We reconstruct the Standard Model (SM) quark masses and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix from a five-dimensional model, with the fifth dimension compactified on an S^1/Z_2 orbifold. Fermions are localized only at the orbifold…
Massive and massless vector particles, in the framework of generalized Weinberg-Tucker-Hammer equations, are considered in the Petiau-Duffin-Kemmer formalism. We obtain solutions of equations in the form of matrix-dyads. The Lagrangian is…
We investigate the properties of strange quark matter in a strong magnetic field with quark confinement by the density dependence of quark mass considering the total baryon number conservation, charge neutrality and chemical equilibrium.…
I review recent progresses in heavy quarks physics on the lattice. I focus on decay constants and form factors relevant for the extraction of CKM matrix elements from experimental data. B-\bar{B} mixing is also discussed. In the last part…
I give a brief overview of recent results from lattice QCD calculations which are relevant for the phenomenology of the Standard Model. I discuss, in particular, the lattice determination of light quark masses and the calculation of those…
Building on our successful technique to isolate the otherwise-elusive $\Lambda$(1405) using correlation matrix techniques and multiple source and sink smearings, we present calculations of the quark sector contributions to the electric form…
We propose a new discrete symmetry in the generation space of the fundamental fermions, consistent with the observed fermion mass spectrum. In the case of the quarks, the symmetry leads to the unique prediction of a flat CKM matrix at high…
Partition functions of two different matrix models for QCD with chemical potential are computed for an arbitrary number of quark and complex conjugate anti-quark flavors. In the large-N limit of weak nonhermiticity complete agreement is…
The momentum dependence of the quark self energy gives a physically motivated and consistent regularization of both the real and imaginary parts of the quark loop contribution to the meson action. We show that the amplitudes for anomalous…
We formulate general conditions under which the strong CP problem is solved by spontaneous CP violation. Quark-mass matrix elements are polynomials in the CP-breaking order parameters, engineered such that their determinant is a real…
In the current work, we present the influence of finite volume and magnetic field on the thermodynamic properties of isospin asymmetric quark matter using the Polyakov loop extended chiral SU(3) quark mean field (PCQMF) model at finite…

We calculate one-loop renormalization factors of several quark operators including bilinear, three- and four-quark operator for domain-wall fermion action. Since Green functions are constructed for external physical quark fields, our…
This paper proposes a novel matrix rank-one decomposition for quaternion Hermitian matrices, which admits a stronger property than the previous results in (sturm2003cones,huang2007complex,ai2011new). The enhanced property can be used to…
An updated heavy quark-antiquark potential is constructed by matching the short-distance perturbative part to long-distance lattice QCD results at an intermediate r scale. The static potential and the order 1/m potential are both analyzed…
If the standard model of quark interactions is supplemented by a discrete A_4 symmetry (which may be relevant for the lepton sector), the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak gauge symmetry allows arbitrary quark masses, but all mixing…
We clarify some aspects of the LSZ formalism and wave function renormalisation for unstable particles in the presence of electroweak interactions when mixing and CP violation are considered. We also analyse the renormalisation of the CKM…
A parameter free, model independent analysis of quark mass matrices is carried out. We find a representation in terms of a diagonal mass matrix for the down (up) quarks and a suitable matrix for the up (down) quarks, such that the mass…
Understanding the structure of the fermion mixing matrices is an important question in particle physics. The quark mixing matrix is approximately diagonal while the lepton mixing matrix has large off-diagonal elements. Attempting to…
