After discussing the intrinsic ambiguity in determining the light quark mass ratio $m_u/m_d$, we reexamine the recent proposal that this ambiguity can be resolved by applying the QCD multipole expansion for the heavy quarkonium decays. It…

The SU(3) breaking effects due to light quark masses on heavy meson masses, decay constants ($F_{D}, F_{D_{s}}$) and the form factor for semileptonic $\overline{B}\rightarrow D^{(\ast)} l\bar{\nu}_{l}$ transitions are formulated in chiral…
$\pi^+\pi^-$ transitions of heavy quarkonia, especially the $ \Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decay process, are revisited. In the framework of the Chiral Unitary Theory (ChUT), the $S$ wave $\pi\pi$ final state interaction (FSI) is…
Recently CLEO has studied the radiative decay of $\Upsilon$ into $\eta'$ and an upper limit for the decay has been determined. Confronting with this upper limit,most of theoretical predictions for the decay fails. After briefly reviewing…
We construct an effective Lagrangian for the hadronic decays of a heavy excited $s$-wave-spin-one quarkonium into its ground state. We show that reasonable fits to the measured invariant mass spectra in the $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ systems…
The eta to 3 pion decays are a valuable source of information on low energy QCD. Yet they were not used for an extraction of the chiral symmetry breaking order parameters until now. We use a bayesian approach in the framework of resummed…
We examine the hadronic interactions of quarkonia, focusing on the decays psi(2s)->psi pi pi and upsilon(2s)-> upsilon pi pi. The leading gluonic operators in the multipole expansion are matched onto the chiral lagrangian with the…

We investigate the quark mass dependence of baryon masses in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD using SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory up to one-loop order. The baryon mass data used for the analyses are obtained for the degenerate up-down…

Light bosons can be found in large classes of theories beyond the Standard Model. These light bosons may not be ruled out by current experiments and, indeed, may even provide an explanation for some anomalous experimental results. The…
Three-loop corrections to the scalar and pseudo-scalar current correlator are calculated. By applying the large momentum expansion mass terms up to order (m^2/q^2)^4 are evaluated analytically. As an application O(\alpha_s^2) corrections to…
Following searches for photinos and very light gravitinos in invisible decays of psi and Upsilon, we discuss new limits on Light Dark Matter and U bosons, from psi and Upsilon decays, as well as rare decays of K+ and invisible decays of…
We perform a QCD analysis for the radiative decay of a heavy $^3S_1$ quarkonium into the tensor meson $f_2(1270)$. We make an attempt to separate the nonperturbative effect related to the quarkonium and that related to the tensor meson, the…
