The top quark mass is one of the most intriguing parameters of the standard model (SM). Its
value indicates a Yukawa coupling close to unity, and the resulting strong ties to Higgs …

Chiral symmetry and its spontaneous breaking play an important role both in the light
hadron and heavy hadron systems. The chiral perturbation theory (χ PT) is the low energy …

The discrepancy between the Standard Model theory and experimental measurement of the
muon magnetic moment anomaly, a μ=(g μ-2)/2, is connected to precision electroweak (EW) …

Since the discovery of the first charmed meson in 1976, many open-charm and open-bottom
hadrons were observed. In 2003 two narrow charm-strange states $ D_ {s0}^{\ast}(2317) …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

A golden age for heavy-quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the
confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of …

The T2K experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Its main goal is to
measure the last unknown lepton sector mixing angle θ13 by observing νe appearance in a …

We introduce a method for isospin restoration in the calculation of nuclear matrix elements
(NMEs) for 0 ν β β and 2 ν β β decay within the framework of the microscopic interacting …

We review the physics basis, main features and use of general-purpose Monte Carlo event
generators for the simulation of proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider …

Observations of exotic structures in the J/ψ p channel, which we refer to as charmonium-
pentaquark states, in Λ b 0→ J/ψ Kp decays are presented. The data sample corresponds to …
