We present a precise lattice QCD calculation of the contribution to the neutron-proton mass splitting arising from strong isospin breaking, $m_n-m_p|_{QCD}=2.32\pm0.17$ MeV. We also determine $m_{\Xi^-} - m_{\Xi^0}|_{QCD} = 5.44\pm0.31$…
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we investigate a nucleon mass splitting and nucleon-pion coupling in the isospin medium. We find that there exists a nucleon mass splitting which is exactly given by the half of the meson mass splitting…
We look at the mass distribution of the $D_s^+ \pi^-$ in the $B^0 \to \bar{D}^0 D_s^+ \pi^-$ decay, where a peak has been observed in the region of the $D^*_s \rho$, $D^* K^*$ thresholds. By creating these two channels together with a…
Present precision measurements of the neutron life time lead to a CKM matrix element $|V_{ud}|$ which is three standard deviations off the value inferred from heavy quark decays etc. We investigate the possibility whether isospin-breaking…
Baryons and cold dark matter (CDM) did not comove prior to recombination. This leads to differences in the local baryon and CDM densities, the so-called baryon-CDM isocurvature perturbations $\delta_{bc}$. These perturbations are usually…
The isospin splitting of the nucleon mean field is derived from the Brueckner theory extended to asymmetric nuclear matter. The Argonne V18 has been adopted as bare interaction in combination with a microscopic three body force. The isospin…
The momentum and isospin dependence of the in-medium nucleon mass are studied. Two definitions of the effective mass, i.e. the Dirac mass $m^*_D$ and the nonrelativistic mass $m^*_{NR}$ which parameterizes the energy spectrum, are compared.…
We analyze the semileptonic weak decays of the octet baryons in a "{\em model independent}" approach, based on the algebraic structure of the Chiral Quark-Soliton Model. We argue that this analysis is in fact more general than the model…
We develope the holographic mean field theory approach in a bottom-up holographic QCD model including baryons and scalar mesons in addition to vector mesons and pions. We study the effect of parity doubling structure of baryons at non-zero…
With an effective Lagrangian approach, we analyze several NN \to NN\pi\pi channels by including various resonances with mass up to 1.72 GeV. For the channels with the pion pair of isospin zero, we confirm the dominance of N*(1440)\to…
We investigate the role of the softening of the scalar-isoscalar (sigma) meson in the $\eta\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ and $3\pi^0$ decay widths in the symmetric nuclear medium using a linear sigma model. Our calculation shows that these…
It is known that the decay process \eta\rightarrow\pi^0\pi^+\pi^- in free space is possible due to the isospin-symmetry breaking in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), i.e., the small mass difference between u and d quarks: The small width is…
The process of pion axioproduction, $aN\to\pi N$, with an intermediate $\Delta$ resonance is analyzed using baryon chiral parturbation theory. The $\Delta$ resonance is included in two ways: First, deriving the $a\Delta N$-vertices, the…
