In this study, we investigate the mass spectrum of the $\Omega\bar{\Omega}$ states with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$, $1^{--}$, $0^{++}$, and $1^{++}$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. Employing suitably constructed interpolating…
We present a study of ten B-meson decays to a D(*), a proton-antiproton pair, and a system of up to two pions using BaBar's data set of 455x10^6 BBbar pairs. Four of the modes (B0bar -> D0 p anti-p, B0bar -> D*0 p anti-p, B0bar -> D+ p…
The Standard Model of Particle Physics predicts the double-$\beta$ decay of certain nuclei with the emission of two active neutrinos. In this letter, we argue that double-$\beta$ decay experiments could be used to probe models with light…

We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
The primary motivation of the GlueX experiment is to search for and ultimately study the pattern of gluonic excitations in the meson spectrum produced in gamma p collisions. Recent lattice QCD calculations predict a rich spectrum of hybrid…

It is proposed that meson resonances are linear combinations of q-qbar and meson-meson (MM); baryon resonances are combinations of qqq and meson-baryon (MB). Mixing between these combinations arises via decays of confined states to…
The properties of light vector mesons near 2.2 GeV remain poorly understood, impeding progress in mapping the higher-lying hadronic spectrum. Utilizing the newly released BESIII data on the Born cross sections for the process of $e^+ e^-…
