A model of hybrid meson structure based on the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge and the use of a single constituent quasigluon is applied compute hadronic decays of mesons with exotic quantum numbers, $0^{+-}$ and $2^{+-}$. These correspond…
The dilepton final states, e+e- and mu+mu-, are the most clear channels for new heavy neutral resonances search. Their advantage is that the main irreducible background from the Standard Model Drell-Yan process contributes usually two…
Inclusive and exclusive production of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons via gluon-gluon fusion is considered. A new experimental test is proposed, which can probe the polarization state of the gluons in exclusive production processes and check…
