Typically in unified theories the neutrino mixing angles, like the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) angles of the quarks, are related to the small mass ratios between fermions of different generations and are therefore quite small. A new…
In this paper, we calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for \bar B^0_s \to f_0(980)K, f_0(1500)K within Perturbative QCD approach based on k_T factorization. If the mixing angle $\theta$ falls into the range of…
We present a detailed study of $B\to K_1(1270) \gamma$ and $B\to K_1(1400) \gamma$ decays. Using the light-cone sum rule technique, we calculate the $B\to K_{1A} (1^3P_1)$ and $B\to K_{1B} (1^1P_1)$ tensor form factors, $T_1^{K_{1A}}(0)$…
Masses and widths of the charmed axial-vector mesons $D_1(2420)$, $D_1(2430)$, $D_{s1}(2536)$, and $D_{s1}(2460)$ are calculated nonperturbatively in the Resonance-Spectrum-Expansion model, by coupling various open and closed meson-meson…
In this talk I show recent results on how many excited baryon resonances appear as systems of one meson and one baryon, or two mesons and one baryon, with the mesons being either pseudoscalar or vectors. Connection with experiment is made…
We have evaluated the strong decays of the $K_0^*(1950)$ and $K_0^*(2130)$ within the $^3P_0$ model, by employing the meson wave functions from the relativized quark model. By comparing with the experimental measurements, the $K_0^*(2130)$…
A study of the f1(1285) and f1(1420) produced in central pp interactions has been performed. For the first time in a single experiment the branching fractions of both mesons in all major decay modes have been determined. Both the f1(1285)…
We present results for the hadronic running of the electromagnetic coupling and the weak mixing angle from simulations of lattice QCD with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions. Using two different discretisations of the…
In this paper, we analyze the scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1500)$ from the decays $\bar B^0_s \to f_0(980)\pi^0, f_0(1500)\pi^0$ within Perturbative QCD approach. From the leading order calculations, we find that (a) in the allowed…
In the framework of an extended bag model the magnetic moments, M1 transition moments, and decay widths of all ground-state heavy hadrons are calculated. For the heavy baryons containing three quarks of different flavors the effect of…
We reconsider the contribution due to $\pi a_1$-mixing to the anomalous $\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^-$ amplitude from the standpoint of the low-energy theorem $F^{\pi}=e f_\pi^2 F^{3\pi}$, which relates the electromagnetic form factor…
By the application of a linear mass spectrum to a composite system of both the pseudoscalar and scalar meson nonets, we find three mass relations for the masses of the scalar states which suggest the $q\bar{q}$ assignment for the scalar…
The BES data on the $J/\psi \to \eta K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ reaction show a clear enhancement in the $K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ mass distribution close to the threshold of this channel. Such an enhancement is usually a signature of a L=0 resonance…
The $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance has been recently studied in a unitarized coupled channel formalism with $\pi\Sigma(1385)$, $K\Xi(1530)$, $\bar{K}N$ and $\pi\Sigma$ as constituents blocks. We provide a theoretical study of the predictions of…
Using the $B\to K_1$ form factors evaluated in the perturbative QCD approach, we study semileptonic $B\to K_1(1270)l^+l^-$ and $B\to K_1(1400)l^+l^-$ decays, where $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ are mixtures of $K_{1A}$ and $K_{1B}$ which are…
We calculated the decay widths of the $1^3F_2$ and $1^3F_4$ $s\bar{s}$ mesons and compared them to the measured properties of the $\xi(2220)$ (now known as the $f_4(2220)$). Including previously neglected decay modes we found that the width…
We develop a theoretical framework to quantify the structure of unstable hadron resonances. With the help of the corresponding system in a finite volume, we define the compositeness of resonance states which can be interpreted as a…
Implications of recently measured leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ as well as the other two mixing angles have been examined for Fritzsch-like mass matrices with minimal texture for Dirac neutrinos. Interestingly, the existing data seems…
The axial strange form factor $F^s_A$ of the nucleon is assumed to be dominated at low momentum transfer by the isoscalar axial vector mesons $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$. The importance of the $a_0\pi N$-triangular vertex correction is…
We test the hypothesis of $K(1460)$ being a hadronic $J^P=0^-$ molecule through nonperturbative $S$-wave $K K\bar K$, $K\pi\pi$, $K\pi\eta$ coupled-channel dynamics in a three-body unitary isobar approach. The scalar two-body…
