We present a calculation of the process B --> D eta' within a heavy-light chiral quark model. We assume that the eta' has a large gluonic component, and its coupling is described via the glue-glue-eta' effective vertex. The main…
The chiral condensate is computed from the mode number of the staggered Dirac operator. This result is compared with those obtained with other approaches, based on the quark mass dependence of the topological susceptibility and of the pion…

The large mass of the ninth pseudoscalar meson, the $\eta^\prime$, is believed to arise from the combined effects of the axial anomaly and the gauge field topology present in QCD. We report a realistic, 2+1 flavor, lattice QCD calculation…
