Magnetic moments of baryons in the ground-state octet and decuplet are calculated in a light-front framework. We investigate the effects of quark mass variation both in the current operator and in the wavefunctions. A simple fit uses single…

We use a bag model to study flavoured mesonic $(Qq\bar q\bar q)$ and baryonic $({\overline Q}qqqq)$ states, where one heavy quark $Q$ is associated with light quarks or antiquarks, and search for possible stable multiquarks. No bound state…

We investigate baryon-baryon (BB) interactions in the flavor SU(3) symmetric world, by using the 3-flavor full QCD simulations. In the SU(3) limit, six independent two-baryon states exist for a given orbital angular momentum. We forcus on…
We study the flavor physics in two extensions of the quark sector of the Standard Model (SM): a four generation model and a model with a single vector--like down--type quark (VDQ). In our analysis we take into account the experimental…
Ratios of branching fractions of semileptonic B decays, $(B \to H \mu \mu)$ over $(B \to H ee)$ with $H=K, K^*,X_s, K_0(1430), \phi, \ldots$ are sensitive probes of lepton universality. In the Standard Model, the underlying flavor changing…

The electroweak theory contains too many empirical parameters. Most of them are related to the flavor part of particle physics. In this paper we discuss a relevant simple idea: the complicated system of actual dimensionless, small versus…
