The background field method for measuring the electric polarizability of the neutron is adapted to the dynamical quark case, resulting in the calculation of (certain space-time integrals over) three- and four-point functions. Particular…
We calculate the masses of $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ and $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ states with threshold corrections in a coupled-channel model. Here, the meson quarkonium core is augmented by higher Fock components due to pair-creation effects.…
We study the final-state interaction (FSI) effects in charmless B_{u,d,s} to PP decays. We consider a FSI approach with both short- and long-distance contributions, where the former are from in-elastic channels and are contained in…
