We focus on the chiral and heavy quark mass expansion of mesons masses and decay constants. We propose a light-front QCD formalism for the evaluation of these quantities, consistent with chiral perturbation theory and heavy quark effective…
We study the role of a possible nonet of light scalar mesons in the still interesting $\eta \to 3\pi$ decay process, with the primary motivation of learning more about the scalars themselves. The framework is a conventional non-linear…

Within an effective non-linear chiral model, we evaluate nuclear matter parameters exploiting the uncertainties in the nuclear saturation properties. The model is sternly constrained with minimal free parameters, which display the interlink…
It has been commonly assumed that pseudoscalar contributions to the leptonic decay of charged mesons, like pions and kaons, is strongly constrained due to the helicity suppression present in the ratio $R_{l/l'} = \Gamma(P \rightarrow…

We study the origins of the inaccuracies of Schwinger's nonet mass, and the Sakurai mass-mixing angle, formulae for the pseudoscalar meson nonet, and suggest new versions of them, modified by the inclusion of the pseudoscalar decay…

We discuss the role of meson exchange mechanisms in $\gamma \gamma \to \gamma \gamma$ scattering. Several pseudoscalar ($\pi^0$, $\eta$, $\eta'(958)$, $\eta_c(1S)$, $\eta_c(2S)$), scalar ($f_{0}(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$, $f_0(1370)$,…
Interactions of $a_2, K^*_2, f_2$ and $f_2'$ tensor-mesons with low-energy $\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$ pseudo-scalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a chiral Lagrangian of tensor mesons in which the tensor mesons are treated…
We calculate the effective potentials of the octet baryon and heavy meson systems using the chiral effective field theory up to the next-to-leading order. We consider the contact terms, one-pseudoscalar-meson and two-pseudoscalar-meson…
Electromagnetic effects in the leptonic decay rates $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ and $K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ are evaluated for the first time on the lattice. Following a method recently proposed in Ref. [1] the emission of virtual photons at leading…
We discuss the effective field theory (EFT) for nuclear beta decay. The general quark-level EFT describing charged-current interactions between quarks and leptons is matched to the nucleon-level non-relativistic EFT at the O(MeV) momentum…
Radiative decays of pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated in the framework of the chiral Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We use the amplitude for triangle quark loops of anomalous type. In evaluating these loop integrals we use two…
The $\eta -\eta^{\prime}$ mixing mass term due to the derivative coupling $SU(3)\times SU(3)$ symmetry breaking term, produces an additional momentum-dependent pole term for processes with $\eta^{\prime}$, but is suppressed in the $\eta$…
Electrons interact strongly with their environment. The result of these interactions is, most of the time, encoded in an effective mass. In non-relativistic systems, as in condensed matter, the electrons plus interactions form a…
