      We perform a lattice study of heavy baryons, containing one (Λb) or two b-quarks Ξb. Using the quenched approximation we obtain for the mass of Λb, MΛb = 5.728 ± 0.144 ± 0.018 GeV. The mass splitting between the λb and the ...

      We present a study of finite-a effects in the leptonic decay constant |P of heavy pseudoscalar mesons. Exploiting results on three lattices - with inverse lattice spacing a-1 = 3.35, 2.3 and 1.53 GeV - to extrapolate |P ...

      Calculation of the decay width of decuplet baryons 

      Petschlies, Marcus; Alexandrou, Constantia; Negele, J. W.; Pochinsky, A. V.; Syritsyn, S. S. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2015)
      We calculate the coupling constant and decay width of the decuplet to octet baryon transitions in lattice QCD using the transfer matrix method. The transition amplitude is related to the coupling constant and via the Fermi's ...

      Alexandrou, Constantia; de Forcrand, Ph; Lippert, Th; Neff, H.; Negele, J. W.; Schilling, K.; Schroers, W.; Tsapalis, Antonios (2003)
      We present results on the ratio of electric quadrupole to magnetic dipole amplitudes, REM = GE2/GM1, for the transition γN → Δ from lattice QCD. We consider both the quenched and the 2-flavor theory.

      Colloquium: The shape of hadrons 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Papanicolas, Costas N.; Vanderhaeghen, M. (2012)
      This Colloquium addresses the issue of the shape of hadrons and, in particular, that of the proton. The concept of shape in the microcosm is critically examined. Special attention is devoted to properly define the meaning ...

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Myczkowski, J.; Negele, J. W. (1989)
      The ground states of nuclear matter and finite nuclei are calculated for a one-dimensional model having a two-body potential with strong short-range repulsion and long-range attraction. Mean-field theory with a phenomenological ...

      Berlin, J.; Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Dalla Brida, M.; Gravina, M.; Wagner, M. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2015)
      The conjecture that several recently observed mesons have a structure, which is not dominated by an ordinary quark-Antiquark pair, but by a four-quark structure, is being actively investigated both theoretical and ...
