This paper presents a first study of the masses and decay constants of the charged, or flavor-off-diagonal, pseudoscalar mesons to two loops for two flavors of sea-quarks, in Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory (PQ$\chi$PT).…
We investigate what could be learned about the absolute scale of neutrino masses from comparisons among the patterns within quark and lepton mass hierarchies. First, we observe that the existing information on neutrino masses fits quite…
Using a set of rephasing-invariant variables, it is shown that the renormalization group equations for quark mixing parameters can be written in a form that is compact, in addition to having simple properties under flavor permutation. We…
We develop a new formulation of the quark coalescence model by including the quark number conservation in order to describe the hadronization of the bulk of the quark-gluon plasma. The scalings between hadron and quark phase space…
We present a model of quark and squark masses which is based on a non-Abelian horizontal symmetry. It leads to order of magnitude relations between quark mass ratios and mixing angles and to the successful exact relation $\sin…
The quark Dyson-Schwinger equation shows that there are distinct differences between light and heavy quarks. The dynamical mass function of the light quarks is characterised by a sharp increase below 1 GeV, whereas the mass function of the…
We derive empirical relationships among elementary fermion masses based on relatively simple exponential formulae involving quantum numbers for the electromagnetic and strong interactions, with a weak correction factor motivated by a simple…
We present a quark-quark interaction for the complete study of the meson spectra, from the light to the heavy sector. We compare the quark model predictions against well-established $q\bar q$ experimental data. This allows to identify…
In order to get a more realistic description of the hadron spectrum we extend a constituent-quark model by explicit mesonic degrees of freedom. The resulting system of constituent (anti)quarks, which are subject to an instantaneous…
Prompted by the recent surprising results in QCD spectroscopy, we extend to heavy flavors the hadron mass relations showing that the constituent quark mass differences and ratios have the same values when obtained from mesons and baryons.…
Recent experimental improvements on K-decay data allow for a precise extraction of the strangeness-changing scalar K pi form factor and the related strange scalar spectral function. On the basis of this scalar as well as the corresponding…
We use both old and new theoretical developments in QCD dispersion relation constraints on the scalar form factor in the decay K --> \pi l \nu_l to obtain constraints on the strange quark mass. The perturbative QCD side of the calculation…
We present results for the masses of pseudoscalar mesons in twisted mass lattice QCD with a degenerate doublet of u and d quarks and a non-degenerate doublet of s and c quarks in the framework of next-to-leading order chiral perturbation…
The quark and charged lepton masses and the angles and phase of the CKM mixing matrix are nicely reproduced in a model which assumes SU(3)xSU(3) flavour symmetry broken by the v.e.v.'s of fields in its bi-fundamental representation. The…
We discuss the sensitivity of nucleon properties (mass, magnetic moments and electromagnetic form factors) on the variation of the pseudoscalar meson masses in the context of the perturbative chiral quark model. The obtained results are…
The effective action of the linear meson model generates the mesonic n-point functions with all quantum effects included. Based on chiral symmetry and a systematic quark mass expansion we derive relations between meson masses and decay…
The strange quark mass is determined from a QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) optimized to reduce considerably the systematic uncertainties arising from the hadronic resonance sector, as well as from the poor convergence of the pseudoscalar…
Most models for the strong decay of mesons, as well as unquenched quark models which incorporate the effect of coupling to meson-meson channels, assume that the coupling is driven by the creation of a quark-antiquark pair in spin triplet.…
A recently proposed modified perturbation expansion for QCD is employed to evaluate the quark self-energies. Results of the order of 1/3 of the nucleon mass are obtained for the effective masses of the up and down quarks in a first…
The ${q}\bar{q}$ spectrum is studied within a chiral constituent quark model. It provides with a good fit of the available experimental data from light (vector and pseudoscalar) to heavy mesons including some recent results on charmonium.…
