Electromagnetic mass difference between neutral $K^*$ and charged $K^*$ has been calculated in the $U(3)_L\times U(3)_R$ chiral fields theory of mesons. It has been revealed that the non-abelian gauge structure of the massive Yang-Mills…
To one-loop order and $O(\alpha_{em})$, the electromagnetic mass splittings of $\pi$, $a_1$, $K$, $K_1(1400)$, and $K^*(892)$ are calculated in the framework of $U(3)_L\times U(3)_R$ chiral field theory. The logarithmic divergences emerging…
Belle Collaboration reported a new observed value of K*-(892) mass by studying tau --> K_S pi nu_tau decay, which is significantly different from the current world average value given by Particle Data Group 2006. Motivated by this new data,…
Using the Cottingham formula, we give an estimate of the electromagnetic mass splitting of pseudoscalar heavy mesons in the beauty and charm sector. We include in the dispersion relation the Born term, the $1^-$ resonance and the positive…

The electromagnetic contribution to the $K^+ - K^0$ mass difference is calculated in the $1/N_c$ approach including the $SU(3)$ breaking contributions due to a non-zero strange quark mass. The short-distance contribution can be…
We study the response of the electron mass to an externally applied electrical field. As a consequence of nonlinear electromagnetic (EM) effective action, the mass of a particle diminishes in the presence of an externally applied electric…
The persistent $a_\mu \equiv (g-2)/2$ anomaly in the muon sector could be due to new physics visible in the electron sector through a sub-ppb measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron $a_e$. Driven by recent results on…
We have investigated exclusive, radiative B meson decays to charmless mesons (\rho, \omega, \phi, K^*(892), K^*_2(1430)) in 9.7\times 10^6 BBbar decays accumulated with the CLEO detector. The B -> K^*(892)\gamma branching fractions are…
BES data on $J/\psi \to \gamma (K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-)$ are presented. The $K^*\bar K^*$ contribution peaks strongly near threshold. It is fitted with a broad $0^{-+}$ resonance with mass $M = 1800 \pm 100$ MeV, width $\Gamma = 500 \pm 200$ MeV.…
Electron mass is considered as a matrix element of the energy-momentum trace in the rest frame. The one-loop diagrams for this matrix element are different from the textbook diagrams for the electron mass renormalization. We clarify…
Forward-backward charge asymmetry in rare dilepton $B$-decays is formulated with the assumption of an on-shell b-quark. We find the asymmetry is expressed in terms of two spatially transverse helicity amplitudes, which are determined by…
$K^*(892)^0\bar K^*(892)^0$ signals from $\chi_{cJ} (J=0,1,2)$ decays are observed for the first time using a data sample of 14 million $\psi(2S)$ events accumulated at the BES II detector. The branching fractions ${\cal B}(\chi_{cJ}\to…

We compute the electromagnetic mass differences of mesons containing a single heavy quark in terms of measurable data using QCD-based arguments in heavy-quark effective theory. We derive an unsubtracted dispersion relation that shows that…
