We compute the decay rate for the process $\eta_c\to p\bar p$ using an effective helicity-flipping proton-antiproton-gluon vertex which incorporates nonperturbative chiral symmetry breaking effects induced by instantons. We fix the strength…
We study the production of $\eta'$ from hadronizing thermal gluons using recently proposed $\eta'-g-g$ effective vertex. The $\eta'$ yield is found to be sensitive to the initial condition. At RHIC and LHC, the enhancement is large enough…
Di-gluon fusion mechanism might account for the large branching ratios of $B\to K \eta^{\prime}$. But because we know little about the effective $\eta^{\prime}gg$ vertex, there are large uncertainties in perturbative QCD estimations. In…
The rare decays $\eta^{(\prime)}\to\ell^+\ell^-$, $\ell\in\{e,\mu\}$, are highly suppressed in the Standard Model, both by their chirality structure and the required loop attaching the lepton line to the $\eta^{(\prime)}\to\gamma^*\gamma^*$…
The confinement mechanism proposed earlier by the author is applied to estimate the possible parameters of the confining SU(3)-gluonic field in an $\eta^\prime$-meson. For this aim the electric form factor of an $\eta^\prime$-meson is…

We study the form factors appearing in the inclusive decay b -> s g^*, in the framework of the noncommutative standard model. Here g^* denotes the virtual gluon. We get additional structures and the corresponding form factors in the…
Using the recently proposed $gg\eta'$ effective vertex, we investigate the production of $\eta'$ from gluon fusion in polarized pp collisions. We show that by measuring $A_{LL}$ in $\eta'$ production, one can extract the polarized gluon…
We discuss the effect of $\eta$--$\eta'$ mixing and of axial current anomalies on various decay processes. We describe the 2$\gamma$ decays of $\eta$ and $\eta'$, the radiative decays of low-lying vector mesons as well as the decays…
The unexpectedly large branching ratios for $B\to \eta' K (\eta' X_s)$ decays could be of gluonic origin. We study the implications for $B\to \eta K (\eta X_s)$ and $P K (PX_s)$, where $P$ is the pseudoscalar glueball. In the mechanism…
