The quark dynamics inside light mesons, except pseudoscalar ones, can be quite well described by a spinless Salpeter equation supplemented by a Cornell interaction (possibly partly vector, partly scalar). A mass formula for these mesons can…
We use the Bethe-Salpeter equation in rainbow-ladder truncation to calculate the ground state mesons from the chiral limit to bottomonium, with an effective interaction that was previously fitted to the chiral condensate and pion decay…
The Bethe-Salpeter equation for three bosons with zero-range interaction is solved for the first time. For comparison the light-front equation is also solved. The input is the two-body scattering length and the outputs are the three-body…
Attention is paid to the production mechanisms of light scalars that reveal their nature. We reveal the chiral shielding of the \sigma(600) meson. We show that the kaon loop mechanism of the \phi radiative decays, ratified by experiment,…
Democracy among the same type of particles is a useful paradigm in studying masses and interactions of particles with supersymmetry(SUSY) or without SUSY. This simple idea predicts the presence of massless particles. We attempt to use one…
A new method for solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation is developed. It allows to find the Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes both in Minkowski and in Euclidean spaces and, as a by product, the light-front wave function. The method is valid for any…
In this work we devise a new method to study quark anti-quark interactions beyond simple ladder-exchange that yield massless pions in the chiral limit. The method is based on the requirement to have a representation of the quark-gluon…
We investigate the importance of final state interactions in weak nonleptonic hyperon decays within a relativistic chiral unitary approach based on coupled channels. The effective potentials for meson-baryon scattering are derived from a…
Exact discrete symmetries, if non-linearly realized, can reduce the ultraviolet sensitivity of a given theory. The scalars stemming from spontaneous symmetry breaking are massive without breaking the discrete symmetry, and those masses are…
We investigate non-linear extensions of the holographic soft wall model proposed by Karch, Katz, Son and Stephanov [1] including non-minimal couplings in the five-dimensional action. The non-minimal couplings bring a new parameter $a_0$…
We study light pseudoscalar and axial states using a soft wall model that is modified by introducing two extra parameters: an UV-cutoff and an anomalous term in the conformal dimension of the fields involved such that meson fields with…
We use quantum electrodynamics and the Bethe-Salpeter equation to calculate the bound state energies for a two-particle system comprised of a spin-0 and spin-1/2 particle. We generalize our treatment to include the finite size of the…
A bound state problem in a topologically massive quantum electrodynamics is investigated by using a non-perturbative method. We formulate the Bethe- Salpeter equation for scalar bound states composed of massive fermion and anti-fermion pair…
Binding energies calculated from using the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the simplest ladder approximation significantly differ from those obtained in the non-relativistic standard instantaneous approximation. While they should a priori be…
We study the interplay between spontaneously breaking global continuous and discrete antilinear symmetries in a newly proposed general class of non-Hermitian quantum field theories containing a mixture of complex and real scalar fields. We…
We study the phenomenology of a light (GeV scale) sterile neutrino sector and the pseudo-Goldstone boson (not the majoron) associated with a global symmetry in this sector that is broken at a high scale. Such scenarios can be motivated from…
Beyond the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking scale light and strange baryons should be considered as systems of three constituent quarks with an effective confining interaction and a chiral interaction that is mediated by the octet of…
We investigate the Bethe--Salpeter description of mesons in the limit where one of the constituing quarks is infinitely heavy. To recover the non--relativistic quark model out of the Bethe--Salpeter formalism it is usual to assume that the…
We examine the thermalization of an ensemble of the octet of pseudoscalar mesons, in the isospin symmetric limit, whose interactions are constrained through chiral symmetry, unitarity, and measurements. The reaction amplitudes generate all…
The Bethe-Salpeter equation for two-body bound system with spin $1/2$ constituent is addressed directly in the Minkowski space. In order to accomplish this aim we use the Nakanishi integral representation of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude and…
