Axial-vector mesons $a_1(1260)$, $f_1(1285)$, $h_1(1170)$, $K_1(1270)$, and $K_1(1400)$ can be produced in semileptonic $\tau\to A P \nu_{\tau}$ decays, where $P$ stands for the pseudoscalar mesons $\pi$ or $K$. We calculate the branching…
A model of light hybrid mesons and their strong decays is developed. The model employs a gluonic quasiparticle to describe low energy gluodynamics and uses the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge to guide the construction of states and decay…
Deep virtual vector meson leptoproduction at small $\xbj$ is analyzed in the framework of generalized parton distributions. It is shown that the inclusion of transverse degrees of freedom leads to reasonable agreement with the cross section…

Results for the light meson mass spectrum from a Bethe-Salpeter approach are presented. The results obtained in the standard framework are Poincar\'{e} covariant and compare favourably with lattice results. Using a more sophisticated…
We analyze the phenomenological implications of introducing vector-like leptons on the Higgs sector in the Higgs Triplet Model. We impose only a parity symmetry which disallows mixing between the new states and the ordinary leptons. If the…
Recent reports of the observation of the decay $\tau \rarrow \nu_{\tau} + K + \pi + \pi$ raise interesting questions. The $u-s$ quark mass difference can induce an effective second-class current in the strange sector and enhance decays to…

We discuss how to extract observables from an inhomogeneous vertex Bethe-Salpeter equation without resorting to the corresponding homogeneous equation. As an example we present a prediction for the $e^+e^-$ decay width of the $\rho(1450)$…
New physics can be light if it is hidden, coupling very weakly to the Standard Model. In this work we investigate the discovery prospects of Abelian hidden sectors in lower-energy fixed-target and high-precision experiments. We focus on a…
As a first step towards a realistic phenomenological description of vector and axial-vector mesons in nuclear matter, we calculate the spectral functions of the $\rho$ and the $a_1$ meson in a chiral baryon-meson model as a low-energy…
The contributions of one-loop diagrams with dynamical vector mesons to masses and decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons are determined. Hereby, a relativistic Lagrangian for both the pseudoscalar-meson octet and the vector-meson nonet is…
We revisit well-known short-distance constraints relating the hadronic light-by light Green's function to the $\langle VVA \rangle$ one, that have been a subject of debate over the past years in the context of the muon $(g-2)$.…
In this paper, we study the spectrum and decay behavior of $5^{++}$ meson family which is still missing in experiment. By the modified Godfrey-Isgur model with a color screening effect, we obtain the mass spectrum of $a_5$, $f_5$ and…
