We investigate low-energy $N\phi$ scattering driven by a pole-enhanced triangle-like diagram, in which the two-Kaon-exchange contribution is promoted by the near-threshold $\Lambda(1405)$ pole in the $N\bar K$ subsystem. Using an unphysical…

The two-photon-exchange (TPE) contribution in $ep\rightarrow ep\pi ^0$ with $W=M_{\Delta}$ and small $Q^2$ is calculated and its corrections to the ratios of electromagnetic transition form factors $R_{EM} = E_{1+}^{(3/2)}/M_{1+}^{(3/2)} $…

Non-leptonic kaon decays are often described through an effective chiral weak Hamiltonian, whose couplings ("low-energy constants") encode all non-perturbative QCD physics. It has recently been suggested that these low-energy constants…

Exclusive nonleptonic decays of bottom and charm baryons are studied within a relativistic three-quark model with a Gaussian shape for the momentum dependence of the baryon-three-quark vertex. We include factorizing as well as…

Neutrinoless double beta decay, if detected, would prove that neutrinos are Majorana fermions and provide the direct evidence for lepton number violation. If such decay would exist in nature, then $\pi^-\pi^-\to ee$ and $\pi^-\to\pi^+ ee$…

We first review the current algebra - PCAC approach to nonleptonic octet baryon 14 weak decay B (\to) (B^{\prime})(\pi) amplitudes. The needed four parameters are independently determined by (\Omega \to \Xi \pi),(\Lambda K) and (\Xi ^{-}\to…

We use the Mellin-Barnes representation in order to improve the theoretical estimate of mass corrections to the width of light pseudoscalar meson decays into a lepton pair, $P\to l^{+}l^{-}$ . The full resummation of the terms…

Non-mesonic decay of kaonic nuclei is investigated under a Lambda(1405) doorway picture where the Kbar absorptions in nuclei take place through the Lambda(1405) resonance. Calculating Lambda(1405) N to YN transitions in one-meson exchange,…

We calculate the shape of the $\pi\Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ invariant mass distributions in the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi\, \pi\Sigma$ and $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi \,\bar K N$ decays that are dominated by the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. The weak…

We study the two-body anti-triplet charmed baryon decays based on the diagrammatic approach with $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. We extract the two $W$-exchange effects as $E_{\bf B}$ and $E^\prime$ that contribute to the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Xi^0…
