A wealth of data on hadronic b -> s transitions is available from the B-factories and will be improved at the LHCb experiment and possible future super-B-factories. I review the theory of these decays as it pertains to the search for physics beyond the Standard Model and various puzzles in the present data.
In this talk I review the recent progress on the numerical evaluation of the Hadronic Light-by-Light contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and I discuss the role of experimental data on the accuracy of its determination.
Transverse single-spin asymmetries (SSA) are expected to be small in perturbative QCD because of the chiral nature of the theory. Experiment shows large transverse SSA for particle produced in special kinematics. This contribution reviews the experimental situation and provide an outlook for future measurements.
The Hadronic Contribution to the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment and to the Running Electromagnetic Fine Structure Constant at MZ - Overview and Latest Results
Hadronic decays of the highly excited $2D$ $D_s$ resonances have been studied in the $^3P_0$ model. Widths of all possible hadronic decay channels of the $2D$ $D_s$ have been computed. $D^*_{s1}(2700)$, $D^*_{s1}(2860)$, $D^*_{s3}(2860)$, $D(2600)$ and $D(2750)$ can be produced from hadronic decays of the $2D$ $D_s$, and relevant hadronic decay widths have been particularly paid attention to. The hadronic decay widths of $2D$ $D_s$ to $D(2600)$ or $D(2750)$ may be large, and the numerical results are different in different assignments of $D(2600)$ and $D(2750)$. The hadronic decay widths of $2…
We compute four-loop corrections to the hadronic decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson which are induced by effective couplings to bottom quarks and gluons, mediated by the top quark. Our numerical results are comparable in size to the purely massless contributions which have been known for a few years. The results presented in this paper complete the order $α_s^4$ corrections to the hadronic Higgs boson decay.
In this study, we have investigated the two-body hadronic decay of the charged kaon, $ K^{+}\rightarrowπ^{+}+π^{0} $, in the presence of a laser field with circular polarization. We have derived, by analytical techniques, the laser-assisted decay width and the branching ratio of the charged kaon decay via the two-body hadronic channel. We have also taken into consideration the impressive results obtained for the laser-assisted charged kaon decay via the leptonic mode in order to understand more clearly the effect of the laser field on the quantities related to the charged kaon decay such as th…
The nonleptonic decays of $Ξ_c^0$ and $Λ_c^+$ that are dominated by $W$-exchange are studied. In particular, we anlayse the decay modes $Ξ_c^0 \rightarrow Ξ^{*-} π^+, Σ^{*+}K^-, Ω^-K^+$ and $Λ_c^+\rightarrow Σ^0π^+, Ξ^0 K^+$, $Ξ^0_c\rightarrow Σ^+K^-$.
The newly observed hidden-charm meson Zc(3900) with quantum numbers J(P) = 1(+) is considered as a hadronic molecule composed of DD*. We give detailed predictions for the decay modes Zc(+) -> J/psi + pi(+) + gamma and Zc(+) -> J/psi + pi(+) + l(+) + l(-) (l = e, mu) in a phenomenological Lagrangian approach.
