We present a model of fermion masses based on a minimal, non-Abelian discrete symmetry that reproduces the Yukawa matrices usually associated with U(2) theories of flavor. Mass and mixing angle relations that follow from ...

In our quest to win a deeper understanding of how QCD actually works, the study of the binding of heavy quarkonia and heavy-flavor hadrons to atomic nuclei offers enormous promise. Modern experimental facilities such as ...

Investigation of invariant cross-sections for production of K*- and K*0, in the fragmentation region of the proton, in p - p and γ - p reactions, gives a direct and unambiguous probe to the symmetry breaking of the nucleon ...

We present a study of the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of charmed hypernuclei using a relativistic formalism. We work within the framework of the independent particle shell model and employ a (pi, K) one-meson-exchange ...

After a brief review of B-s(0)-(B) over bar (0)(s) oscillations, we discuss the weak decays B-s(0) -> J/psi phi and B-s(0) -> J/psi f(0)(980) and the ratio R-f0/phi of their decay rates in the light of recent measurements ...
