We study the two-body decay of mesons using the covariant helicity formalism. We find that to explain the ratio of partials wave amplitudes (PWAs) of the decay, the Lagrangian must include derivative interactions in addition to contact…
We make a detailed study of the effect that the recently predicted modification of the in-medium masses of charmed mesons would have on $J/\Psi$ dissociation on pion and $\rho$-meson comovers in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We find a…
We calculate the cross section for the dissociation of $J/\psi$ by kaons within the framework of a meson exchange model including anomalous parity interactions. Off-shell effects at the vertices were handled with QCD sum rule estimates for…
It is well known that neutrinoless double decay is going to play a crucial role in settling the neutrino properties, which cannot be extracted from the neutrino oscillation data. It is, in particular, expected to settle the absolute scale…

The decay of a massive pseudoscalar, scalar and U(1) boson into an electron-positron pair in the presence of strong electromagnetic backgrounds is calculated. Of particular interest is the constant-crossed-field limit, relevant for…
The charmless decay processes of $X(3872)$ provide us a good platform to study the nature and the decay mechanism of $X(3872)$. Based on a molecular nature of $X(3872)$ as a $\bar{D}D^*$ bound state, we have investigated the charmless…
A theory of tau mesonic decays is proposed. The general formula of the axial-vector currents of mesons is presented. The meson vertices are obtained from an effective chiral theory of mesons. The vertices depend on momentum. Many decay…
The probability of Z-boson decay to a pair of charged fermions in a strong electromagnetic field, is calculated. On the basis of a method that employs exact solutions to relativistic wave equations for charged particles, analytic…
We consider the possibility that physics beyond the standard model contributes to the decays B -> V1 V2, where V1 and V2 are vector mesons. We show that a time-dependent angular analysis of B -> V1 V2 decays provides many tests for this new…
In models of Randall-Sundrum type orthopositronium (o-Ps) can disappear due to tunnelling into additional dimension(s). The experimental signature of this effect is the invisible decay of orthopositronium. We point out that this process may…
We suggest to analyze the three-body decays B+- to $K+- p pbar$ and to $K+- \pi \pi$ by means of two different asymmetries. The former asymmetry, a T-odd one, vanishes and is proposed as a test for excluding biases in the experimental data.…
We examine the influence of resonance decay dynamics on momentum spectra of pions in heavy-ion collisions. Taking the decay $\omega \rightarrow 3 \pi$ as an example, we demonstrate how details of the decay matrix element can modify the…
