The D0 collaboration has reported a 3.2 \sigma deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction in the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry. New physics beyond the SM in B_s - \bar B_s mixing is needed to explain the data. In this paper, we…
We study the conjectured "Insensitivity to Chiral Symmetry Breaking" in the highly excited light baryon spectrum. While the experimental spectrum is being measured at JLab and CBELSA/TAPS, this insensitivity remains to be computed…
We study in detail the prediction for the semileptonic decays $\bar{B} \to D (D^*) \pi \ell \bar{\nu}$ by heavy quark and chiral symmetry. The branching ratio for $\bar{B} \to D \pi \ell \bar{\nu}$ is quite significant, as big as…
A chiral fermion action allows one to do very clean studies of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. I will briefly describe how to compute with the overlap action (relatively) cheaply, and then turn to physics: Low modes of the Dirac operator…
We focus on a powerful aspect of chiral perturbation theory (chi PT) which provides us with a ``bridge'' over different reactions. For this purpose, we study a contact operator which contributes p-wave pi-production and several weak…
The parity-non-conserving (pnc) asymmetry in \vec{n} + p \to d+\gamma at thermal energies has recently been calculated using effective field-theory methods. A comparison of this calculation with much more elaborate calculations performed in…
The charge asymmetry in the differential cross section of high-energy $\mu^+\mu^-$ photoproduction in the electric field of a heavy atom is obtained. This asymmetry arises due to the Coulomb corrections to the amplitude of the process…
We develop Chiral Perturbation Theory for chirally broken theories with fermions in two different representations of the gauge group. Any such theory has a non-anomalous singlet $U(1)_A$ symmetry, yielding an additional Nambu-Goldstone…
We show a novel charge structure of baryons in electromagnetic field due to the chiral anomaly. A key connection is to treat baryons as solitons of mesons. We use Skyrmions to calculate the charge distributions in a single nucleon and find…
The mechanism of the chiral symmetry breaking is investigated in the strong-coupling Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. The Schwinger-Dyson equation in Landau gauge is employed in the real time formalism and is solved numerically…
We examine the recent suggestion that P- and CP-odd effects in QCD matter can induce electric charge asymmetry with respect to reaction plane in relativistic heavy ion collisions. General arguments are given which confirm that the angular…
The large N_c N=4 gauge theory with quenched N=2 quark matter in the presence of a magnetic field displays chiral symmetry breaking. We study the temperature and chemical potential dependence of this theory using its gravity dual (based on…
We provide a snapshot of recent progress in hadron physics made using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations, reviewing the generation of a quark anomalous chromomagnetic moment, which may explain the longstanding puzzle of the $a_1$-$\rho$ mass…
Chiral symmetry serves as a guiding principle in low-energy hadron dynamics. An effective lagrangian, which explicitly breaks chiral symmetry via a small mass term, allows for a systematic method of calculating higher order corrections to…
We extrapolate lattice calculations of electric charge radii of the spin-1/2 baryon octet to the physical regime. The extrapolation procedure incorporates chiral perturbation theory and heavy quark effective theory in the appropriate…
The partial width of the decay D^*+_s -> D^+_s pi^0 going through the violation of isotopical symmetry is computed with respect to the partial width of the radiative decay D^*+_s -> D^+_s gamma in the effective quark model with chiral…
We discuss the results of a systematic calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order amplitude for the pp -> pp\pi^0 S-wave production at the threshold in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. We find six new diagrams, two of which…
We consider the charge asymmetry in the differential cross section of the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$. Experimental data show large deviations from the results of the available theoretical calculations. Motivated by this fact,…
We show that chiral symmetry and gauge invariance enforce relations between the short-distance physics that occurs in a number of electroweak and pionic reactions on light nuclei. Within chiral perturbation theory this is manifested via the…
We discuss the gauge symmetry breaking via the Hosotani mechanism by using exact results on supersymmetric gauge theories based on the localization method. We use the theories on S^2 x S^1 Euclidean space, and study how the effective…
