We investigate isoscalar axial-vector mesons using a coupled-channel formalism. The kernel amplitudes are constructed from meson-exchange diagrams in the $t$- and $u$-channels, which are derived from effective Lagrangians based on hidden…
We test the one-loop chiral perturbation theory formula on unquenched lattice data of pseudoscalar meson decay constants. The chiral extrapolation including the effect of the chiral logarithm is attempted and its uncertainty is discussed.
It is shown that the low energy coefficients of the next-to-leading order (NLO) chiral perturbation theory needed to determine $\Delta I=1/2$, $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes can be fixed by calculating $K\pi\to\pi$ amplitudes on lattice.…

At small inter-parton distances, double parton distributions receive their dominant contribution from the splitting of a single parton. We compute this mechanism at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory for all colour configurations…
