We measured a set of $\pi^\pm\Sigma^\mp$, $\pi^0\Sigma^0$, and $\pi^-\Sigma^0$ invariant mass spectra below and above the $\bar{K}N$ mass threshold in $K^-$-induced reactions on deuteron. We deduced the $S$-wave…

We investigate flavor physics at present and future B factories in order to distinguish supersymmetric models. We evaluate CP asymmetries in various B decay modes, Delta M(Bd), Delta M(Bs), and epsilon_K in three supersymmetric models, i.e.…
Low-lying $\Lambda$ baryons with spin 1/2 are analyzed in full (unquenched) lattice QCD. We construct $2 \times 2$ cross correlators from flavor SU(3) "octet" and "singlet" baryon operators, and diagonalize them so as to extract information…
We develop perturbative QCD factorization theorems for the exclusive semileptonic heavy baryon decay $\Lambda_b \to pl{\bar\nu}$, in which the relevant hadronic form factor is expressed as the convolution of a hard subamplitude with the…
We study flavor violating processes in the production or decay of a neutral pseudoscalar meson $P^0$ in the framework of a general two Higgs Doublet Model type III (2HDM-III). We use a version of the model where Yukawa interactions of…
We consider an extended gauge group for the electroweak interaction: SU(2)_1 \times SU(2)_2 \times U(1)_Y where the first and second generations of fermions couple to SU(2)_1 while the third generation couples to SU(2)_2. Bounds based on…
The extension of chiral theories to the description of resonances, via the incorporation of unitarity in coupled channels, has provided us with a new theoretical perspective on the nature of some of the observed excited hadrons. In this…
In this paper we propose 4d and 3d dualities among special unitary gauge theories with fundamentals and antisymmetric flavors and symplectic or orthogonal gauge theories with fundamentals and two index tensor matter. The various dualities…
We discuss the mechanisms that lead to $\Lambda(1405)$ production in the $\pi^-p\to K^0\pi\Sigma$ reaction. The problem has gained renewed interest after different works converge to the conclusion that there are two resonances around the…
We evaluate the $\pi N!N$, $\pi\Sigma\Sigma$, $\pi\Lambda\Sigma$, $K\Lambda N$ and $K \Sigma N $ coupling constants and the corresponding monopole masses in lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks. The parameters representing the…
A determination of the spin and parity of the $\Lambda(1405)$ is presented using photoproduction data from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. The reaction $\gamma + p \to K^+ + \Lambda(1405)$ is analyzed in the decay channel $\Lambda(1405)…
There are strong similarities between charge-parity (CP) violating observables in hadronic $B$ decays (in particular $\Delta A^-_{\rm CP}$ in $B\to K\pi$) and direct CP violation in Kaon decays ($\epsilon^\prime$): All these observables are…
We propose a new model for describing baryon semi-leptonic decays for estimating $F$ and $D$ values with explicit breaking effects of both SU(3) and SU(2) flavor symmetry, where all possible SU(3) and SU(2) breaking effects are induced from…
The flavor SU(3) group structure of pentaquark baryons which form $\bm{1}$, $\bm{8}$, $\bm{10}$, $\bar{\bm{10}}$, $\bm{27}$, and $\bm{35}$ multiplets is investigated in quark model. The flavor wave functions of all the pentaquark baryons…
We present first results for two-baryon correlation functions, computed using $N_f=2$ flavours of O($a$) improved Wilson quarks, with the aim of explaining potential dibaryon bound states, specifically the H-dibaryon. In particular, we use…
The heavy-quark expansion for inclusive semi-leptonic B decays introduces $\bar{\Lambda}$ and $\lambda_1$, which are matrix elements in heavy-quark effective field theory. We review how they can be obtained from an analysis of the heavy…
Employing the spin-flavor representation, we investigate the structures of the doubler-mixing symmetries and the mechanisms of their spontaneous breakdown in four types of lattice fermion formulation. We first revisit the $U(4)\timesU(4)A$…
Sea quark contents of the octet baryons are investigated by employing an extended chiral constituent quark approach, which embodies higher Fock five-quark components in the baryons wave-functions. The well-known flavor asymmetry of the…
