In an extension of the Standard Model with one compact extra dimension and N=1 supersymmetry, we compute the Higgs boson decay rate into two gluons, relevant to the Higgs production in hadronic collisions. We find that at one loop the decay…
We use a modified version of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model which implements the QCD trace anomaly to calculate the two photons decay width of the glueball (f_0(1500)) and of the two scalar mesons (f_0(1370), f_{J=0}(1710)) to which it is…
We discuss recent results on the calculation of glueball decay rates in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, which favor the $f_0(1710)$ meson as a glueball candidate. The flavor asymmetric decay of $f_0(1710)$ is frequently attributed to a…
