The extracted value for the $g^{eff}_{\omega \rho\pi}$ effective coupling from experimental data, considering only the $\rho$ meson, resumes not only the $\rho$ meson effect but also all its additional radial excitation modes. By explicitly…
Isospin symmetry, as the most precise flavor symmetry, can be used to extract information about hadronic dynamics. The effective Hamiltonian for bottom quark weak decay is zero under the isospin lowering operators $I_-^n$, which allows us…

We discuss the possible symmetries of the effective lagrangian describing interacting pseudoscalar-, vector-, and axial-vector mesons. Specific choices of the parameters give rise to an $[SU(2)\otimes SU(2)]^3$ symmetry. This symmetry can…

We study the magnitudes of soft SUSY breaking parameters in heterotic string models with anomalous U(1) symmetry. In most cases, D-term contribution to soft scalar masses is expected to be comparable to or dominant over other contributions…
Using $(10\,087 \pm 44) \times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform the first amplitude analysis of the process $J/\psi\to\gamma\eta\pi^0$. The decay is dominated by the intermediate processes $J/\psi\to\pi^0…

We consider the virtual effects of a general type of Anomalous (triple) Gauge Couplings on various experimental observables in the process of electron-positron annihilation into a final fermion-antifermion state. We show that the use of a…
Isospin is an almost exact symmetry of strong interactions and the corrections to the isosymmetric limit are, in general, at the percent level. For several hadronic quantities, such as pseudoscalar meson masses or the kaon leptonic and…
Relatively simple models can be constructed in which supersymmetry is dynamically broken at energies of $10^5-10^7$ GeV. Models of this kind do not suffer from the naturalness and cosmological difficulties of conventional supergravity…
