We present a method of calculating the bottonium mass M[Upsilon(1S)] = [2 mb + E(b barb)]. The binding energy is separated into the soft and ultrasoft components E(b barb)=[E(s)+E(us)] by requiring the reproduction of the correct residue…

This paper proposes a novel mechanism based on the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter (Salpeter) equation for investigating wave function mixing in vector mesons such as $\psi(3770)$. Conventional theories typically treat $\psi(3770)$ as a…

$\pi^+\pi^-$ transitions of heavy quarkonia, especially the $ \Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decay process, are revisited. In the framework of the Chiral Unitary Theory (ChUT), the $S$ wave $\pi\pi$ final state interaction (FSI) is…

We re-calculate the exclusive semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of $B_c$ meson to a $P$-wave charmonium in terms of the improved Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) approach, which is developed recently. Here the widths for the exclusive semileptonic…

In this paper, we calculate the decay widths and branching fractions for the decays $Z \to H+ \gamma$ up to ${\cal O}(\alpha_{s} v^2)$ accuracy within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, where $H$ stands for the $S$-wave quarkonium…

The di-electron width of an Upsilon meson is the decay rate of the Upsilon into an electron-positron pair, expressed in units of energy. We measure the di-electron width of the Upsilon(1S) meson to be 1.354 +- 0.004 +- 0.020 keV (the first…

We study relativistic corrections in exclusive $S$-wave charmonium decays into proton-antiproton final state. We calculate the NRQCD corrections to the dominant decay amplitude, which depend on the nucleon twist-3 light-cone distribution…

We study nonleptonic decays of the orbitally excited, \su6 \rep{70}-plet baryons in order to test the hypothesis that the successes of the nonrelativistic quark model have a natural explanation in the large-$N_c$ limit of QCD. By working in…

Differential production cross sections of J/$\psi$ and $\psi$(2S) charmonium and $\Upsilon$(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) bottomonium states are measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, with data collected by the CMS detector at the…

Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon(1S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency of this expansion is shown both at low and high…

Two- and three-body decays of $\Upsilon (5S)$ into $BB, $$ BB^*, $ $ B^*B^*,$ $ B_sB_s, $ $B_sB_s^*, $ $B_s^* B_s^*$ and $BB^*\pi, B^*B^*\pi$ are evaluated using the theory, developed earlier for dipion bottomonium transitions. The theory…

The decreasing uncertainties in theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of several hadronic observables related to weak processes, which in many cases are now smaller than $\mathrm{O}(1\%)$, require theoretical calculations to…
