We motivate lattice QCD studies of the parity-violating pion-nucleon coupling constant and extend flavor-conserving hadronic parity-violation from QCD to partially-quenched QCD. The parity-violating pion-nucleon coupling and the anapole…

Weak interactions are expected to induce a parity violating pion-nucleon coupling, h_{\pi NN}^{(1)}. This coupling should be measurable in a proposed experiment to study the parity violating asymmetry A_\gamma in the process \vec n + p \to…
The \pi NN^* and \eta NN^* coupling constants are studied based on the two point functions between the vacuum and a one meson state in the soft meson limit. In terms of a suitably constructed interpolating field for the nucleon and…

We study the coupled pion-nucleon system (negative parity, isospin 1/2) based on a lattice QCD simulation for nf=2 mass degenerate light quarks. Both, standard 3-quarks baryon operators as well as meson-baryon (4+1)-quark operators are…

The history and phenomenology of hadronic parity nonconservation (PNC) is reviewed. We discuss the current status of the experimental tests and theory. We describe a re-analysis of the asymmetry for polarized proton-proton scattering that,…
The isovector time-reversal- and parity-violating pion-nucleon coupling $\bar{g}_{\pi}^{(1)}$ is uniquely sensitive to dimension six interactions between right-handed light quarks and the Standard Model Higgs doublet that naturally arises…
Coupling constants of the pseudoscalar mesons to the octet baryons are computed in the QCD sum rule approach. The pi-NN, eta-NN, pi-XiXi, eta-XiXi, pi-SigmaSigma, eta-SigmaSigma as well as pi-Lambda-Sigma couplings are studied. Determining…
We employ the light cone QCD sum rules to calculate $\Delta\pi N$ coupling constant by studying the two point correlation function between the vacuum and the pion state. Our result is consistent with the traditional QCD sum rules…
We investigate the size of potential higher pseudoscalar resonance contaminations of the estimates of isospin-conserving and isospin-violating $\pi NN$ couplings obtained using the 3-point function method in QCD sum rules. For the…
We study relationship between the physical quantities that characterize pion-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon interaction on the basis of the fact that nuclear forces in the nucleon-nucleon system at low energies are mainly determined by the…
New QCD sum rules for the nucleon axial-vector current coupling constants are derived. One set is derived from a generalized correlator of spin-1/2 interpolating fields, and the other with a mixed correlator of spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 fields.…
Light-cone QCD sum rules are employed to compute the strong coupling constants: g_{B^* B^* pi}, g_{B_1 B_0 pi} and g_{B_1 B^* pi}, where (B,B^*) and (B_0,B_1) are negative and positive parity (0^-,1^-) and (0^+,1^+) \bar qQ doublets. The…
A non-zero signal $A_\gamma^\mathrm{np}=(-3.0\pm1.4\pm0.2)\times 10^{-8}$ of the gamma-ray asymmetry in the neutron-proton capture was recently reported by the NPDGamma Collaboration which provides the first determination of the $\Delta…
We apply QCD factorization to the quasi two-body B ->(K pi) pi decays where the (K pi)-pair effective mass is limited to 1.8 GeV. Our strong interaction phases constrained by theory and pi-K experimental data yield useful information for…
