We investigate the $\Lambda(1405,1/2^-)\equiv\Lambda^*$ photoproduction off the proton target, i.e. $\gamma p\to K^+\Lambda^*$, considering explicitly its two-pole structure, the higher ($\Lambda^*_H:\,1430\,\mathrm{MeV}$) and lower…
Baryon-baryon potentials are obtained from 3-flavor QCD simulations with the lattice volume L ~ 4 fm, the lattice spacing a ~ 0.12 fm, and the pseudo-scalar-meson mass M_ps =469 - 1171 MeV. The NN scattering phase shift and the mass of…
We discuss the dynamical generation of some low-lying $1/2^+$ $\Sigma$'s and $\Lambda$'s in two-meson one-baryon systems. These systems have been constructed by adding a pion in $S$-wave to the $\bar{K} N$ pair and its coupled channels,…
We identify a new spin-flavor entanglement structure in $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda D$ decays, formed by the correlation between the $\Lambda$ spin and the $D$ flavor states ($D=D^0,\overline D^0,D_1,D_2$). The entanglement information is encoded…
The decays of $B$ mesons to two-body hadronic final states are analyzed within the context of broken flavor SU(3) symmetry, extending a previous analysis involving pairs of light pseudoscalars to decays involving one or two charmed quarks…
The internal structure of the resonant Lambda(1405) state is investigated based on meson-baryon coupled-channels chiral dynamics, by evaluating density distributions obtained from the form factors of the Lambda(1405) state. The form factors…
Since the discovery of the $\Lambda(1405)$, it remains poorly described by conventional constituent quark models, and it is a candidate for having an "exotic" meson-baryon or "penta-quark" structure, similar to states recently reported in…
Two-body weak decays of bottom mesons into two pseudoscalar mesons are examined employing SU(3) flavor symmetry for the nonfactorizable matrix elements. Using certain measured Cabibo-favored modes, we fix the reduced matrix elements and…
The supersymmetric flavor problem is elegantly solved by the decoupling scenario, where the first-two generation sfermions are much heavier than the third generation ones. However, such a mass spectrum is not stable against renormalization…
We study an SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=8 degenerate flavors of light fermions in the fundamental representation. Using the domain wall fermion formulation, we investigate the light hadron spectrum, chiral condensate and electroweak S…
The hyperon-nucleon interaction with the strangeness $S=-1$ region is complicated and difficult to investigate because its flavor sector involves all the irreducible representation except the flavor singlet and has the worst signal-to-noise…
By virtue of SU(3) flavor symmetry, the effective interaction Hamiltonian is derived in tensor form. The strong and electromagnetic breaking effects are taken into account in a form of "spurion" octet, so that the systematical…
We study the singly charmed baryon two-body decays of $\mathbf{B}_c \rightarrow \mathbf{B}_D P$ under $SU(3)_{F}$ flavor symmetry, where ${\bf B}_{c}$ refers to anti-triplet singly charmed baryons, and ${\bf B}_{D}$ and $P$ denote decuplet…
We propose an extra-dimension framework on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ for understanding the origin of the fermion mass and mixing hierarchies. Introducing the flavor symmetry $G_F(=${\it non-Abelian}$\times${\it Abelian}) as well as the extra…
We investigate baryon-baryon interactions with strangeness $S=-2$ and isospin I=0 system from Lattice QCD. In order to solve this system, we prepare three types of baryon-baryon operators ($\Lambda-\Lambda$, $N-\Xi$ and $\Sigma-\Sigma$) for…
After an introduction on the peculiarities of flavor-physics measurements at a hadron collider, and on the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II), I show recent results on two-body B0 and B0s decays into charged, pseudo-scalar,…
We investigate baryon-baryon (BB) interactions in the 3-flavor full QCD simulations with degenerate quark masses for all flavors. The BB potentials in the orbital S-wave are extracted from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave functions measured on…
We propose a simple $U(2)$ model of flavor compatible with an $SU(5)$ GUT structure. All hierarchies in fermion masses and mixings arise from powers of two small parameters that control the $U(2)$ breaking. In contrast to previous $U(2)$…
We study the two-body anti-triplet charmed baryon decays based on the diagrammatic approach with $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. We extract the two $W$-exchange effects as $E_{\bf B}$ and $E^\prime$ that contribute to the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Xi^0…
We present the recent progress in the study on the origin of baryon resonances in chiral dynamics. It is shown that in the chiral coupled-channel approach, the form of the interaction cannot be specified due to the cutoff of the loop…
