We determine the finite-volume corrections to the spectrum and matrix elements of two-hadron states in a moving frame, i.e. one in which the total momentum of the two-hadrons is non-zero. The analysis is performed entirely within field…
Starting in 2001, the MILC Collaboration began a large scale calculation of heavy-light meson decay constants using clover valence quarks on ensembles of three flavor configurations. For the coarse configurations, with a=0.12 fm, eight…
We present a high statistics study of the D- and B-meson decay constants. The results were obtained by using the Clover and Wilson lattice actions at two different values of the lattice spacing $a$, corresponding to $\beta=6.0$ and 6.2.…
At small lattice spacing, or when using overlap fermions, lattice QCD simulations tend to become stuck in a single topological sector. Physical observables, e.g.\ hadron masses, then differ from their full QCD counterparts by $1/V$…
By extending the mean-field Hamiltonian to include nonhermitian operators, the master equations for fermions and bosons can be derived. The derived equations reduce to the Markoff master equation in the low-density limit and to the…
The heavy fourth generation of quarks that have sufficiently small mixing with the three known SM families form hadrons. In the present work, we calculate the masses and decay constants of mesons containing either both quarks from the…
We present a progress report on our calculation of the decay constants $f_B$ and $f_{B_s}$ from lattice-QCD simulations with highly-improved staggered quarks. Simulations are carried out with several heavy valence-quark masses on…
The Field-Transformation Hybrid Monte-Carlo (FTHMC) algorithm potentially mitigates the issue of critical slowing down by combining the HMC with a field transformation, originally proposed by L\"{u}scher and motivated as trivializing the…
We present intermediate results on our ongoing investigation concerning semileptonic decays of heavy pseudoscalar mesons into pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The corresponding formfactors are evaluated at several momenta and appropriate…
Spacetime variations of physical constants can be associated with the existence of Higgs-like scalar field(s) that couple non-universally to the baryonic matter. Recent results of astronomical spectral measurements of the fractional changes…
Current status of the computation of the neutral B-meson mixing amplitudes, with particular attention to the heavy-light meson decay constants, is reviewed. The values for these quantities, as well as for the coupling of the pion to the…

We present a relativistic constituent quark model to analyze the mass spectrum and hadronic properties of radially excited u and d quark sector mesons. Using a simple Gaussian function as a trial wave function for the variational principle…
We present the determination of the light quark masses using electromagnetic splittings of pions and kaons. The meson masses are calculated on $SU(3)\times U(1)$ gauge configurations, where SU(3) gauge fields include sea quark effects of…
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…
In this paper the dynamical spin effects of the light-front holographic wavefunctions for light pseudoscalar mesons are studied using two different assumptions. These improved wavefunctions are then confronted with a number of sensitive…
The covariant propagator of a fermion with intrinsic magnetic moment interacting with a uniform external magnetic field is presented for finite temperature and baryonic density. The case of a scalar boson is also considered. The final…
It is well known that New Physics can contribute to weak decays of heavy mesons via virtual processes during its decays. The discovery of New Physics, using such decays is made difficult due to intractable strong interaction effects needed…
We employ the variational method to study the properties such as masses, decay constants, oscillation frequency and branching ratios of leptonic decays of heavy flavour mesons with linear cum coulomb Cornell potential. Gaussian function,…
A visible improvement of the QCD sum-rule framework, achieved only recently by a slightly more sophisticated consideration of the hadron excitations and continuum, is applied to the extraction of the decay constants of heavy-light…
