Di-gluon fusion mechanism might account for the large branching ratios of $B\to K \eta^{\prime}$. But because we know little about the effective $\eta^{\prime}gg$ vertex, there are large uncertainties in perturbative QCD estimations. In…
The unexpectedly large branching ratios for $B\to \eta' K (\eta' X_s)$ decays could be of gluonic origin. We study the implications for $B\to \eta K (\eta X_s)$ and $P K (PX_s)$, where $P$ is the pseudoscalar glueball. In the mechanism…
Since the calculation of $BR(B^- \to \eta^{\prime} K^-)$ in the framework of QCD improved factorization method, developed by Beneke et al., leads to numerical values much below the experimental data, we include two different contributions,…
We present a calculation of the process B --> D eta' within a heavy-light chiral quark model. We assume that the eta' has a large gluonic component, and its coupling is described via the glue-glue-eta' effective vertex. The main…
We propose a mechanism which can explain the large BR(B-> X_s eta')~ 10^(-3) observed by CLEO. In this mechanism, eta' is produced by the fusion of two gluons, one from QCD penguin b->sg and the other one emitted by the light quark inside…
We compute B->K eta' branching ratio using perturbative QCD approach. We show that a triangular relation among amplitudes for B^0->K^0 pi^0, B^0->K^0 eta, B^0->K^0 eta' receives large corrections from SU(3) breaking effects. If experimental…
Inspired by the new measurements on $B^{-}\to \eta^{(\prime)}\ell \bar\nu_{\ell}$ from the BaBar Collaboration, we examine the constraint on the flavor-singlet mechanism, proposed to understand the large branching ratios for $B\to…
The confinement mechanism proposed earlier by the author is applied to estimate the possible parameters of the confining SU(3)-gluonic field in an $\eta^\prime$-meson. For this aim the electric form factor of an $\eta^\prime$-meson is…
Using $(2.712\pm0.014)\times10^{9}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII, we find an evidence of the $\eta_{c}(2S)\to K^+ K^- \eta^{\prime}$ decay with a statistical significance of 3.1$\sigma$. Its…
An analysis of various decay processes is performed using the two mixing angle description of the $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ system, incorporating the link to the gluonic sector through anomalies. The agreement is excellent. For comparison with…
In this paper, we take into account the intrinsic charm and gluonic contents into the $\eta-\eta^\prime$ mixing scheme and formulate the tetramixing $\eta-\eta^\prime-G-\eta_c$ to study the mixing properties of $\eta^{(\prime)}$ mesons.…
We review the present understanding of etaprime and eta meson physics and these mesons as a probe of gluon dynamics in low-energy QCD. Recent highlights include the production mechanism of eta and etaprime mesons in proton-nucleon…
We compute power-suppressed corrections to the \eta\gamma and \eta^{\prime}\gamma transition form factors Q^2F_{\eta(\eta^{\prime})\gamma}(Q^2) arising from the end point regions x \to 0,1 by employing the infrared-renormalon approach. The…
We present an observation of $B\to\eta^\prime K^*$. The data sample corresponds to 232 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory at SLAC. We measure the branching fractions (in…
It has been realized for a long time that knowing the eta and eta^prime wave functions in terms of quark and gluon components probes our understanding of non-perturbative QCD dynamics. Great effort has been given to this challenge -- yet no…
We calculate the flavor-singlet contribution to the $B\to\eta^{(\prime)}$ transition form factors from the gluonic content of the $\eta^{(\prime)}$ meson in the large-recoil region using the perturbative QCD approach. The formulation for…
We study the contributions for $K\eta^{\prime}$ pair originating from the scalar intermediate state $K_0^{*}(1430)$ in the three-body decays $B\to K\eta^{\prime} h$ ($h=\pi, K$) within the perturbative QCD approach. The contribution of…
The observation by the CLEO Collaboration of the decays $B^{(+,0)} \to K^{(+,0)} \eta'$ is shown to imply a significant but still uncertain contribution from the flavor-SU(3)-singlet component of the $\eta'$. By comparing the rate for these…
We discuss gluon-gluon mechanisms for production of mesons with hidden strangeness, such as $\eta'$ and $\phi$ meson, in proton-proton collisions at large energies. The $g^* g^* \to \eta'$ and $g^* g^* \to \phi g$ mechanisms are considered…
The formalism for treating the leading-twist contributions of the two-gluon Fock components occurring in hard exclusive processes that involve eta and eta' mesons is reviewed. The calculation of the eta, eta'--photon transition form factor…
