Heavy vector-like quarks coupled to a scalar $S$ will induce a coupling of this scalar to gluons and possibly (if electrically charged) photons. The decay of the heavy quark into $Sq$, with $q$ being a Standard Model quark, provides, if…
Assuming Coulomb-like as well as confining scalar potential, we have solved Shr\"odinger equation perturbatively in $1/m_Q$ with a heavy quark mass $m_Q$. The lowest order equation is examined carefully. Mass levels are fitted with…
We complete the calculation of the element $\Gamma_{12}^q$ of the decay matrix in $B_q-\bar{B}_q$ mixing, $q=d,s$, to order $\alpha_s$ in the leading power of the Heavy Quark Expansion. To this end we compute one- and two-loop contributions…
We have calculated the binding energy of the hybrid quarkonium up to the order of ${\cal O}(1/m_Q)$ and found their decay constants scale like $m_Q^{5/4}$ as $m_Q\to \infty$. The $0^{--}$ and $0^{++}$ hybrid quarkonium is exactly degenerate…
Numerical simulations of the quarkonium spin splittings are done in the framework of lattice nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD). At leading order in the velocity expansion the spin splittings are of $O(M_Q v^4)$, where $M_Q$ is…
Using a newly developed interquark potential, we tabulate values of the radial Schr\"{o}dinger wave function or its first nonvanishing derivative at zero quark--antiquark separation, for $c\bar{c}$, $c\bar{b}$, and $b\bar{b}$ levels that…
The semi-inclusive decay processes of a top quark into a charged pseudo-scalar meson and a jet are studied within the framework of QCD factorization. The leading power of the decay matrix elements can be factorized into heavy-to-light quark…
The pseudoscalar quarkonia exclusive decays to light mesons still poses a challenge to the theoretical understanding of quarkonium properties in decay. In this work, we evaluate the processes of pseudoscalar heavy quarkonium decays into…
Recent results in Quarkonia are reviewed, including updates on spectroscopy and $\alpha_s$, and a first look at quarkonium annihilation decays.
Using the general form of the generalized Bethe-Salpeter wave functions for four-quark states describing the meson-meson molecular structure given in our previous work, we obtain the general formulas for the decay widths of molecular states…
The lighter top squark in supersymmetry can live long enough to form hadronic bound states if it has no kinematically allowed two-body decays that conserve flavor. In this case, scalar stoponium may be observable through its diphoton decay…
In the s-wave approximation the 4D Einstein gravity with scalar fields can be reduced to an effective 2D dilaton gravity coupled nonminimally to the matter fields. We study the leading order (tree level) vertices. The 4-particle matrix…
In the framework of the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT), we calculate the radiative decay amplitudes of the singly heavy baryons up to the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). In the numerical analysis, we adopt the heavy…
We present a determination of a new class of Feynman diagrams relevant for second-order QCD corrections to the top quark decay t -> b W. Modern computing techniques allow us to perform a reduction of the original loop integrals to master…
Radiative decays of pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated in the framework of the chiral Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We use the amplitude for triangle quark loops of anomalous type. In evaluating these loop integrals we use two…
We analyze the renormalon ambiguities that appear in factorization formulas in QCD. Our analysis contains a simple argument that the ambiguities in the short-distance coefficients and operator matrix elements are artifacts of…
In this contribution, we discuss the electromagnetic and weak decays of baryons in the unquenched quark model and show that the observed discrepancies between the experimental data and the predictions of the constituent quark model can be…
We have calculated the rate of the decay b -> clv to second order in alpha_s in the limit that the b and c quarks have equal masses. The results here confirm recent calculations done in the opposite limit where the c-quark is much lighter…
We discuss a model-independent framework for the analysis of the radiative B-meson decays B -> K* gamma and B -> rho gamma based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. We present a factorization formula for the treatment of B -> V gamma matrix…
