We present the study of the semileptonic decay \Lambda_c to \Lambda\ell^+\nu by using the light-cone sum rule approach. Distribution amplitudes (DAs) for the \Lambda baryon are discussed to the leading order conformal spin, and QCD sum rule…
We examine the present status of the Bjorken sum rule in the light of recent data on the spin structure functions of the proton, neutron and deuteron obtained by the CERN and SLAC experimental groups. We also discuss the role of possible…
We present a new framework for the extraction of the strong coupling from hadronic \tau decays through finite-energy sum rules. Our focus is on the small, but still significant non-perturbative effects that, in principle, affect both the…
We suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave--functions while the charge operators have no (or only small) explicit symmetry breaking components. We utilize the collective coordinate approach to chiral…
The status of tests of the standard electroweak model and of searches for new physics in allowed nuclear $\beta$ decay and neutron decay is reviewed including both theoretical and experimental developments. The sensitivity and…
The $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ pseudoscalar mixing angle and the gluonium content of the $\eta^\prime$ meson are deduced from an updated phenomenological analysis of $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. In absence of gluonium,…
The resonance $\Delta(1232)$ with spin-parity ${3 \over 2}^+$, which contributes dominantly to the reactions like $\gamma N \to \pi N$ and $NN \to NN\pi$ at intermediate energies, may be expected to be produced in characteristically…
A complete and critical survey is presented of all half-life, decay-energy and branching-ratio measurements related to 20 superallowed decays; no measurements are ignored, though some are rejected for cause and others updated. A new…
The $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ mixing angle is deduced from an updated phenomenological analysis of $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. Corrections due to non-ideal $\omega$-$\phi$ mixing are confirmed to be crucial to find…
Motivated by the possibility that it may be misleading to assume SU(3) symmetry in the analysis of hyperon \beta-decays, we study the sensitivity of the polarized parton densities, derived from the world data on inclusive polarized deep…
We describe an experiment that has set new limits on the time reversal invariance violating D coefficient in neutron beta-decay. The emiT experiment measured the angular correlation J . p_e x p_p using an octagonal symmetry that optimizes…
We sketch a recent sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of the heavy pseudoscalar mesons D, D_s, B, and B_s from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents [1]. Our main emphasis lies on the control over all the…
We show that the model which naturally explains the $\bar u \ne \bar d$ asymmetry in the nucleon and is in quantitative agreement with the Gottfried sum rule data, also predicts that in the proton $\Delta \bar u > 0 > \Delta \bar s > \Delta…
The QCD sum rule is applied to the H dibaryon and is compared to the flavor non-singlet di-nucleon. We find that the H dibaryon is almost degenerate to the di-nucleon in the $SU(3)_{flavor}$ limit and therefore is not deeply bound as far as…
We obtain a general rule that the O(1/log m_h) term due to the current \bar{h}\gamma_\mu\gamma_5h of a mass-m_h quark h in f-flavour theory is -3\bar{g}^2_f(m_h)/{2\pi^2(33-2f)} times the flavour singlet current of the residual…
Background: Time-reversal-invariance violation, or equivalently CP violation, may explain the observed cosmological baryon asymmetry as well as signal physics beyond the Standard Model. In the decay of polarized neutrons, the triple…
Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave-functions while the charge operators maintain a symmetric structure. Sizable symmetry…
We study extractions of |V_us| based on finite energy sum rule (FESR) analyses of hadronic tau decay data. We show (i) that the ``(0,0) spectral weight'' implementation (proposed previously in the literature as a favorable version of this…
Prompted by recent measurements, we have surveyed world data and calculated radiative and isospin-symmetry breaking corrections for the superallowed 0+ -to- 0+ Fermi transitions from 42Ti, 46Cr, 50Fe and 54Ni. This increases the number of…
Theories with non-Abelian flavour symmetries lead at zeroth order to neutrino degeneracy and massless charged fermions. The flavour symmetry is spontaneously broken sequentially to give hierarchies $\Delta m_{atm}^2 \gg \Delta m_{\odot}^2$…
