We develop some ideas about gauge symmetry in the context of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism in the Hamiltonian formalism. One great benefit of this formalism is that it pairs momentum and configurational degrees of freedom, so that a…
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
We study charmonium correlators at finite temperature using quenched lattice QCD simulations. Two analysis procedures are applied to extract information on the spectral function: the maximum entropy method, and the $\chi^2$ fit analyses…
In this work, we use the $C^3P_{\,0}$ model to calculate the decay widths of the low lying charmonium $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ states, nominally $J/\psi(1S)$ and $\psi(2S)$, in the following common channels: $\rho\,\pi$, $\omega\,\eta$,…
We present a detailed investigation of the quark mass-dependence of charmonium correlators in Euclidean-time obtained using a potential model, as well as the comparison with results on isotropic lattice calculations performed at several…
We consider the non-relativistic limit of the QCD Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge, to describe radiative transitions between conventional charmonium states and from the lowest multiplet of $c\bar{c}$ hybrids to charmonium mesons. The…
We analyze nonleptonic $B_s$ decays to a charmonium state and a light meson, induced by the $b \to c {\bar c}s$ transition, which are useful to access the $B_s$-${\bar B}_s$ mixing phase $\beta_s$. We use generalized factorization and…
Measurements of $\psi$ and $\psi'$ production from experiment NA50 at the CERN SPS are compared to predictions based on a hadronic model of charmonium suppression by Vogt and myself. Data on centrality dependence and total cross sections…
Due to larger mass and earlier production, heavy quark(quarkonium) can be sensitive probes to investigate the fast decaying electromagnetic and vortical fields produced in heavy-ion collisions. The non-relativistic Schroedinger-like…
Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson to charmonium and D mesons are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The decay form factors are explicitly expressed through the overlap integrals of the meson wave…

We present our most recent results on the charmonium spectrum using relativistic Wilson fermions. We study the dependence of the spectrum on the charm quark mass and the Wohlert-Sheikholeslami improvement term.

Based on $\psi(3686)$ decays of 106 million, the 1.31 billion J/psi events and a data sample of $\psi(3770)$ with $2.9~fb^{-1}$ integrated luminosity, many analyses are performed. Exclusively baryonic decays of the $\psi(3770)$, the…
We present a lattice QCD study of dilepton production in charmonium transitions, specifically focusing on the $1^{+-} \to 0^{-+}$ and $1^{++} \to 1^{--}$ processes: $h_c \to \eta_c \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $\chi_{c1} \to J/\psi \ell^+ \ell^-$,…
We develop a unified approach for establishing rates of decay for the Fourier transform of a wide class of dynamically defined measures. Among the key features of the method is the systematic use of the $L^2$-flattening theorem obtained in…
The charmonium (bottomonim) binding at finite temperature is studied with static potentials extracted from the lattice QCD data of Kaczmarek et al. The bottomonium spectrum is also studied. This is relevant for Hard Probes in Heavy Ion…
We report here our lattice simulation on the charmonium spectra in the quenched approximation. Because the full adjustment on the nonperturbative parameters such as $C_E$, $C_B$, $m_0a_s$ and $r_s$ needs many calculation time, we only…
We study the charmonium properties at finite temperature using quenched lattice QCD simulations. Although a simple potential model analysis indicates no bound state at $T>1.05T_c$, our analyses of the spatial correlation between quark and…
A study of $B^+ \rightarrow J/\psi \eta K^+$ decays, followed by $J/\psi \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $\eta \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$, is performed using a dataset collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at…
