We first review the work of the Syracuse group, which uses an effective chiral Lagrangian approach, on meson-meson scattering. An illustration providing evidence for the existence of a strange scalar resonance of mass around 900 MeV is…
We study the quark-mass dependence of J^P = \frac12^- s-wave and J^P = \frac32^- d-wave baryon resonances. Parameter-free results are obtained in terms of the leading order chiral Lagrangian. In the 'heavy' SU(3) limit with m_\pi =m_K…
Within the Extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio model we analyse the $1/N_c$-corrections to the leading order result $M_S=2M_Q$ where $M_Q$ is the constituent quark mass.
We study in special limiting cases quasinormal modes of massive scalar fields in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole backgrounds. We determine the lower limit on the mass parameter of the scalar field that allows the waves with…

We include two loop, relativistic one loop and second order relativistic tree level corrections, plus leading nonperturbative contributions, to obtain a calculation of the lower states in the heavy quarkonium spectrum correct up to, and…
We compute the heavy quarkonium mass of $l\not= 0$ (angular momentum) states, with otherwise arbitrary quantum numbers, with next-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (N$^3$LL) accuracy. This constitutes the first observable in heavy…
We construct an effective Lagrangian for the hadronic decays of a heavy excited $s$-wave-spin-one quarkonium into its ground state. We show that reasonable fits to the measured invariant mass spectra in the $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ systems…
We show that the observed quark masses seem to be consistent with a simple scaling law. Due to the precise values of the heavy quarks we are able to calculate the quark masses in the light quark sector. We discuss a possible value for the…
Using effective field theory methods, we discuss the extraction of the mass and width of the scalar mesons f0(980) and a0(980) from the finite-volume spectrum in lattice QCD. In particular, it is argued that the nature of these states can…
A recent determination of the mass of the b quark, based exclusively on quantum chromodynamics (by avoiding strictly to introduce any phenomenological interaction potential of nonperturbative origin), may be improved by allowing for a…
The N-dimensional radial Schrodinger equation with an extended Cornell potential is solved. The analytical exact iteration method is applied. The energy eigenvalues are calculated in the N-dimensional space. The charmonium meson, the…
We investigate bottomonia splittings by solving a Schrodinger-Pauli-type equation with parametrisations of QCD potentials around those that have been determined previously in lattice simulations. This is done both, in the continuum and on…
We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limit of glueball masses in the valence (quenched) approximation to lattice QCD. For the lightest scalar and tensor states we obtain masses of $1648 \pm 58$ MeV and $2267 \pm 104$ MeV,…
We have calculated the binding energy of the hybrid quarkonium up to the order of ${\cal O}(1/m_Q)$ and found their decay constants scale like $m_Q^{5/4}$ as $m_Q\to \infty$. The $0^{--}$ and $0^{++}$ hybrid quarkonium is exactly degenerate…
Broad meson phenomenology in vacuum is discussed in a single model containing scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector states both in the non-strange and strange sectors. Emphasis is given to search for quark-antiquark (quarkonium)…
Quark masses are of great prominence in high-energy physics. In this paper, we have studied the heavy meson systems via solving the Lippmann-Schwinger equation by using the Martin potential for heavy quark masses. We have also attempted to…
We calculate the masses and leptonic decay widths of the bottomonium $b\bar b$ and charmonium $c\bar c$ states in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and spin-dependent interaction are employed, with all model…
I discuss the results of a new calculation of the charm and bottom quark masses in the quenched approximation and in the continuum limit of lattice QCD. The work has been done by the APE group at the ``Tor Vergata'' University making use of…
Quark mass ratios are expressed within the linear meson model by universal relations involving only the masses and decay constants of the flavored pseudoscalars as well as their wave function renormalization. Quantitative results are in…
