We consider the condensate of $q$-deformed bosons as a model of dark matter. Our observations demonstrate that for all $q$ values, the system condenses below a $q$-dependent critical temperature $T^{q}_c$. The critical temperature…
A holographic model for QCD is employed to investigate the effects of the gluon condensate on the spectrum and melting of scalar mesons. We find the evolution of the free energy density with the temperature, and the result shows that the…

The radially excited pseudoscalar state $\eta(1295)$ is still poorly understood [as well as its $SU(3)$ partners $\pi(1300)$ and $K(1460 )$] and we want to attract attention experimenters to its comprehensive study. As for the main…
