splitting in the framework of the noncommutative quantum mechanics (NCQM) developed in the literature. The results show deviations from the usual quantum mechanics. We show that the energy difference between two…
The recoil, vacuum polarization and electron vertex corrections of first and second orders in the fine structure constant $\alpha$ and the ratio of electron to muon and electron to \alpha-particle masses are calculated in the hyperfine…
Using Heavy Quark Effective Theory with non-perturbatively determined parameters in a quenched lattice calculation, we evaluate the splittings between the ground state and the first two radially excited states of the $B_s$ system at static…
The mass splitting between the quarkonium spin-singlet state $h$ ($J^{PC} = 1^{+-}$) and the spin average of the quarkonium spin-triplet states $\chi$ ($J^{PC} = 0^{++}, 1^{++}, 2^{++}$) is seen to be astonishingly small, not only in the…
We extract directly (for the first time) the charmed (C=1) and bottom (B=-1) heavy-baryons (spin 1/2 and 3/2) mass-splittings due to SU(3) breaking using double ratios of QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) in full QCD, which are less sensitive…
We report the measurements of the leptonic decays B->lnu obtained at the Belle experiment. The results are consistent with the Standard Model expectations, and provide stringent constraints on new physics models including charged Higgs…
Semileptonic $B$ meson decays into the four lightest excited charmed meson states ($D_0^*$, $D_1^*$, $D_1$, and $D_2^*$) and their counterparts with $s$ quarks are investigated, including the full lepton mass dependence. We derive the…
A study of the finite-size effect is carried out for spectra of both ground-state and excited-state baryons in quenched lattice QCD using Wilson fermions. Our simulations are performed at beta=6.2 with three different spatial sizes, La~1.6,…
We perform an extrapolation from negative to positive flavour numbers of full QCD lattice estimates of the $\eta'$ mass. The extrapolations are carried out by keeping $\rho$ and $\pi$ masses at fixed values. We find an $\eta'$ -- $\pi$…
We present results on lepton energy and recoil hadronic mass moments in semileptonic B decay using a total of 9.4 fb^-1 of data taken with the CLEO detector at the \Upsilon(4S). These results are discussed in the context of Heavy Quark…
We briefly discuss the predictions of the heavy quark effective theory for the semileptonic decays of a heavy pseudoscalar to a light one, or to a light vector meson. We point out that measurement of combinations of differential helicity…
We present a lattice investigation of heavy-light mesons in the quenched approximation, using non-relativistic QCD for the heavy quark and a clover improved Wilson formulation for the light quark. A comprehensive calculation of the…
Based on the standard model (SM) of particle physics, we study the decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+ \ell^-$ in light of the available inputs from lattice and the data from LHCb. We fit the form-factors of this decay mode using the…

Quarkonium is the bound state of a heavy quark and its anti-quark counterpart. The study of this system has experienced a renaissance thanks to results from e+e- collider experiments, including discoveries of long-predicted conventional…
Low-lying $\Lambda$ baryons with spin 1/2 are analyzed in two-flavor unquenched lattice QCD. We construct $2 \times 2$ cross correlators from flavor SU(3) ``octet'' and ``singlet'' baryon operators, and diagonalize them so that we can…
The Belle-II experiment is expected to collect large data samples at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonances to study primarily $B$ and $B_s$ mesons. We discuss what other data above the $B\bar{B}$ threshold are of interest. We…
Recently, realistic lattice QCD calculations with 2+1 flavors of domain wall fermions and the Iwasaki gauge action have been performed by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations. Here, results for the bottomonium spectrum computed on their gauge…
It is experimentally observed that ratios of branching fractions for semitauonic and semileptonic $B$ decays, known as the $R(D^{(*)})$, are higher than Standard Model (SM) predictions. The $B \to \bar{D}^{(*)} \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ decays,…
