The mass splittings of the pseudoscalar and vector D and B light-heavy quark systems have been calculated using the method of QCD sum rules. Electromagnetic, quark mass, and nonperturbative QCD effects are all included. The results are in…

Lattice calculations of heavy quark systems provide very good measures of the lattice spacing, a key element in recent determinations of the strong coupling constant using lattice methods. They also provide excellent testing grounds for…

We present a first calculation of the strange quark mass using domain wall fermions. This paper contains an overview of the domain wall discretization and a pedagogical presentation of the perturbative calculation necessary for computing…

Space-time variation of fundamental physical constants in expanding Universe is predicted by a number of popular models. The masses of second generation quarks are larger than first generation quark masses by several orders of magnitude,…

We evaluate lower bounds on the sum of the up and down quark masses. The bounds follow from the constraints provided by the dispersion relation obeyed by the two--point function of the scalar current density when combined with properties of…

Significative developments on the primordial black hole quantization seem to indicate that the structure formation in the universe behaves under a unified scheme. This leads to the existence of scaling relations, whose validity could offer…

We calculate the differential cross section of polarized light scattering from a cold and dense atomic ensemble. The regularities in the transformation of the cross section when increasing the size of the atomic ensemble are analyzed…

Strangelets (stable lumps of quark matter) can have masses and charges much higher than those of nuclei, but have very low charge-to-mass ratios. This is confirmed in a relativistic Thomas-Fermi model. The high charge allows astrophysical…

Scalar fields with $SU(2)_L$ quantum numbers provide several viable Dark Matter candidates around the TeV scale. Thanks to scalar quartic interactions, the observed relic density can be obtained for a large range of masses, which we…

In this talk I review several topics concerning the determination of quark masses by means of lattice QCD simulations, with particular focus on recently introduced techniques of non-perturbative renormalisation, the determination of heavy…

We present in this article an analysis of some of the properties of the density field realized in numerical simulations for power-law initial power-spectra in the case of a critical density universe. We compare our numerical results in the…

We present a fully non-perturbative computation of the mass of the b-quark in the quenched approximation. Our strategy starts from the matching of HQET to QCD in a finite volume and finally relates the quark mass to the spin averaged mass…

Light constituent quark masses and the corresponding dynamical quark masses are determined by data, the Quark-Level Linear $\sigma$ Model, and infrared QCD. This allows to define effective nonstrange and strange current quark masses which…

The quark-lepton mass problem and the ideas of mass protection are reviewed. The Multiple Point Principle is introduced and used within the Standard Model to predict the top quark and Higgs particle masses. We discuss the lightest family…

Although studied for many years the nature of the light scalar mesons remains controversial. Here we shall present a method, applicable for s-wave states located close to a threshold, that allows one to quantify the molecular part of a…

We study the mass spectrum of the quark sector in an special type I-like model with gauge symmetry $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X$. By considering couplings with scalar triplets at large ($\sim TeV$) and small ($\sim GeV$) scales,…

We propose a simple but realistic pattern of quark mass matrices at the string scale, which can be derived from orbifold models of superstring theory with no use of gauge symmetries. This pattern is left-right symmetric and preserves the…

In the light of several recent analyses pointing towards texture 4-zero Fritzsch-like quark mass matrices as the only viable structures for quark mass matrices, this work adopts a model independent approach to reconstruct an alternate and…

We present a factorisation formula for the dependence of light hadron masses and low energy hadronic scales on the mass $M$ of a heavy quark: apart from an overall factor $Q$, ratios such as $r_0(M)/r_0(0)$ are computable in perturbation…

The magnitude of $m_u,\,m_d$ and $m_s$ is discussed on the basis of Chiral Perturbation Theory. In particular, the claim that $m_u=0$ leads to a coherent picture for the low energy structure of QCD is examined in detail. It is pointed out…
