The behavior of kaons and pions in strange quark matter in weak equilibrium, is investigated within the SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio [NJL] model. This work focuses a region of high densities where the behavior of mesons has not been explored in…
We study the anomalous decays $\pi^0, \eta \to\gamma\gamma$ in the framework of the three--flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio [NJL] model, in the vacuum and in quark matter in $\beta$ --equilibrium. It is found that the behavior of the relevant…

We study the $K \to 2 \pi$ decays using the $U_L(3) \times U_R(3)$ version of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the effective $\Delta S = 1$ nonleptonic weak interaction. The $\Delta I = {3/2}$ amplitude is in reasonable agreement with…
The confinement mechanism proposed earlier by the author is employed for to compute the decay constants $f_P$ corresponding to leptonic decays $P\to l^\pm+\nu_l$, $l=\mu, e$, where $P$ stands for any meson from $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$. For this…
We study aspects of the pion condensation in two-flavor neutral quark matter using the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model of QCD at finite density. We investigate the role of electric charge neutrality, and explicit symmetry breaking via quark mass,…
We study the influence of leptophilic dark matter interactions on decays of muons and ground state mesons in existing experiments. We consider a secluded dark sector exclusively interacting with leptons via either a (leptophilic) scalar or…

Two-photon decays of vector mesons and dilepton decays of scalar mesons which are forbidden in vacuum and can occur in dense baryonic matter due to the explicit violation of Lorentz symmetry are described within a quark model of the…
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…

The leptonic decay of charged pions is investigated in the presence of background magnetic fields. In this situation Lorentz symmetry is broken and new fundamental decay constants need to be introduced, associated with the decay via the…

Motivated by the recent LHCb observation of doubly-charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ in the $\Lambda_c^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ final state, we analyze the weak decays of doubly heavy baryons $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Omega_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bc}$, $\Omega_{bc}$,…
A kaon decaying into three pions is an example of a weak process. However, since the quarks are confined into mesons, the strong interaction also plays an important part. The reaction is a low-energy one, meaning that it takes place in the…
