Using a quite accurate flavour-independence of $nS$-level mass differences in heavy quarkonia and a corresponding quasiclassical expression for the heavy quark binding energy, one shows that experimental data on masses of mesons with heavy…
There are indications that hadronic loops in some electroweak observables are almost saturated by parton level effects. Taking this as the hypothesis for this work, we propose a genuine parton level estimate of the hadronic light-by-light…

The masses of $uudd\bar s $ and $uudd\bar d$ pentaquarks are evaluated in a framework of the Effective Hamiltonian approach to QCD using the Jaffe-Wilczek $[ud]^2\bar q$ approximation. The mass of the $[ud]^2\bar s$ state is found to be…
