We study the decay of hadrons based on a semiclassical string model. By including quark mass effects we find that the width to mass ratio $\G/m$ is an increasing function of $m$, which increases most rapidly for massive quarks. This is…

In supersymmetric theories, the main decay modes of scalar quarks are decays into quarks plus charginos or neutralinos, if the gluinos are heavy enough. We calculate the O($\alpha_s$) QCD corrections to these decay modes in the minimal…

We discuss S-wave quarkonia correlators and spectral function using the Wong-potential, and show that these do not agree with the lattice results.
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…
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…
In this work we study the E1 decay processes, $^3P_1$ $\rightarrow$ $^3S_1\gamma$, and $^3S_1$ $\rightarrow$ $^3P_1\gamma$ in the framework of Bethe-Salpeter equation and calculate their decay widths. We have used algebraic forms of…
We point out that the determination of the leptonic decay width of radially-excited quarkonia is strongly dependent on the position of the node typical of these excitations. We suggest that this feature could be related with the…
