Atomic parity violation (APV) provides a low-energy probe of the weak interaction between electrons and nuclei, complementary to collider tests of the Standard Model. Isotope-chain measurements are especially attractive because they test…

We apply the method of the QCD sum rule, in which positive- and negative-parity baryons couple with each other, to the flavor-octet hyperons and investigate the parity splittings. We also reexamine the nucleon in the method, which was…
Recent experiments suggest that certain data of $B \to \pi\pi,\pi K$ decays are inconsistent with the standard model expectations. We try to explain the discrepancies with R-parity violating suppersymmetry. By employing the QCD…
Measurements by various international groups of researchers determine the strength of the weak interaction of the neutron, which gives us unique information on the question of the quark mixing. Neutron decay experiments now challenge the…
