A number of tensions between the Standard Model predictions and the related experimental results have recently emerged. We look for suitable extensions of the Standard Model that can interpret such deviations.
Several charm and beauty hadrons have been recently discovered, with features suggesting that they are not ordinary q-qbar mesons or qqq baryons. We adopt effective approaches to classify and properly interpret the newly observed states.
We have expertise in the variants of the QCD sum rule method that allows to compute non perturbative quantities, e.g. form factors, decay constants, strong coupling constants.
Holographic duality relates strongly coupled theories to weakly coupled gravity models in a high dimensional space containing an Anti de Sitter component. We exploit this approach to gain insights on non perturbative QCD phenomena.
