We have computed $ B_K $ with staggered fermions, using two different methods: both in the one spin trace form and two spin trace form. Renormalized results in both forms are in good agreement. The numerical simulations were performed on a…

We present an approach for computing the real parts of the nonleptonic B to DP and B to D-bar P (P=K,pi) decay amplitudes by using lattice QCD methods. While it remains very challenging to calculate the imaginary parts of these matrix…

In this work, we suggest that hard-pion chiral perturbation theory may be applicable to the real parts of nonleptonic B^{+} to D^{0}P^{+} and B^{+} to Dbar^{0}P^{+} (P=K,pi) decay amplitudes. These amplitudes play an important role in the…

We calculate the $B_{B}$ parameter, relevant for $\overline{B}^0$ -- $B^0$ mixing, from a lattice gauge theory simulation at $\beta = 6.0$. The bottom quarks are simulated in the static theory, the light quarks with Wilson fermions.…

We calculate the leading-order matrix element for the decay $B \to K^* \gamma$ in the quenched approximation of lattice QCD on a $24^3 \times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$, using an O(a)-improved fermion action. Extrapolating the quark masses…

Using standard group theoretical techniques we construct the exact wave function of the $[{\bf 70},1^-]$ multiplet in the orbital, spin and flavor space. This symmetric wave function is compared to that customarily used in the $1/N_c$…

In this note, we calculate the branching ratio of B_c\to J/\psi K in the framework of perturbative QCD approach based on k_T factorization. This decay can occur only via tree level diagrams in the Standard Model. We find that the branching…

We obtain equations of motion for the boost-invariant expansion of a system of chiral particles. Our analysis is based on the Boltzmann equation for left- and right-handed massless particles in the relaxation time approximation. We assume…

We study the unknown coupling constants that appear at order $p^4$ in the Chiral Perturbation Theory analysis of $K \to \pi \gamma^* \to \pi l^+ l^-$, $K^{+-} \to \pi^{+-} \gamma \gamma$ and $K \to \pi \pi \gamma$ decays. To that end, we…

We calculate nonperturbative ${\cal O}(\Lambda^2_{QCD}/m^2_c)$ corrections to the dilepton invariant mass spectrum and the forward-backward charge asymmetry in $B\to X_se^+e^-$ decay using a heavy quark expansion approach. The method has…

A $1/\N$ expansion of the chiral Lagrangian for baryons is formulated and used to study the low-energy dynamics of baryons interacting with the pion nonet $\pi$, $K$, $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ in a combined expansion in chiral symmetry…

Previously the quark and meson properties in a many quark system at finite temperature have been studied within effective QCD approaches in the Hartree approximation. In the present paper we consider the influence of the mesonic…

We calculate the semileptonic branching ratio and the charm counting of inclusive $B$ meson decays using the perturbative QCD formalism. For the nonleptonic decays, we employ the modified factorization theorem, in which Wilson coefficients…

A nonlocal chiral quark model is consistently extended beyond mean field using a strict 1/Nc expansion scheme. The parameters of the nonlocal model are refitted to the physical values of the pion mass and the weak pion decay constant. The…

We study chiral symmetry restoration in hot and dense quark matter using the von Neumann chirality entropy within the in-medium Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Starting from the lesser Green's function G<(k), we construct the…

We present results for the light quark masses and the neutral kaon mixing parameter $B_K$ from lattice QCD. Our data set includes lighter than physical light quark masses and 5 lattice spacings so that chiral extrapolation is not necessary…

In the limit of infinitely heavy b-quarks we compute the SU(3)-breaking ratio xi of neutral B-meson mixing matrix elements. We also present results for the ratio of decay constants f_{B_s}/f_{B_d}. Our calculation employs…

In the framework of phenomenological static and QCD-motivated model potentials for heavy quarkonium, we compute the $\bar{b}c$ mass spectrum as well as its $\QTR{rm}{1S}$ hyperfine splitting using the recently introduced shifted $l$-…

The analysis of hadronic interactions with effective field theory techniques is complicated by the appearance of a large number of low-energy constants, which are usually fitted to data. On the other hand, the large-$N_c$ limit imposes…

We report our final estimate of the b-quark mass from $N_f=2$ lattice QCD simulations using Heavy Quark Effective Theory non-perturbatively matched to QCD at $O(1/m_h)$. Treating systematic and statistical errors in a conservative manner,…
