A comparative study of the anomalous decays $\pi^0, \eta \to\gamma\gamma$, at finite temperature and at finite density, is performed in the framework of the three--flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio. The similarities and differences between both…
We report the first evidence for the eta_b(2S) using the h_b(2P)->eta_b(2S)gamma transition and the first observation of the h_b(1P)->eta_b(1S)gamma and h_b(2P)->eta_b(1S)gamma transitions. The mass and width of the eta_b(1S) and eta_b(2S)…
The double electron capture half-lives of 156Dy, 162Er and 168Yb are evaluated using the pseudo SU(3) model, which describes ground and excited bands as well as their B(E2) and B(M1) transition strengths in remarkable agreement with…

Total and differential cross sections for the reaction p(gamma, eta)p have been measured for photon energies in the range from 750 MeV to 3 GeV. The low-energy data are dominated by the S11 wave which has two poles in the energy region…
Based on the assumption of two-quark structure of the scalar meson $K_0^*(1430)$, we calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios for $B \to K_0^*(1430) \etap$ decays in the framework of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach here. We perform…

We study two-photon exchange (TPE) in the elastic electron-nucleon scattering at high Q^2 in the framework of pQCD. The obtained TPE amplitude is of order alpha/alpha_s with respect to Born approximation. Its shape and value are sensitive…
The neutral decay modes of the eta meson are reviewed. The most recent results obtained with the Crystal Ball multiphoton detector at BNL are incorporated. This includes a new, precise result for the slope parameter alpha of the Dalitz plot…
We discuss gamma gamma partial widths of pseudoscalar/isoscalar mesons eta(M) in the mass region M = 1000-1500 MeV. The transition amplitudes eta(1295) -> gamma gamma and eta(1440) -> gamma gamma are studied within an assumption that the…
Some features of a program 'eett6f' for top quark pair production and decay into six fermions at linear colliders are discussed. Lowest order standard model predictions for cross sections of some six fermion channels and for the top quark…
Decays of both $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ provide very useful information in our understanding of low-energy QCD, and experimental signatures for these decays would be extremely helpful at BES-III. The rare decays of the $\eta$ and…
In this article, we study the rare decay process in which a Higgs boson decays into a $Z$ boson and a photon. In the first part of the paper, we analyze the Standard Model (SM) contributions to the corresponding decay width, including the…
Neutrinoless double beta decay pops up almost in any extension of the standard model. It is perhaps the only process, which can unambiguously determine whether the massive neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac type particles. In addition from the…
We calculate the decay rate B-> X_s photon photon via intermediate psuedoscalar charmonium eta_c. This process is thought to be the main long-distance contribution which dominates the corresponding inclusive rare B decay. We point out that…
Two-photon decay rates of pseudoscalar, scalar and tensor states of charmonium and bottomonium are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. Both relativistic effects and one-loop radiative corrections are taken into…
