Nucleon matrix elements of various four-quark operators are evaluated in quenched lattice QCD using Wilson fermions. Some of these operators give rise to twist-four contributions to nucleon structure functions. Furthermore, they bear…
We examine the impact of D-Dbar mixing in the extraction of the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle with B- ->D(*)K(*)- and B- ->D(*)pi- decays. We point out that the leading corrections, linear in the small mixing parameters x=Delta…
Baryons can be described within several theoretical frameworks. Among them, the constituent approach is widely used. In this context, we aim to evaluate the accuracy of a particular model of baryons: the quark-diquark approximation. It…
Several methods have been devised to measure the weak phase gamma using decays of the type B+- --> D K+-, where it is assumed that there is no mixing in the D0-D0bar system. However, when using these methods to uncover new physics, one must…
We study the fine splitting in charmonium spectrum in quark model with the channel coupling effect, including $DD$, $DD^*$, $D^*D^*$ and $D_sD_s$, $D_sD_s^*$, $D_s^*D_s^*$ channels. The interaction for channel coupling is constructed from…
The recently observed mass difference of the $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing is used to predict the branching ratios of the rare top quark decays $t\to u\gamma$ and $t\to ug$ in a model independent way using the effective Lagrangian approach.…
$D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing leads to the mass and width differences in the mass eigenstates of $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ mesons (measured by parameters $x^{~}_D$ and $y^{~}_D$ respectively), but their magnitudes cannot be reliably predicted by the…
We study the role of diquarks in light baryons through point to point baryon correlators. We contrast results from quenched simulations with ones with two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions. The scalar, pseudoscalar and axial vector…
We report on the construction of a factorization theorem for the contribution of the electromagnetic dipole operator ${\cal O}_7$ to the $\bar B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decay amplitude. The leading-order contribution from a QED box diagram…
We investigate contributions to diffractive scattering, which are odd under C- and P-parity. Comparison of p-$\bar p$ and p-p scattering indicates that these odderon contributions are very small and we show how a diquark clustering in the…
We discuss the contribution of OZI-suppressed diagrams to the hyperfine splitting of charmonium in lattice QCD. We study valence quark mass regions from strange to charm quark masses. No contribution of the disconnected diagram is seen in…
We propose a new method to extract $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters using the $D^0 \to \bar{K}{}^0 \pi^0$ decay with the $\bar{K}{}^0$ reconstructed in the semileptonic mode. Although a $K^0 \to \pi^\pm l^\mp \nu_l$ decay suffers from low…
We demonstrate how a time-dependent analysis of the decays $D^0 \to K^0_S K^\mp \pi^\pm$ can be used to determine the $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameter $y$ with a precision that is competitive with established methods. The proposed analysis…
A novel minimal-size pairing operator $\Delta^{\dagger}_{D0}$ with $d$-wave symmetry in CuO$_2$ planes is introduced. This pairing operator creates on-site Cooper pairs at the four oxygens that surround a copper atom. Via the time evolution…
A significant discrepancy, spanning multiple orders of magnitude, exists between the leading order contribution to the $D^0\overline{D^0}$ mixing parameters and experimental values. This is largely due to the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani (GIM)…
We compute the four-loop contribution to the electroweak $\rho$ parameter induced by the singlet diagrams of the $Z$-boson self-energy. The numerical impact on the weak mixing angle and the $W$-boson mass is small.
We summarise results of analyses of D0 meson mixing parameters performed by the BaBar collaboration.
The present study is devoted for an improved analysis of the self-interference contribution of the electromagnetic dipole operator O_7 to the double differential decay width $d\Gamma/(ds_1 ds_2)$ for the inclusive $\bar{B} \to X_s \gamma…
The study of neutral $D$-meson mixing provides a unique probe of long-distance effects in the charm sector, where Standard Model contributions are dominated by nonperturbative effects. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of using…
Inspired by the recent observation of the $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing, we explore the effects of colored scalars on the $\Delta C=2$ process in diquark models. As an illustration, we investigate the diquarks with the quantum numbers of (6, 1,…
