My recent research activity is developed within the framework of the phenomenology of strong interactions at low energies, with special emphasis on the physics of the eta and eta' mesons.
My current lines of research are effective theories and phenomenological models based on chiral symmetry, the study of processes mediated by strong interaction involving scalar, pseudoscalar and vector mesons, and the analysis of decays of both D and B mesons and of tau leptons.
My research team is made up of S. Gonzàlez-Solís, P. Masjuan, A. Miranda, P. Roig, E. Royo and P. Sánchez-Puertas.

The summary of my research in the last 5 years is as follows. In the field of eta and eta' meson physics: theoretical analysis of the doubly radiative decays of the eta and eta' mesons; determination of the pi0-eta-eta' mixing from the radiative decays of the lightest vector mesons; theoretical analysis of the eta and eta' charge-conjugation conserving semileptonic decays; investigation of the prospect of observing such signatures via CP-violation using the former decays into muons at the REDTOP experiment; and analysis of the sensitivity of the eta and eta' doubly radiative decays to signatures of a leptophobic B boson in the MeV-GeV mass range. In the field of D-meson and tau-lepton decays: combined study of multihadronic D and Ds decays by means of the analysis of semileptonic D decays; and computation of the radiative corrections of tau lepton decays into two pseudoscalar mesons (pi, K). In the aside field of beyond the SM physics, the computation of the pole mass and pole width of the Kaluza-Klein gluon and the prediction for proton-proton cross-sections.
