We analyse J/psi-production in nucleon-nucleon collisions near threshold in the framework of a general model-independent formalism, which can be applied to any reaction N+N-->N+N+V-0, where V-0=omega, phi or J/psi. Such reactions show large isotopic effects: a large difference for pp and pn collisions, which is due to the different spin structure of the corresponding matrix elements. The analysis of the spin structure and of the polarization observables is based on symmetry properties of the strong interaction. Using existing experimental data on the different decays of the J/psi meson, we suggest a model for N+N-->N+N+J/psi, based on t channel eta+pi exchanges. We predict polarization phenomena for the n+p-->n+p+J/psi reaction and the ratio of cross sections for np and pp collisions. For the processes eta(pi)+N-->N+J/psi we apply two different approaches: vector meson exchange and local four-particle interaction. In both cases we find larger J/psi production in np collisions than in pp collisions.

Interference effects in the decay phi ->pi(0)pi(0)gamma and the coupling constant g(phi sigma gamma)
Gokalp, A; Yılmaz, Osman (2001-09-01)
We study the radiative decay phi --> pi (0)pi (0)gamma within the framework, of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of sigma mesons, rho mesons, and f(0) mesons are considered. We analyze the interference effects between different contributions and, utilizing the experimental branching ratio for this decay, we estimate the coupling constant g(phi sigma gamma).
Heavy chi(Q) (2) tensor mesons in QCD
Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 2010-06-14)
The masses and decay constants of the ground state heavy chi(Q2) (Q = b, c) tensor mesons are calculated in the framework of the QCD sum rules approach. The obtained results on the masses are in good consistency with the experimental values. Our predictions on the decay constants can be verified in the future experiments.

Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (2000-04-01)
The strong coupling constants g(K Lambda N) and g(K Sigma N) for the structure sigma(mu nu)gamma(5) are calculated within light-cone QCD sum rules. A comparison of our results on these couplings with predictions from traditional QCD sum rules is presented.
Unified treatment of spacelike and timelike SO(3,1) Yang-Mills fields
Dundarer, AR (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2001-07-01)
SO(3, 1) valued Yang-mills fields stemming from spacelike and timelike vectors that were studied separately in earlier works are unified by introducing a parameter lambda that takes values in the interval [-1, 1].
