A model of hybrid meson structure based on the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge and the use of a single constituent quasigluon is applied compute hadronic decays of mesons with exotic quantum numbers, $0^{+-}$ and $2^{+-}$. These correspond…

We propose to measure the $\tau^-\to K_1^-\nu_\tau \to (K^-\omega) \nu_\tau\to (K^- \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)\nu_\tau $ decay in order to determine the $K_1$ axial vector mixing angle $\theta_{K_1}$. We derive, for the first time, the differential…

We re-investigate the exclusive decays of $\eta_c$ and $\eta_c^\prime$ to a pair of light vector mesons, i.e. $\eta_c (\eta_c')\to VV$. The long-distance intermediate meson loop (IML) effects are evaluated as a non-perturbative mechanism in…

Isospin is an almost exact symmetry of strong interactions and the corrections to the isosymmetric limit are, in general, at the percent level. For several hadronic quantities relevant for flavour physics phenomenology, such as pseudoscalar…
