We study the production and decay of the neutral top-pion $\pi_{t}^{0}$ predicted by topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) theory. Our results show that, except the dominant decay modes $b\bar{b}$, $\bar{t}c$ and $gg$, the $\pi_{t}^{0}$ can…
The purpose of this work is to do a systematic feasibility study of measuring in backward region deeply virtual Compton scattering on the pion in Sullivan processes in the framework of collinear QCD factorization where pion to photon…
The final state interaction contribution to $D^+$ decays is computed for the $K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ channel within a light-front relativistic three-body model for the final state interaction. The rescattering process between the kaon and two pions…
A method is explained through which a pointwise accurate approximation to the pion's valence-quark distribution amplitude (PDA) may be obtained from a limited number of moments. In connection with the single nontrivial moment accessible in…
We investigate the fate of dissipative phase transitions in quantum many-body systems when the individual constituents are qudits ($d$-level systems) instead of qubits. As an example system, we employ a permutation-invariant $XY$ model of…
The dichotomy of the pion as QCD's Goldstone mode and a bound state of massive constituents is easily understood using the Dyson-Schwinger equations. That provides the foundation for an efficacious phenomenology, which correlates the pion's…
Analyses of the pion valence-quark distribution function (DF), ${u}^\pi(x;\zeta)$, which explicitly incorporate the behaviour of the pion wave function prescribed by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), predict ${u}^\pi(x\simeq 1;\zeta) \sim…
The effect of isoscalar S-wave multi-channel pion-pion scattering ($\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\bar{K},\eta\eta$) is considered in the analysis of data on decays of the $\Upsilon$-meson family -- $\Upsilon(2S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi\pi$,…
We discuss a dynamical mechanism of pion production from disoriented chiral condensates (DCC). It leads to an explosive production of pions via the parametric amplification mechanism, which is similar to the reheating mechanism in…
The dependence of K_{S,L}->\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\gamma decay probabilities on photon polarization is calculated. The phases of terms of amplitude that arise from the pion-pion interaction are obtained by using a simple realistic model of pion-pion…
Using a soft pion theorem based on chiral symmetry and a $\Delta(1232)$ resonance model we propose an estimate for the production cross section of low energy pions in the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) process. In particular, we…
We consider the two-pion decay of the $\rho$-meson, the $^3S_1q\bar q$-state of the constituent quarks -- the decay being determined by the transition $q\bar q\to \pi\pi$ contains information about confinement interactions. One can specify…
The transition amplitude of a kaon to a pion and two off-shell photons is studied. First, it is computed at leading order (one-loop level) of the Chiral Perturbation Theory expansion. Explicit analytical results for the leading-order…
We investigate the properties of QCD at finite isospin chemical potential at zero and non-zero temperatures. This theory is not affected by the sign problem and can be simulated using Monte-Carlo techniques. With increasing isospin chemical…
Following Polchinski and Strassler [1] and our previous work [2], we study high-energy pion scattering in the holographic QCD hard-wall model. In particular, we focus on comparing our predictions for the angular dependence of $\pi^{+}…
In the present work, we investigate the dipion transitions between $\Upsilon(5S)$ and $\Upsilon_J(1D)$ with $J=1, 2, 3$. Our analysis indicates that the dominant sources of the anomalously large widths of $\Upsilon(5S)\to \Upsilon_J(1D)…
The pion distribution amplitude (DA) can be related to the fundamental QCD Green's functions as a function of the quark self-energy and the quark-pion vertex, which in turn are associated with the pion wave function through the…
The QCD evolution of the pion distribution amplitude (DA) $\phi_\pi(x,Q^2)$ is computed for several commonly used models. Our analysis includes the nonperturbative form predicted by light-front holographic QCD, thus combining the…
We investigate the exclusive two-pion production at the $Z$-pole through the process $e^+e^-\to Z \to \pi\pi \gamma$. In the kinematical region where the invariant mass of the two pions is much smaller than the mass of the $Z$ boson, the…
We employ a chiral effective field theory-based approach to connect $DD^*$ scattering observables at the physical and variable pion masses accessible in lattice QCD simulations. We incorporate all relevant scales associated with three-body…
