The $K_{0}^{*}(700)$ meson appears as the lightest strange scalar meson in PDG. Although there were a lot of experimental and theoretical efforts to establish this particle and determine its properties and nature, it still needs confirmation in an experiment and its internal quark-gluon organization needs to be clarified. In this connection, we study some spectroscopic properties of this state in a hot medium as well as a vacuum by modeling it as a usual meson of a quark and an aniquark. In particular, we investigate its mass and coupling or decay constant in terms of the temperature of a hot medium by including the medium effects by the fermionic and gluonic parts of the energy momentum tensor as well as the temperature-dependent continuum threshold, quark, gluon and mixed condensates. We observe that the mass of $K_{0}^{*}(700)$ remains unchanged up to $T simeq 0.6 ~ T_c$ with $ T_c $ being the critical temperature, but it starts to diminish after this point and approaches zero near to the critical temperature referring to the melting of the meson. The coupling of $K_{0}^{*}(700)$ is also sensitive to $ T $ at higher temperatures. It starts to grow rapidly after $T simeq 0.85 ~ T_c$. We turn off the medium effects and calculate the mass and coupling of the $K_{0}^{*}(700)$ state at zero temperature. The obtained mass is in accord with the average Breit-Wigner mass value reported by PDG.

Pion valence distributions in nuclear medium and vacuum are studied in a light-front constituent quark model. The in-medium input for studying the pion properties is calculated by the quark-meson coupling model. We find that the in-medium pion valence distribution, as well as the in-medium pion valence wave function, are substantially modified at normal nuclear matter density, due to the reduction in the pion decay constant.
We consider the contribution of scalar resonances to hadronic light-by-light scattering in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. While the $f_0(500)$ has already been addressed in previous work using dispersion relations, heavier scalar resonances have only been estimated in hadronic models so far. Here, we compare an implementation of the $f_0(980)$ resonance in terms of the coupled-channel $S$-waves for $gamma^*gamma^*to pipi/bar K K$ to a narrow-width approximation, which indicates $a_mu^{text{HLbL}}[f_0(980)]=-0.2(2)times 10^{-11}$. With a similar estimate for the $a_0(980)$, the combined effect is thus well below $1times 10^{-11}$ in absolute value. We also estimate the contribution of heavier scalar resonances. In view of the very uncertain situation concerning their two-photon couplings we suggest to treat them together with other resonances of similar mass when imposing the matching to short-distance constraints. Our final result is a refined estimate of the $S$-wave rescattering effects in the $pi pi$ and $bar K K$ channel up to about $1.3$ GeV and including a narrow-width evaluation of the $a_0(980)$: $a_mu^text{HLbL}[text{scalars}]=-9(1)times 10^{-11}$.
A symmetry-preserving regularisation of a vector$times$vector contact interaction (SCI) is used to deliver a unified treatment of semileptonic transitions involving $pi$, $K$, $D_{(s)}$, $B_{(s,c)}$ initial states. The framework is characterised by algebraic simplicity, few parameters, and the ability to simultaneously treat systems from Nambu-Goldstone modes to heavy+heavy mesons. Although the SCI form factors are typically somewhat stiff, the results are comparable with experiment and rigorous theory results. Hence, predictions for the five unmeasured $B_{s,c}$ branching fractions should be a reasonable guide. The analysis provides insights into the effects of Higgs boson couplings via current-quark masses on the transition form factors; and results on $B_{(s)}to D_{(s)}$ transitions yield a prediction for the Isgur-Wise function in fair agreement with contemporary data.
The measurements of $V_{us}$ in leptonic $(K_{mu 2})$ and semileptonic $(K_{l3})$ kaon decays exhibit a $3sigma$ disagreement, which could originate either from physics beyond the Standard Model or some large unidentified Standard Model systematic effects. Clarifying this issue requires a careful examination of all existing Standard Model inputs. Making use of a newly-proposed computational framework and the most recent lattice QCD results, we perform a comprehensive re-analysis of the electroweak radiative corrections to the $K_{e3}$ decay rates that achieves an unprecedented level of precision of $10^{-4}$, which improves the current best results by almost an order of magnitude. No large systematic effects are found, which suggests that the electroweak radiative corrections should be removed from the ``list of culprits responsible for the $K_{mu 2}$--$K_{l3}$ discrepancy.
We revisit, improve and confirm our previous results [1-3] from the scalar digluonium sum rules within the standard SVZ-expansion at N2LO {it without instantons} and {it beyond the minimal duality ansatz} : one resonance $oplus$ QCD continuum parametrization of the spectral function. We select different unsubtracted sum rules (USR) moments of degree $leq$ 4 for extracting the two lowest gluonia masses and couplings. We obtain in units of GeV: $(M_{G},f_G)=[1.04(12),0.53(17)]$ and $[1.52(12),0.57(16)]$. We attempt to predict the masses of their first radial excitations to be $M_{sigma} simeq 1.28(9)$ GeV and $M_{G_2}simeq 2.32(18)$ GeV. Using a combination of the USR with the subtracted sum rule (SSR), we estimate the conformal charge (subtraction constant $psi_G(0)$ of the scalar gluonium two-point correlator at zero momentum) which agrees completely with the Low Energy Theorem (LET) estimate. Combined with some low-energy vertex sum rules (LEV-SR), we confront our predictions for the widths with the observed $I=0$ scalar mesons spectra. We confirm that the $sigma$ and $f_0(980)$ meson can emerge from a maximal (destructive) ($bar uu+bar dd$) meson - $(sigma_B$) gluonium mixing [10]. The $f_0(1.37)$ and $f_0(1.5)$ indicate that they are (almost) pure gluonia states (copious decay into $4pi$) through $sigmasigma$, decays into $etaeta$ and $etaeta$ from the vertex $U(1)_A$ anomaly with a ratio $div$ to the square of the pseudoscalar mixing angle sin$^2theta_P$.
