Radiative magnetic dipole decays of heavy-light vector mesons into pseudoscalar mesons V -> P\gamma are considered within the relativistic quark model. The light quark is treated completely relativistically, while for the heavy quark the…
We study the classical decay of unstable scalar solitons in noncommutative field theory in 2+1 dimensions. This can, but does not have to, be viewed as a toy model for the decay of D-branes in string theory. In the limit that the…

We calculate semileptonic decays of light and heavy baryons in a relativistically covariant constituent quark model. The model is based on the Bethe-Salpeter-equation in instantaneous approximation. It generates satisfactory mass spectra…
In this article, we study the radiative transitions among the vector and scalar heavy quarkonium states with the covariant light-front quark model. In calculations, we observe that the radiative decay widths are sensitive to the constituent…
We consider new modes of two-neutrino and neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decays in which one $\beta$ electron goes over to a continuous spectrum and the other occupies a vacant bound level of the daughter ion. We calculate the corresponding…
The lighter top squark in supersymmetry can live long enough to form hadronic bound states if it has no kinematically allowed two-body decays that conserve flavor. In this case, scalar stoponium may be observable through its diphoton decay…
We consider decays of the lowest-lying radially excited baryons. Assuming a single-quark decay approximation, and negligible configuration mixing, we make model-independent predictions for the partial decay widths to final states with a…
The transition magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of the radiative decays of the sextet heavy flavored spin 3/2 to the heavy spin 1/2 baryons are calculated within the light cone QCD sum rules approach. Using the obtained…
It is shown that, in the bound state picture, the $\Lambda_c(2593) \to\Lambda_c\gamma$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)\to\Lambda_c\gamma$ decays are severely suppressed. On the other hand, for their bottom counterparts, which are predicted to have…
We discuss various topics in the theory of heavy baryon decays. Among these are recent applications of the Relativistic Three Quark Model to semileptonic, nonleptonic, one-pion and one-photon transitions among heavy baryons, new higher…
We evaluate the complete spectrum of the Bc mesons, below the open flavor BD threshold, in a Bethe-Salpeter model. We make predictions for the radiative decay widths of the Bc excited states. We compare our results with those of other…
The radiative decays of $D^*$, $B^*$, and other excited heavy mesons are analyzed in a relativistic quark model for the light degrees of freedom and in the limit of heavy quark spin-flavor symmetry. The analysis of strong decays carried out…
We study the radiative decays of the decuplet $(3/2 \to 1/2 \gamma)$ using Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory (HBChPT). We emphasize the problems faced by the interacting spin 3/2 field theory. We argue that, to lowest order in the…
We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, $f_2/f_1$, and $g_1/f_1$, within a general framework of a chiral soliton model. All relevant parameters for the SU(3) baryon wave functions were unambiguously determined by using the…
A version of the bound state soliton model which allows both $\eta$ and $K$ bound states is used to study low partial wave octet baryon resonances. It is found that negative parity $S-$wave resonances are well described within this…
In a model in which leptons, quarks, and the recently introduced hyperquarks are built up from two fundamental spin 1/2 preons, the standard model weak gauge bosons emerge as preon bound states. In addition, the model predicts a host of new…
