Muon colliders offer special opportunities to discover and study new physics. With the high intensity source of muons at the front end, orders of magnitude improvements would be realized in searches for rare muon processes, in deep…
We calculate the physical mass and the width of the sigma meson by considering that it couples in vacuum to two virtual pions. The mass is calculated by using the spectral function, and we find that it is about 600MeV. In addition, we…
A complete analysis is given of the implications of the empirical indications for a positive strangeness magnetic moment $\mu_s$ of the proton on the possible configurations of the $uuds\bar s$ component of the proton. A positive value for…
Over the past two decades, meson photo- and electro-production data of unprecedented quality and quantity have been measured at electromagnetic facilities worldwide. By contrast, the meson-beam data for the same hadronic final states are…
The baryon-number density formed in relativistic nuclear collisions, versus the chemical potential of the freeze-out states, is systematically studied on the basis of existing measurements. A remarkable power-law behaviour of the…
We have performed a thorough study of the meson-meson S-waves with isospin (I) 0 and 1/2, up to sqrt(s) ~ 2 GeV. This is the first study that includes 13 channels that have their threshold below that energy. All the resonances below 2 GeV,…
Recent experimental results on muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment have shown a $4.2\sigma$ tension with the SM prediction, which has blown a fresh wind into the elementary particle physics community. The problem is believed to be…
We analyze the implications of a Higgs discovery on possible ``new-physics'' scenarios, for $m_H$ up to $\sim 700$ GeV. For this purpose we critically review lower and upper limits on the Higgs mass in the SM and in the MSSM, respectively.…
We consider production of overall neutral pairs consisting of heavy $D^{(*)}$ or $B^{(*)}$ meson and antimeson in the processes, where the pair can be created in an $S$-wave, such as $e^+e^- \to \pi^0 \, D^* \bar D^{(*)}$ and $e^+e^- \to…

Results are presented of the spin-parity analysis on a sample of centrally produced mesons in the reaction (p p -> p_{slow} K_s K_s p_{fast}) with 800 GeV protons on liquid hydrogen. The spin-parity analysis in the mass region between…
Meson-baryon interactions are the fundamental building blocks to study the structures of baryon resonances and meson properties in few-body nuclear systems. We review the recent progress in the investigation of the meson-baryon interaction…
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the OPAL detector at LEP was reported. The analysis was based on the full data sample collected at center-of-mass energies of 192-209 GeV in 1999 and 2000, corresponding to an integrated…
The most recently available results from searches conducted by the four LEP experiments at 189 GeV center-of-mass energy for Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) are presented. No evidence for a signal has been…
A recent paper [2109.02650] accumulates evidence for a new fundamental particle by combining several CMS and ATLAS searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson. The putative particle is a neutral scalar, $S$, with a mass of about 151 GeV.…

The mass of the $\Omega^0_c$ baryon with quark content (ssc) is computed in a potential model whose parameters have been determined in 1981 by fitting the spectrum of heavy mesons. It is found in perfect agreement with a recent measurement…
The status of light I=0, J^{PC}=2^{++} and 0^{++} mesons is discussed, particularly the separation of n-nbar and s-sbar states. They fall into a simple scheme except for f_2(1810). A case is made that this has been confused with the…
The strong decays of the $5^1S_0$ $q\bar{q}$ states are evaluated in the $^3P_0$ model with two types of space wave functions. Comparing the model expectations with the experimental data for the $\pi(2360)$, $\eta(2320)$, $X(2370)$, and…
If the Higgs is produced with a large enough cross section in the {\em exclusive} reaction $p + \bar{p} \to p + H + \bar{p}$ it will give rise to a peak at $M_H$ in the {\em missing mass} ($MM$) spectrum, calculated from the 4-momenta of…
