The nonmesonic weak decay of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei is studied in a shell model framework. A complete strangeness-changing weak $\Lambda N \to NN$ transition potential, based on one boson exchange, is constructed by including the exchange of…
Properties of hypernuclei are studied in the context of a chiral Lagrangian which successfully describes ordinary nuclei. Lambda-Sigma^0 mixing arises from nondiagonal vertices in flavor space induced by the vector mesons and by the…
In this work we study an effective version of the 3-3-1 model, in which the particle content is the same of the 2HDM. We show that the inherited structure from the $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X$ gauge group has a series of…
We consider the problem of neutrino masses and mixing within the framework of a non-minimal supersymmetric SU(5) model extended by adding a set of 1,24 chiral superfields accommodating three right-handed neutrinos. A Type I+III see-saw…
We discuss the vacuum structure of the SU(6) model, a chiral gauge theory, from the perspective of anomaly matching. To this end, we first identify all possible 't Hooft anomalies in the UV theory using the Stora-Zumino procedure.…
We discuss scalar mesons properties on the light of chiral dynamics. Considering them as the chiral partners of pseudo-scalar mesons we propose an explanation to their unusual properties based on non-trivial vacuum effects coming from the…
The analysis of the extremal structure of the scalar potentials of gauged maximally extended supergravity models in five, four, and three dimensions, and hence the determination of possible vacuum states of these models is a computationally…
We study the lowest dimensional typical and atypical representations of SU(5/3) superalgebra as a possible unified gauge theory having a natural SU(5) subalgebra with SU(3) extra structure, which will be used to accommodate three…
We consider the extension of the Standard electroweak Model through an $SU(2)$ quadruplet of scalars with hypercharge either $3/2$ or $1/2$ (with an additional reflection symmetry in the latter case). We establish, through $\textit{exact…
Applications of rotational $SU(3)$ symmetry in nuclei, using Elliott's $SU(3)$ or pseudo-$SU(3)$ or proxy-$SU(3)$ model, often need just the lowest or leading $SU(3)$ irreducible representation (irrep) $(\lambda_H, \mu_H)$. For nucleons in…
The lightest scalar and pseudoscalar nonets are discussed within the [A framework of the broken old UxU3 linear sigma model, and it is shown that already at the tree level this model works remarkably well predicting scalar masses and…
Dispersion relations provide a powerful tool to describe the low-energy structure of hadrons. We review the status of the strange vector form factors of the nucleon in dispersion theory. We also comment on open questions and the relation to…
Hot hypernuclear matter is investigated in an explicit SU(3) quark model based on a mean field description of nonoverlapping baryon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of scalar $\sigma, \zeta$ and vector $\omega, \phi$ mesons. The…
Analyses of comprehensive sets of strong-interaction data consisting of level shifts, widths and yields in strange atoms of K mesons and Sigma hyperons are reviewed. The introduction of density dependent optical potentials, in both cases,…
We perform a study of infinite hadronic matter, finite nuclei and hypernuclei with an improved method of calculating the effective baryon mass. A detailed study of the predictions of the model is made in comparison with the available data…
Meson properties are considered within a U(3)\times U(3) Linear Sigma Model(LSM). The importance of the U_A(1)-breaking term and the OZI rule violating term in the generation of meson masses and mixing angles is stressed. The LSM parameters…
We consider a supersymmetric version of the recently proposed SU(3) X U(1) extended gauge model. We show that it is possible to have only two Higgs doublets at the SU(2) X U(1) energy scale but they are not those of the minimal…
We investigate three classes of supersymmetric models which can be obtained by breaking the chiral SU(2k+3) gauge theories with one antisymmetric tensor and 2k-1 antifundamentals. For N=3, the chiral SU(2k)$\times$SU(3)$\times$U(1) theories…
The proxy-SU(3) symmetry predicts, in a parameter-free way, the collective deformation variables beta and gamma in even-even atomic nuclei away from closed shells based on the highest weight irreducible representations (irreps) of SU(3) in…
We explore the low energy phenomenology of an F-theory based SU(5) model which, in addition to the known quarks and leptons, contains Standard Model singlets, and vector-like color triplets and SU(2) doublets. Depending on their masses and…
