Predictions of glueball decay rates in the holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model for low-energy QCD can be uniquely extended to include finite quark masses up to an as yet undetermined parameter in the coupling of glueballs to the…
The ratios of partial widths for the decay of a glueball into two pseudoscalar mesons are calculated under the assumption that the production of light quark pairs ($u\bar u,d\bar d,s\bar s$) in soft gluon-\-induced reactions goes on within…
A large number of new experimental data on $B$ decay into two light pesudoscalar ($P$) mesons have been collected by the LHCb collaboration. Besides confirming information on $B_{u,d} \to PP$ decays obtained earlier by B-factories at KEK…
We determine the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle via a procedure relatively independent of theoretical assumptions by simultaneously fitting $\eta- eta'$ reactions involving the anomaly--$\eta,\eta'\to\gamma\gamma, \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$. We extract…
We present SU(3) gluon propagators calculated on 48*48*48*N_t lattices at beta=6.8 where N_t=64 (corresponding the confinement phase) and N_t=16 (deconfinement) with the bare gauge parameter,alpha, set to be 0.1. In order to avoid Gribov…
We amend a recent dispersive analysis of the anomalous $\eta$ decay process $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ by the effects of the $a_2$ tensor meson, the lowest-lying resonance that can contribute in the $\pi\eta$ system. While the net effects on…
The results of calculation of light gluino contributions to Gamma(Z--->hadrons) and Gamma(tau--->hadrons) to O(alpha_s^3) are presented. The net effect in the case of Z decay is noticeable. For the tau width the effect is very large and, if…
A constituent gluon model that is informed by recent lattice field theory is developed. The model is then used to compute hybrid strong decay widths, that can be useful for the GlueX collaboration at Jefferson Lab and the PANDA…
In view of important implications in the B decay, the 0-0- decay modes of J/psi are analyzed with broken flavor SU(3) symmetry in search for long-distance final-state interactions. If we impose one mild theoretical constraint on the…
We study the radiative decays $h_{c}\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{(\prime)}$ in the framework of perturbative QCD and evaluate analytically the one-loop integrals with the light quark masses kept. Interestingly, the branching ratios…
Currently, the long-standing issue concerning the size of the gluonic content of the eta' and eta mesons remains unsettled. With this in mind we consider the central exclusive production (CEP) of eta', eta meson pairs in the perturbative…
The pseudoscalar mesons with the masses higher than 1 GeV are assumed to belong to the meson decuplet including the glueball as the basis state supplementing the standard $SU(3)_F$ nonet of light $q\bar{q}$ states $(u,d,s)$. The decuplet is…
Combining three mechanisms, we reanalysis processes of $B \to \eta^{\prime} K(K^*),\eta K(K^*)$ and calculate their branching ratios. The results are compared with other mechanisms in the literature. The striking feature of the gluon fusion…
Exclusive processes at large momentum transfer Q factor into perturbatively calculable short-distance parts and long-distance hadronic wave functions. Usually, only contributions from the leading Fock states have to be included to leading…
The decays of $\Upsilon(1s)\to\gamma(\eta',\eta)$ are studied by an approach which has successfully predicted the ratio $\frac{\Gamma(J/\psi\to\gamma\eta')}{\Gamma(J/\psi\to\gamma\eta)}$. Strong dependence on quark mass has been found in…
We calculate the semileptonic form factors $f_+^{B\to \eta}(q^2)$ and $f_+^{B\to \eta'}(q^2)$ from QCD sum rules on the light-cone (LCSRs), to NLO in QCD, and for small to moderate q^2, $0\leq q^2\leq 16 {\rm GeV}^2$. We include in…
In inclusive decays of the $\Psi$ (3097), electromagnetic and gluonic annihilation amplitudes add incoherently, namely they are 90$^\circ$ out of phase. We argue that this incoherence must persist in each exclusive decay channel. For…
A quarkonium-gluonium mixing scheme previously developed to describe the characteristic of the pseudoscalar mesons is applied to axial and tensor mesons. The parameters of the model are determined by fitting the eigenvalues of a mass…
We study instanton contributions to hadronic decays of the scalar glueball, the pseudoscalar charmonium state $\eta_c$, and the scalar charmonium state $\chi_c$. Hadronic decays of the $\eta_c$ are of particular interest. The three main…
We derive an expression relating the transport parameter $\hat{q}$ and the shear viscosity $\eta$ of a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma. A deviation from this relation can be regarded as a quantitative measure of ``strong coupling'' of the…
