New experimental measurements are used to test model independent sum rules for charmed baryon masses. Sum rules for medium-strong mass differences are found to be reasonably well satisfied with increasing accuracy, and the new measurements…
It is known that about $60\%$ of all Higgses produced at the CERN-LHC decay into a pair of bottom quarks. Bottoms quickly hadronize, in most cases, into bottom-flavored (B) hadrons before they decay. Therefore, the study of scaled-energy…

The large number of $B_c$ mesons observed by LHCb suggests a sizable cross section for producing doubly-heavy baryons in the same experiment. Motivated by this, we estimate masses of the doubly-heavy $J=1/2$ baryons $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bb}$,…

We use the vacuum expectation value of a Wegner-Wilson loop representing a fast moving quark-antiquark pair to derive the light cone Hamiltonian for a $q\bar q$ meson. We solve the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation for various trial wave…
The Standard Model Lagrangian requires the values of the fermion masses, the Higgs mass and three other experimentally well-measured quantities as input in order to become predictive. These are typically taken to be $\alpha$, $G_\mu$ and…
The suitability of using non-relativistic quantum mechanics to investigate heavy quark mesons is illustrated through a study of the charmonium meson. We consider a limiting form of the QCD potential which is a simple combination of the…
