In this second report on our recent numerical simulations of two-flavour QCD, we provide further technical details on the simulations and describe the methods we used to extract the meson masses and decay constants from the generated…
Two-body weak decays of bottom mesons into two pseudoscalar mesons are examined employing SU(3) flavor symmetry for the nonfactorizable matrix elements. Using certain measured Cabibo-favored modes, we fix the reduced matrix elements and…
The new CDF II measurement of $W$-boson mass shows a 7$\sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction, while the recent FNAL measurement of the muon $g-2$ shows a 4.2$\sigma$ deviation (combined with the BNL result) from the SM.…
In this paper we explore the computation of topological susceptibility and $\eta'$ meson mass in $N_f=2$ flavor QCD using lattice techniques with physical value of the pion mass as well as larger pion mass values. We observe that the…

We consider the flavor symmetry L_mu - L_tau for the neutrino mass matrix. The most general neutrino mass matrix conserving L_mu - L_tau predicts quasi-degenerate neutrino masses with one maximal and two zero mixing angles. The presence of…

Under Newtonian gravity total masses for dSph galaxies will scale as $M_{T} \propto R_{e} \sigma^{2}$, with $R_{e}$ the effective radius and $\sigma$ their velocity dispersion. When both of the above quantities are available, the resulting…
This work is driven by our curiosity towards some basic questions in QCD: how is the energy of a moving hadron partitioned among different gauge-invariant sectors in QCD Hamiltonian? How is the energy of an massless pion separated between…
The structure of the mass matrix, a challenging problem in the Standard Model, is closely related to flavor phenomenology and the understanding of the Yukawa interaction. We derive a factorized mass structure based on observed fermion mass…
