We present a calculation of the decays $\eta^{(')}\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma^{(\ast)}$ at the one-loop level up to and including next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in large-$N_c$ chiral perturbation theory. The numerical evaluation of the…

We provide model-independent bounds on the rates of rare decays $\eta (\eta^\prime) \to \pi\pi$ based on experimental limits on the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM). Starting from phenomenological $\eta(\eta^\prime) \pi\pi$ couplings,…

A search for proton decay into $e^+/\mu^+$ and a $\eta$ meson has been performed using data from a 0.373 Mton$\cdot$year exposure (6050.3 live days) of Super-Kamiokande. Compared to previous searches this work introduces an improved model…

The rare $\pi^0 \to e^+e^-$ and $\eta \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decays are calculated in different schemes, which are seen to be essentially equivalent to and produce the same results as conventional Vector-Meson Dominance. We obtain the theoretical…

We report measurements of the observed cross sections for $e^+e^-\to\omega \pi^+\pi^-$, $\omega K^+K^-$, $\omega p\bar p$, $K^+K^-\rho^0\pi^0$, $K^+K^-\rho^+\pi^-+c.c.$, $K^{*0}K^-\pi^+\pi^0+c.c.$, $K^{*+}K^-\pi^+\pi^-+c.c.$,…

The $e^+e^- \to \eta\pi^+\pi^-$ cross section is measured at the SND detector in the $\eta$ decay mode $\eta\to 3\pi^0$. The analysis is based on the data sample with an integrated luminosity of 32.7 pb$^{-1}$ collected at the VEPP-2000…

Azimuthal distributions of $\eta$ and $\pi^{0}$ mesons emitted at midrapidity in collisions of 1.9 AGeV $^{58}$Ni+$^{58}$Ni and 2 AGeV $^{40}$Ca+$^{nat}$Ca are studied as a function of the number of projectile-like spectator nucleons. The…

Based on a data sample of 10 billion $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, improved measurements of the Dalitz decays $\eta/\eta'\rightarrow\gamma e^+e^-$ are performed, where the $\eta$ and $\eta'$ are produced through the…

Two-photon annihilate contributions in the process $e^+ + e^- \to p + \bar{p}$ including $N$ and $\Delta$ intermediate are discussed in a simple hadronic model. The corrections to the unpolarized cross section and polarized observables…

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…

We report corrected results on a study of the electromagnetic Dalitz decay $J/\psi \to e^+e^- \eta$ and search for di-electron decays of a light dark gauge boson ($\gamma'$) in $J/\psi \to \gamma' \eta$ with the two $\eta$ decay modes $\eta…

It has been controversial whether $\eta_b$ can be discovered in Tevatron Run 2 through the decay $\eta_b\to J/\psi J/\psi$ followed by $J/\psi\to \mu^+\mu^-$. We clear this controversy by an explicit calculation which predicts ${\rm…

Electron-positron annihilation largely occurs in local thermal and chemical equilibrium after the neutrinos fall out of thermal equilibrium and during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch. The effects of this process are evident in BBN…

We are aiming to study the $J/\psi \to p\bar{p}\eta'$ decay in an isobar model and the effective Lagrangian approach. After a careful exploration of the contributions of the $S_{11}(1535)$, $P_{11}(1710)$, $P_{13}(1900)$, $S_{11}(2090)$ and…

The $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ mixing angle is deduced from an updated phenomenological analysis of $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. Corrections due to non-ideal $\omega$-$\phi$ mixing are confirmed to be crucial to find…

Since the eta meson is a short-lived neutral particle, it is not possible to investigate its structure via classical methods of particle scattering. To learn about its quark wave function, one studies those decay processes of this meson in…

Processes of electron-positron annihilation into charged pions and kaons are considered. Radiative corrections are taken into account exactly in the first order and within the leading logarithmic approximation in higher orders. A combined…
