We show that the observed structure of quark and lepton masses and mixing angles can arise entirely geometrically from superstring constructions, at the renormalizable level. The model we consider is a $Z_3$ orbifold compactification of…
A new ansatz for quark and lepton mass matrices is proposed in the context of supersymmetric grand unified theories. The 13 parameters describing fermion masses and mixings are determined in terms of only 6 free parameters, allowing 7…
We perform an analysis of the elastic production of vector mesons with polarized photon beams at high energy in order to investigate the validity of a recently proposed dynamical mechanism based on the dominance of the f_1 trajectory at…
We calculate the light pseudoscalar decay constants, f_pi and f_K, and their ratio using domain wall valence quarks and 2+1 flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. Use of the MILC gauge configurations allows us to simulate at several sea…
We study the interaction of a kaon with the $f_1(1285)$ resonance, assuming that the $f_1(1285)$ is a molecular state generated by the $K \bar K^*, \bar K K^*$ interaction, evaluating the scattering amplitude, the scattering length and…
We present an approach to study the decay modes of the $J/\psi$ into a vector meson and a tensor meson, taking into account the nature of the $f_2(1270)$, $f'_2(1525)$, $\bar{K}^{* 0}_2(1430)$ resonances as dynamically generated states from…
We report four $\Sigma$'s and three $\Lambda$'s, in the 1500 - 1800 MeV region, as two meson - one baryon S-wave $(1/2)^+$ resonances. We solve Faddeev equations in the coupled channel approach. The invariant mass of one of the meson-baryon…
We discuss the neutrino oscillations, using texture zero mass matrices for the leptons. The reactor mixing angle $\theta^{}_{l}$ is calculated. The ratio of the masses of two neutrinos is determined by the solar mixing angle. We can…
Recently the concept of compositeness has been developed so as to distinguish whether interested hadrons are hadronic molecules or not. Here, in terms of compositeness, we investigate $\bar{K} N$ molecular structure of the $\Lambda (1405)$…
We use the 1/N_c method to estimate electromagnetic contributions to vector meson masses and mixings. We identify several new sources of rho-omega mixing coming from short-distance effects. We comment on the extraction of quark masses from…
We study meson resonances with quantum numbers J^P=1^+ in terms of the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. At leading order a parameter-free prediction is obtained for the scattering of Goldstone bosons off vector mesons with J^P=1^- once we insist on…
We investigate a relation among neutrino observables, three mixing angles and two mass squared differences, from a cascade texture of neutrino mass matrix. We show an allowed region of the correlation by use of current data of neutrino…
We evaluate the cross section for the $p p \to p p f_{1}(1285)$ and $p \bar{p} \to p \bar{p} f_{1}(1285)$ reactions at near threshold energies relevant for the HADES and PANDA experiments at GSI-FAIR. We assume that at energies close to the…
Possibility of an axial vector isoscalar tetraquark $ud\bar{s}\bar{s}$ is discussed. If a $f_1$ meson in the mass region $1.4-1.5$ GeV consists of four quarks $ns\bar{n}\bar{s}$, the mass of the isoscalar…
A procedure for using the eigenvectors of the elements of the representations of a discrete group in model building is introduced and is used to construct a model that produces a large reactor mixing angle, sin^2(theta13)=2/3 sin^2(pi/16),…
We investigate the $B_{d,s}^0 \to f_1 f_1$ decays in the framework of perturbative QCD(PQCD) approach with a referenced value $\phi_{f_1} \sim 24^\circ$. Here, $f_1$ denotes the axial-vector mesons $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$ with mixing…
We demonstrate that under the "symmetric zero texture" with minimal Majorana mass matrix, neutrino masses and mixing angles are expressed in terms of up-quark masses, $m_t,m_c,m_u$. This provides interesting relations among neutrino mixing…
We are computing the modifications for the scalar and pseudoscalar meson masses and mixing angles due to the proper accounting of fermionic vacuum fluctuation in the framework of the generalized 2+1 flavor quark meson model and the Polyakov…
In this work, the $K\bar{K}^*$ interaction is studied in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach combined with the one-boson-exchange model. With the help of the hidden-gauge Lagrangian, the exchanges of pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi$…
This thesis examines three problems of the quark model, split between two general areas. The general areas are: 1) models of meson decay ($^3P_0$ and flux-tube breaking), 2) final state interactions (FSI's). The three specific problems are:…
