We discuss the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule violation effects in $\eta_c\to VV$ in light of the new data from BES Collaboration. In particular, a possible non-vanishing branching ratio for $\eta_c\to \omega\phi$ provides a hint of the…
We investigate the correlations between the scalar meson configurations and Okuba-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule violations in the hadronic decays of heavy quarkonia, e.g. $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$, into isoscalar vector meson ($\phi$ and $\omega$)…
We present a calculation of the masses of the isovector mesons ( vector, scalar and pseudoscalar including the established recurrences) using a new method of finite energy QCD sum rules. The method is based on the idea of choosing a…

The mass spectrum of P-wave mesons is considered in a nonrelativistic constituent quark model. The results show the common mass degeneracy of the isovector and isodoublet states of the scalar and tensor meson nonets, and do not exclude the…
We compute isospin-violating meson-nucleon coupling constants and their consequent charge-symmetry-breaking nucleon-nucleon potentials. The couplings result from evaluating matrix elements of quark currents between nucleon states in a…
The BESIII observation of the $X(2600)$ suggests that one possible assignment for its spin-parity quantum numbers is $J^{PC}=2^{-+}$. This finding motivates us to systematically revisit isoscalar pseudotensor mesonic states through a…
Recent experiments show that the isospin-violating mass splitting of the B mesons is very small, but the best fits with a QCD sum rule analysis give a splitting of at least 1.0 MeV. The isospin-violating mass splittings of the charmed…
A brief review of the isospin symmetry breaking in hadrons and nuclei is given with emphasis on the $u-d$ quark mass difference. The off-shell $\rho^0-\omega$ mixing is studied as a typical example of the symmetry breaking, and its…
The firm understanding of standard quark-antiquark states (including excited states) is necessary to search for non-conventional mesons with the same quantum numbers. In this work, we study the phenomenology of two nonets of excited vector…
The mass splittings of hyperons including the isospin splittings are calculated with $O(\ms^2)$ and $O(\ms \dm)$ accuracy respectively within the semibosonized SU(3)-NJL model. The pattern of the isospin splittings is not spoiled by the…
The spectrum of excited isovector mesons is studied using a 32^3 x 256 anisotropic lattice with u,d quark masses set to give a pion mass near 240 MeV. Results in the bosonic isovector nonstrange symmetry channels of zero total momentum are…
Baryon mass splittings are analyzed in terms of a simple model with general pairwise interactions. At present, the $\Delta$ masses are poorly known from experiments. Improvement of these data would provide an opportunity to make a…
In calculations of isoscalar magnetic moments of odd-odd N=Z nuclei it was found that for medium to heavy mass nuclei large scale shell model calculations yielded results which were very close to much simpler single j shell ones. To…
