Based on existing data, we argue for a peculiar structure of the neutrino mass matrix, that has a block of relatively large elements--a dominant block. We analyze this ansatz and extract its predictions, assuming that the O(1) coefficients…
By describing within the chiral unitary approach the s-wave interaction of the vector meson nonet with the octet of pseudoscalar Goldstone Bosons, we find that the main component of the axial vector mesons b_1(1235), h_1(1170), h_1(1380),…
On the basis of a simultaneous description of the isoscalar s-wave channel of the $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold up to 1.9 GeV) and of the $\pi\pi\to K\bar{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.4 GeV) in the model-independent…
The potential of the $B$ meson and the pseudoscalar meson is constructed up to the next-to-leading order Lagrangian, and then the $B \bar{K}$ and $B_s \pi$ interaction is studied in the unitary coupled-channel approximation, and a resonant…
Cabibbo-allowed charmed meson decays into a pseudoscalar meson and an axial-vector meson are studied. The charm to axial-vector meson transition form factors are evaluated in the Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise quark model. The dipole momentum…
We discuss first the flavor mixing of the quarks, using the texture zero mass matrices. Then we study a similar model for the mass matrices of the leptons. We are able to relate the mass eigenvalues of the charged leptons and of the…
The axial anomaly is responsible for the masses and mixing of the mesons $\eta$ and $\eta'$. An open question is if (and to what extent) it affects also other hadrons. We show that anomalous terms can be important to understand the…
We investigate the K1--> K pi pi strong interaction decays. Using the 3P0 quark-pair-creation model to derive the basic parametrization, we discuss in detail how to obtain the various partial wave amplitudes into the possible quasi-two-body…
We determine the mass and decay constant of the $a_1$ meson using Monte Carlo simulation of lattice QCD. We find $M_{a_1} = 1250 \pm 80$ MeV and $f_{a_1} = 0.30 \pm 0.03 ~({\rm GeV})^2$, in good agreement with experiment.
We study the possibility that four iso-singlet baryons $\Lambda_s(1405)$ $J^P=1/2^{-}$, $\Lambda_s(1520)$ $J^P=3/2^{-}$, $\Lambda_c(2593)$ $J^P=1/2^{-}$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ $J^P=3/2^{-}$ are hybrids: three quark one gluon states (udsg).…
Within a picture of the $f_1(1285)$ being a dynamically generated resonance from the $ K^*\bar K$ interactions, we estimate the rates for the radiative transitions of the $f_1(1285)$ meson to the vector mesons $\rho^0$,$\omega$ and $\phi$.…
We analyze the experimental data for $\phi\to f_0(980)\gamma$, $\phi\to a_0(980)\gamma$, $f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$ and $a_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$ decay widths in a framework where $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ are assumed to be mainly…
We consider phenomenological constraints on the mass $M_{Z^{\prime}}$ and the two mixing angles $\theta_R$ and $\xi$ of the neutral sector in a very general class of $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)$ models using electroweak data. We do…
Two observed structures with $M=1868 \pm 8^{+ 40}_{- 57}$ MeV and $M=2073 \pm 94^{+ 245}_{- 240}$ MeV are the same states ($K_2^*(1980)$) in PDG.The analysis of the mass spectrum and the calculation of the strong decay of $K_2^*$ mesons…
The possible masses and kinetic mixings of hidden U(1)s in the LARGE volume scenario are discussed, including the generalisation of the compact manifold to a K3 fibration.
We investigate the dynamical generation of the $b_1$ meson in the $\pi\omega$ interaction, using the fully off-mass-shell coupled-channel formalism with the $\pi\omega$, $\eta\rho$, $\pi\phi$, and $K\bar{K}^*$ channels included. We first…
We use QCD Laplace sum-rules to explore mixing between conventional mesons and hybrids in the heavy quarkonium vector $J^{PC}\!=\!1^{--}$ channel. Our cross-correlator includes perturbation theory and contributions proportional to the…
The photo-induced $K^*$ vector meson production is investigated for the study of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. This reaction is particularly suited to the isolation of the second pole in the $\Lambda(1405)$ region which couples dominantly…
Based on a $3\times3$ mass matrix describing the mixing of the scalar states $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$, the hadronic decays of the three states are investigated. Taking into account the two possible assumptions concerning the…
We investigate the hybrid exotic meson with $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ within the framework of an AdS/QCD model. Introducing a holographic field dual to the operator for hybrid exotic meson, we obtain the eigen-value equation for its mass. Fixing all…
