Massive fermions produced through weak charged interactions possess a definite chirality, which is not conserved during free propagation, leading to chiral oscillations. Neutrinos also exhibit flavor oscillations. These phenomena have been…
In the case of three quark flavors, (pseudo)scalar diquarks transform as antiquarks under chiral transformations. We construct four spin-1/2 baryonic multiplets from left- and right-handed quarks as well as left- and right-handed diquarks.…

We present a first calculation of the heavy flavor contribution to the longitudinally polarized DIS structure function $g_1$, differential in the transverse momentum or the rapidity of the observed heavy antiquark $\overline{Q}$. All…
Neutrino flavor oscillations are discussed in terms of two coupled Dirac fields. The interacting Lagrangian is diagonalized to obtain the exact eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Flavor wave functions are then derived directly from the…
We study the two-color QCD matter within two fundamental quark flavors via both chiral perturbation theory and Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model methods. The effective Lagrangian described by low lying meson and baryon, i.e., diquark, is derived,…

Overlap fermions are a powerful tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of the vacuum and the thermal states of QCD. We study various chiral and topological aspects of the finite temperature phase transition of N_f=2…

We present a diagrammatic analysis of baryons in the $1/N$ expansion, where $N$ is the number of QCD colors. We use this method to show that there are an infinite number of degenerate baryon states in the large-$N$ limit. We also show that…
We propose a way to differentiate between various extra $U(1)$ models using flavor tagging in the decay modes $Z^{\prime}\rightarrow q{\bar{q}}$ once the extra $Z^{\prime}$ is observed at future colliders in the lepton channel. A…
