We study the phenomenology of the ground-state (pseudo-)scalar charmonia $\eta_c$ and $\chi_{c0}$ in the framework of a $U(4)_r \times U(4)_l$ symmetric linear sigma model with (pseudo-)scalar and (axial-) vector mesons. Based on previous…
Using data accumulated with the CLEO detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.46 1/pb on the peak of the psi(2S) and 20.46 1/pb at E_CM=3.67 GeV, we report preliminary branching fraction measurements for seven new decay modes…
We search for the semi-leptonic decays $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda \pi^+ \pi^- e^+ \nu_e$ and $\Lambda_c^+ \to p K_S^0 \pi^- e^+ \nu_e$ in a sample of 4.5 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data collected in the center-of-mass…
The vector meson strong decays rho-->pi pi, phi-->KK, and K^star-->pi K are studied within a covariant approach based on the ladder-rainbow truncation of the QCD Dyson--Schwinger equation for the quark propagator and the Bethe--Salpeter…
Leptonic decay widths and leptonic decay constants of light vector mesons and weak leptonic decay widths and weak decay constants of light and heavy pseudoscalar mesons have been studied in a field- theoretic framework based on the…
A $\Sigma^*$ state with spin-parity $J^P = 1/2^-$ with mass and width around $1380$ MeV and $120$ MeV, refereed to as the $\Sigma^*_{1/2^-}(1380)$, has been predicted in several pentaquark models and inferred from the analysis of CLAS…
Various phenomenological studies indicate that the mixing angle $\theta_{K_1}$ of $K_{1A}$ and $K_{1B}$, the strange partners of the axial-vector mesons $a_1(1260)$ and $b_1(1235)$, respectively, lies in the vicinity of $35^\circ$ or…
We study the semileptonic decay of its SU(3) partner, the $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ ($\ell = e, \mu$) transition, within the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules (LCSR) by using the distribution amplitudes of heavy…
We summarize recently improved results for the pseudoscalar [1,2] and vector [3] meson decay constants and their ratios from QCD spectral sum rules where N2LO + estimate of the N3LO PT and power corrections up to d< 6 dimensions have been…
We present an exploratory $N_f=2$ lattice QCD study of $\psi_2(3823)\to \gamma \chi_{c1}$ at a pion mass $m_{\pi}\approx 350$~MeV. The related two-point and three-piont functions are calculated using the distillation method. The…
Motivated by the large non-$D\bar{D}$ branching fraction of $\psi(3770)$, we investigate the light meson decays of the $D$-wave charmonia in the present work with the meson loop mechanism. With the parameter range determined by $\psi (3770)…
The strong decays of the $\pi_2(1880)$ as the $2 ^1D_2$ quark-antiquark state are investigated in the $^3P_0$ model and the flux-tube model, respectively. The results are similar in the two models. It is found that the decay patterns of the…
In this write-up, we summarize our recent analysis of radiative decays involving light scalar mesons. Our analysis using the vector meson dominance model at tree level indicates that it may be difficult to distinguish $qq\bar{q}\bar{q}$…
We present the first systematic study of the radiative decays of charmed mesons using $2+1$-flavor clover fermion gauge ensembles generated by the CLQCD collaboration. One of the ensembles is at the physical pion mass, and one has a fine…

Within the method of parity-projected QCD sum rules, we study the mass spectra of light hybrid baryons with $I(J^{P})=1/2(1/2^{\pm}), 3/2(1/2^{\pm}), 1/2(3/2^{\pm}), 3/2(3/2^{\pm})$ by constructing the local $qqqg$ interpolating currents.…
The spin-singlet state $\eta_{c2}(^1D_2)$ has not been discovered in experiment and it is the only missing low-excited $D$-wave charmonium, so in this paper, we like to study its properties. Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation method, we…
