We study the flavour changing neutral Higgs boson decays that can be induced from genuine supersymmetric particles at the one-loop level and within the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We consider all the possible…
Recently performed investigations of meson spectra allow us to determine the resonance structure for the waves $IJ^{PC}=00^{++}$, $10^{++}$, $02^{++}$, $12^{++}$ = $IJ^P= 1/2 0^+$ in the mass region up to 1900 MeV, thus establishing the…

We demonstrate that in a recently proposed unified leptoquark model based on the gauge group $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_R$ significant deviations from the Standard Model values of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ can be accommodated without any…
Flavour physics plays a crucial role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). While $B$ physics offers many observables to look for deviations from the SM, the highest new physics sensitivity can be obtained in the rare…
The Crystal Barrel Collaboration observes scalar meson resonances in $\bar p p$ annihilation. Based on the measurements and partial wave analyses these are candidates for the $^3$P$_0$ groundstate nonet. The supernummerary $f_0(1500)$…
Top-down holographic QCD models often work in the "probe" (or "quenched") limit, which assumes that the number of colors is much greater than the number of flavors. Relaxing this limit is essential to a fuller understanding of holography…
We study the rho^0 and phi decays into pi^+ pi^- gamma, pi^0 pi^0 gamma and phi into pi^0 eta gamma using a chiral unitary approach to deal with the final state interaction of the M M system. The final state interaction modifies only…
Based on gauge invariance, we show that the new threshold phenomenon is discovered in the \phi radiative decays \phi\to\gamma a0\to\gamma\pi0\eta and \phi\to\gamma f0\to\gamma\pi0\pi0. This enables to conclude that production of the…
Using rotation in SU(3) space, a set of relations between various decay modes of B_{d} and B_{s} are derived. The decays bar{B}_{d}^{0}-> K^{*-}pi ^{+}(rho ^{+}K^{-}), bar{B}_{s}^{0}-> K^{*-}K^{+} are expressed in terms of decay parameters…

We resume the investigation of the ground-state pseudoscalar glueball, $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$, by computing its two- and three-body decays into vector and axial-vector quark-antiquark meson fields additional to scalar and pseudoscalar mesons…
Kinematic edges in cascade decays provide a probe of the masses of new particles. In some new physics scenarios the decay chain involves intermediate particles of different flavors that can mix and oscillate. We discuss the implication of…

Lattice QCD predictions have motivated several recent studies of the mixing between the predicted JPC = 0++ glueball and a qqbar nonet in the 1.3 to 1.7 GeV region. We show that results from apparently different approaches have some common…
Discrepancies between recent experimental results and their respective Standard Model predictions, known as flavour anomalies, are reported in semileptonic charged and neutral-current $B$-decays, the muon magnetic moment $(g-2)_\mu$, and…
The $\psi(3686)$ is identified as the radial excitation of the $J/\psi$. Based on perturbative QCD, the branching ratio of the $\psi(3686)$ into some final hadron state should be approximately 13% of the branching ratio of the $J/\psi$ to…
We discuss the theoretical expectations and phenomenological evidence for the lightest glueballs and the members of the meson nonet with quantum numbers J^PC=0^{++}. We reconsider the recent evidence for candidate states with masses below…
