A preliminary measurement of the second moments of the hadron mass in B --> X l nu decays by the BABAR Collaboration is reported. These measurements are performed as a function of the lepton momentum above a given threshold.
Some of the modifications that a thermal medium, of the type generated in heavy ion collision experiments at the LHC, may impose on the properties of hadrons, are reviewed. The focus is on hadrons containing at least one heavy quark (charm…
We investigate on exotic tetraquark hadrons of the kind [cs][cbar sbar] by computing their spectrum and decay modes within a constituent diquark-antidiquark model. We also compare these predictions with the present experimental knowledge.
The baryon-strangeness correlation in the hadronization of the quark matter is studied within the quark combination mechanism. We calculate the correlation coefficient $C_{BS} = -3\big(\langle B S \rangle -\langle B\rangle \langle…
The interaction of Lambda*=Lambda(1405) with a nucleon is studied from the viewpoint of chiral dynamics. We construct the coordinate space Lambda* N potential in the meson-exchange picture, which serves as a fundamental ingredient for the…
Slight sophistications of the QCD sum-rule formalism may have great impact on the reliability of predicted hadron observables, as exemplified for the case of heavy-meson decay constants.
The quark-hadron transition that happens in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is expected to be influenced by the effects of rotation and magnetic field, both present due to the geometry of a generic non-head-on impact. We augment the…
A next-to-leading log calculation of the reactions $pp$ and $p\overline{p}\rightarrow W^\pm\gamma X$ is presented including a tri-boson gauge coupling from non-Standard Model contributions. Two approaches are made for comparison. The first…
Top decays into a light Higgs boson and an up or charm quark can reach detectable levels in Standard Model extensions with two Higgs doublets or with new exotic quarks, and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Using both a standard…
The variation of kaon mass in dense, charge-neutral baryonic matter at beta-equilibrium has been investigated. The baryon interaction has been included by means of nonlinear Walecka model, with and without hyperons and the interaction of…
The application of fermion-boson symmetry to the standard model leads to the following: first, there are three generations of scalar quarks and scalar leptons in addition to the known quarks and leptons, and, secondly, the divergences in…
The calculation of the strangeness content of the nucleon and its experimental verification is a fundamental step in establishing non-perturbative QCD as the correct theory describing the structure of hadrons. It holds a role in QCD…
We present a detailed analysis of the heavy-to-light semileptonic decays of the Lambda_b and Lambda_c baryons Lambda_b -> p l- bar(nu)_l and Lambda_c -> n l+ nu_l in the covariant confined quark model. We calculate the invariant and…
During its long-lasting history, the $\Lambda(1405)$ has become a benchmark for our understanding of the $\rm SU(3)$ hadron dynamics. Starting with its theoretical prediction and later experimental verification, until the most recent…
One possible probe to physics beyond the standard model is to look for scalar bilinears, which couple to two fermions of the standard model. We point out that the scalar bilinears allow new diagrams contributing to the neutrinoless double…
We present results for hadrons containing a strange quark in quenched lattice QCD. We calculate masses and decay constants using 60 gauge configurations with an O(a)-improved fermion action at beta = 6.2. Using the rho mass to set the…
Phase diagrams of charged semi-hard-core bosons are studied in the mean field approximation. An increase in the parameter of local correlations is shown to lead to the transformation of the phase diagram of the system from the form…
The collider experiments at the Tevatron and the LHC provide us the possibility of probing the existence of a light charged Higgs boson. In this paper we study semi-leptonic decay of a polarized top quark via the charged Higgs boson…
A dynamically broken hadron supersymmetry appears to exist as a consequence of QCD. The reasons for the supersymmetry appear most transparently in the framework of the constituent quark model with a diquark approximation to two quarks.…
A new Hamiltonian model is introduced to study the spectrum of light hadrons. It combines relativistic field theory with elements of the constituent quark model. In addition to the standard linear confining and pseudoscalar meson exchange…
