We consider the possibility that D^0 - anti-D^0 mixing undergoes resonant enhancement. Various scenarios are explored, including the potential effects of nearby pseudoscalar or scalar quark-antiquark (Q - anti-Q) resonances as well as of…
We consider a simple extension of the electroweak theory, incorporating one $SU(2)_L$ doublet of colour-octet scalars with Yukawa couplings satisfying the principle of minimal flavour violation. Using the HEPfit package, we perform a global…
In a separate paper we have discussed the possibility that six quark clusters can affect the rate of double-beta decay. In this article we develop the formalism needed in the evaluation of the energy of all six-quark cluster configurations,…
Motivated by recent experimental evidence for apparent $cc\bar c \bar c$ states at LHCb, CMS and ATLAS, we consider how the mass spectrum and decays of such states can be used to discriminate among their possible theoretical…
Diquark excitations of dense quark matter are considered in the framework of the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model with three types of massless quarks in the presense of a quark number chemical potential $\mu$. We investigate the effective action…
The phase diagram of dense QCD at nonvanishing temperatures and large quark chemical potentials is studied with Dyson-Schwinger equations for 2+1 quark flavors, focusing on color-superconducting phases with 2SC and CFL-like pairing. The…
We show that new physics which breaks the left-handed SU(3)_Q quark flavor symmetry induces contributions to CP violation in Delta F = 1 couplings which are approximately universal, in that they are not affected by flavor rotations between…
Chirally enhanced supersymmetric QCD corrections to FCNC processes are investigated in the framework of the MSSM with generic sources of flavor violation. These corrections arise from flavor-changing self-energy diagrams and can be absorbed…
The spectrum of meson and diquark excitations of dense quark matter is considered in the framework of the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model with three types of massless quarks in the presense of a quark number chemical potential $\mu$. We…
In this article, we study the masses and pole residues of the pseudoscalar-diquark-pseudoscalar-antidiquark type and vector-diquark-vector-antidiquark type scalar hidden-charm $cu\bar{c}\bar{d}$ ($cu\bar{c}\bar{s}$) tetraquark states with…
Inspired by the recent report of the exotic states $X_{0}(2900)$ and $X_{1}(2900)$ with four different quark flavors in the $D^{-}K^{+}$ invariant mass distributions of the decay process $B^{+}\rightarrow D^{+}D^{-}K^{+}$ by the LHCb…
We present first results for diquark correlation functions calculated in Landau gauge on the lattice. Masses have been extracted from the long distance behaviour of these correlation functions. We find that the ordering of diquark masses…
Dynamic AdS/QCD is a holographic model of strongly coupled gauge theories with the dynamics included through the running anomalous dimension of the quark bilinear, gamma. We apply it to describe the physics of massive quarks in the…
The mass spectra of singly charmed and bottom baryons, $\Lambda_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$ and $\Xi_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$, are investigated using a nonrelativistic potential model with a heavy quark and a light diquark. The masses of the scalar…
We investigate the possible ground states of QCD at asymptotic densities, where the theory is expected to exhibit color superconductivity. We characterize the color-flavor structure of possible diquark condensates, and find those that are…
In this work we study the collider phenomenology of color-octet scalars (sgluons) in supersymmetric models with Dirac gaugino masses that feature an explicitly broken $R$ symmetry ($R$-broken models). We construct such models by augmenting…
We investigate the effect of a magnetic field on cold dense three-flavor quark matter using an effective model with four-Fermi interactions with electric and color neutrality taken into account. The gap parameters Delta_1, Delta_2, and…
We propose a new non-Hermitian chiral random matrix model that describes single-flavor spin-one Cooper pairing of quarks. For three colors the model shows spontaneous breaking of color $\mathrm{SU}(3)_C$ and spin $\mathrm{SO}(3)_J$…
We apply a random matrix model to the study of the phase diagram of QCD with two colors, two flavors, and a small quark mass. Although the effects of temperature are only included schematically, this model reproduces most of the ground…
We consider a neutrino mass generating model which employs a scalar leptoquark, $\Delta$, and a scalar diquark, $S$. The new scalars $\Delta$ and $S$ carry the standard model $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ quantum numbers $(3,1,-1/3)$…
