In this work, we perform a QCD sum rules analysis on the $\Xi_{Q}-\Xi_{Q}^{\prime}$ mixing. Contributions from up to dimension-6 four-quark operators are considered. However, it turns out that, only dimension-4 and dimension-5 operators…

We develop an improved method to explore the $\Xi_c- \Xi_c'$ mixing which arises from the flavor SU(3) and heavy quark symmetry breaking. In this method, the flavor eigenstates under the SU(3) symmetry are at first constructed and the…

In heavy quark limit, the lowest-lying charmed baryons with two light quarks can form an SU(3) triplet and sextet. The $\Xi_c$ in the SU(3) triplet and $\Xi_c'$ in the sextet have the same $J^{PC}$ quantum number and can mix due to the…

We study SU(3)-breaking effects in the neutral B_d-\bar B_d and B_s-\bar B_s systems with unquenched N_f=2+1 lattice QCD. We calculate the relevant matrix elements on the MILC collaboration's gauge configurations with asqtad-improved…

We investigate the $K_1(1270)-K_1(1400)$ mixing caused by the flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry breaking. The mixing angle is expressed by a $K_{1A}\to K_{1B}$ matrix element induced by the operators that breaks flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry. The QCD…

Mixing in the $\Sigma^0$-$\Lambda^0$ system is a direct consequence of broken isospin symmetry and is a measure of both isospin-symmetry breaking as well as general SU(3)-flavour symmetry breaking. In this work we present a new scheme for…

We present the analysis of exclusive $0^{-}$$\to$$0^{-}$ semileptonic heavy meson decays using the constituent quark model based on the light-front quantization. Our model is constrained by the variational principle for the well-known…
