Under certain circumstances, a three-body decay width can be approximated by an integral involving a product of two off-shell two-body decay widths. This ``angle-average'' approximation is used to calculate the $\pi NN$ decay width of the…
Dispersion relations---a corollary of unitarity and analyticity---are among the few methods which can be employed to study low energy processes in QCD. In this work we critically revisit the calculation of decay widths of a hypothetical…
The total decay widths of the charmed baryons are calculated by means of the $^3P_0$ model. Our calculations consider in the final states: the charmed baryon-(vector/pseudoscalar) meson pairs and the (octet/ decuplet)…

A derivative nonlinear Schrodinger model is shown to support localized N-body bound states for several ranges (called bands) of the coupling constant eta. The ranges of eta within each band can be completely determined using number…
In this paper we study the number of bound states for potentials in one and two spatial dimensions. We first show that in addition to the well-known fact that an arbitrarily weak attractive potential has a bound state, it is easy to…

In this talk I discuss three-body decays of the SUSY Higgs bosons which proceed via intermediate two-body states in which one of the particles is off-mass-shell. Some of these decays will be shown to have substantial branching ratios in…
The strong decay amplitudes and radiative partial widths of orbital and radially excited states of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons are presented. These results are obtained with a nonrelativistic potential quark model, the nonrelativistic reduction of…
Three-body resonances are ubiquitous in quantum few-body physics and are characterized by a finite lifetime before decaying into continuum states of their composing subsystems. In this work we present a theoretical study on the possibility…
Theoretical predictions for the decay width of Standard Model Higgs boson into bottom quarks and tau-leptons, in the case when M_H< 2M_W, are briefly reviewed. The effects of higher order perturbative QCD (up to alpha_s^4-level) and QED…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model generally give a theoretical upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass which may be uncomfortably close to the current experimental lower bound of $m_h$ > 114 GeV. Here we show ways in…
We present results of a decay width calculation for a hybrid exotic meson(h, JPC=1-+) in the decay channel h to pi+a1. This calculation uses quenched lattice QCD and Luescher's finite box method. Operators for the h and pi+a1 states are…
A complete calculation of the rare three-body decay t --> c h gamma is presented in the framework of the standard model. In the unitary gauge, such a calculation involves about 20 Feynman diagrams. We also calculate this decay in the…
The radiative decay width of a heavy Higgs boson $H \rightarrow W^+W^-\gamma$ for a {\it hard} photon is calculated in the Standard Model and its extension with anomalous $\gamma WW$ couplings. Its dependence on the Higgs mass, the two…
In a general supersymmetric standard model there is an upper bound $m_h$ on the tree level mass of the $CP=+1$ lightest Higgs boson which depends on the electroweak scale, $\tan \beta$ and the gauge and Yukawa couplings of the theory. When…
We derive a condition for the existence of completely or exponentially localised Majorana bound states (with the potential for non-Abelian statistics) in a generic many-body system. We discuss the relationship between the existence of these…
We investigate the spectrum and eigenstates of a Bose-Hubbard chain containing two bosons with fixed boundary conditions. In the noninteracting case the eigenstates of the system define a two-dimensional normal-mode space. For the…
