We perform a non-perturbative calculation of the $J/\Psi-\pi$ cross section using a $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ effective Lagrangian. Our results differ from those of previous calculations, specially in the description of vertices involving pions.
We evaluate the drag and diffusion coefficients of a hot hadronic medium consisting of pions, nucleons, kaons and eta using open charm mesons as a probe. The interaction of the probe with the hadronic matter has been treated in the…
We study hadronic decays of mesons and baryons in the context of the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. Starting from a well-established effective interaction in rainbow-ladder truncation, we consistently calculate all ingredients of the…
Using the axial-vector coupling and the electromagnetic form factors of the D and D* mesons in 2+1 flavor Lattice QCD, we compute the D*D\pi, DD\rho and D*D*\rho coupling constants, which play an important role in describing the charm…
We derive the chiral effective Lagrangian for excited heavy-light mesons from QCD under proper approximations. We focus on the chiral partners with $j_l^P=\frac{3}{2}^+$ and $j_l^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ which amounts to ($1^+,2^+$) and ($1^-,2^-$)…
Many hadronic states observed since 2003, especially for the positive-parity charm-strange states $D_{s0}^\ast (2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$, do not conform with the conventional quark model expectations and raise various puzzles in charm…
We report the preliminary measurement by the FOCUS Collaboration (E831 at Fermilab) of masses and widths of the L=1 charm mesons $D_2^{*0}$ and $D_2^{*+}$. The fit of the invariant mass distribution requires an additional term to account…

We propose a modification of the mechanism of charmed quarks fragmentation into $D$ mesons in hadronic collisions. It is shown that the distinction in valence quark distributions in the initial $\pi^{\pm}$ and $K^{\pm}$ mesons leads to…
Strange and charmed baryon productions from proton-antiproton collisions are studied in the effective Lagrangian and Regge approaches. We include only the $t$-channel dynamics which is dominant for the diffractive region that is relevant in…

We compute the couplings $DD^*\pi$,$D_1D^*\pi$,$D^*D^*\pi$, $D_1 D_1\pi$ using QCD sum rules. These couplings are important inputs in the meson exchange model calculations used to estimate the amount of $J/\psi$ absorption due to pions and…
