The mass modifications of the bottomonium states ($\Upsilon (NS)$,$N=1,2,3,4$ and $\Upsilon (1D)$) in magnetized nuclear matter are studied using chiral effective model. The in-medium masses are calculated from the medium modification of…
We study the shift in the $\Upsilon$ mass due to a non-zero charm quark mass. This shift affects the value of the $\bar{\rm MS}$ $b$-quark mass extracted from the $\Upsilon$ system by about -20 MeV, due to an incomplete cancellation of…
We use the method of QCD sum rules to investigate the isospin symmetry breaking of K and K* mesons. The electromagnetic effect, difference between up and down current-quark masses and difference between up and down quark condensates are…
The relation between the on-shell quark mass and the mass defined in the modified minimal subtraction scheme is computed up to order \alpha_s^3. Implications for the numerical values of the top and bottom quark masses are discussed. We show…
Using a self-consistent quark model for nuclear matter we investigate variations of the masses of the non-strange vector mesons, the hyperons and the nucleon in dense nuclear matter (up to four times the normal nuclear density). We find…
A recent chiral perturbation theory calculation of the in-medium quark condensate $<\bar q q>$ is extended to the isospin-asymmetric case of pure neutron matter. In contrast to the behavior in isospin-symmetric nuclear matter we find only…
It was found that the isoscalar-scalar and isovector-scalar mesons play significant roles in nuclear matter physics. However, the underlying structures of these resonances are not yet well understood. We construct a three-flavor baryonic…
We show that the recent observation of the time modulation of two-body weak decays of heavy ions reveals the mass content of the electron neutrinos via interference patterns in the recoiling ion wave function. From the modulation period we…
The past decade has provided a much clearer picture of the structure of high-momentum components in nucleons, associated with hard, short-distance interactions between pairs of nucleons. Recent Jefferson Lab data on light nuclei suggest a…
We compute a shift of baryon mass spectra due to quark masses in perturbation, in Sakai-Sugimoto model of holographic QCD. We find the shift for the ground state nucleons to be \delta M = 4.1 m_{\pi}^2 [GeV^{-1}], which is consistent with…
We present an updated analysis of the quark mass dependence of the nucleon mass and nucleon axial-vector coupling g_A, comparing different formulations of SU(2) Baryon Chiral Effective Field Theory, with and without explicit delta (1232)…
We examine the effect of isospin-violating meson-nucleon coupling constants and of $\pi$-$\eta$ mixing on the binding-energy differences of mirror nuclei in a model that possesses no contribution from $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing. The…
It is shown that the QCD anomaly may lead to an abnormal mixing behavior of the axial vector mesons similar to the pseudoscalar mesons. These mixing effects, involving a gluonic axial vector state, generate a non-vanishing strange quark…
Coulomb and mass difference corrections to low-energy pion-nucleon scattering are calculated and compared with previous work including potential models, dispersion relation methods and chiral perturbation theory calculations. Particular…
Recent data on cosmological variation of the electromagnetic fine structure constant from distant quasar (QSO) absorption spectra have inspired a more general discussion of possible variation of other constants. We discuss variation of…
We study the effects of strong magnetic fields on antikaon condensation in neutron star matter using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model describes a nuclear many-body system as nonoverlapping MIT bags in which quarks…
The question of isospin-symmetry breaking in nuclei of the $sd$ shell is addressed. We propose a new global parameterization of the isospin-nonconserving (INC) shell-model Hamiltonian which accurately describes experimentally known isobaric…
The relation between the on-shell and $\bar{\rm MS}$ mass can be expressed through scalar and vector part of the quark propagator. In principle these two-point functions have to be evaluated on-shell which is a non-trivial task at…
Under the assumptions that 1) the quark/lepton mass matrices take Froggatt-Nielsen's factorized power form \lambda^{\psi_i+\psi_j} with anomalous U(1) charges \psi_i, and 2) the U(1) charges \psi_i respect the SU(5) GUT structure, we show…
We present an improved method for handling off-shell effects in deep inelastic nuclear scattering. With a firm understanding of the effects of the nuclear wave function, including these off-shell corrections as well as binding and…
