We use chiral perturbation theory to investigate hadronic properties in strong electric and magnetic fields. A strong-field power counting is employed, and results for pions and nucleons are obtained using Schwinger's proper-time method. In…
The subject of the present theoretical and experimental investigations is the effect of the external magnetic field induction on dark current and a possibility of breakdown. The generalization of the Fowler-Nordheim equation makes it…
Magnetars are proposed to be peculiar neutron stars which could power their X-ray radiation by super-strong magnetic fields as high as $\gtrsim 10^{14}$ G. However, no direct evidence for such strong fields is obtained till now, and the…
We consider the effect of the magnetic field background in the form of a tube of the finite transverse size on the vacuum of the quantized charged massive scalar field which is subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition at the tube. It is…
In this paper we examine the Casimir effect for charged fields in presence of external magnetic field. We consider scalar field (connected with spinless particles) and the Dirac field (connected with 1/2-spin particles). In both cases we…
The neutron, in addition to possibly having a permanent electric dipole moment as a consequence of violation of time-reversal invariance, develops an induced electric dipole moment in the presence of an external electric field. We present…
In this paper I study the Casimir effect caused by a charged and massive scalar field that breaks Lorentz invariance in a CPT-even, aether-like manner. The breaking of Lorentz invariance is implemented by a constant space-like vector…
The radiative decay of neutral fermions has been studied for decades but $CP$ violation induced within such a paradigm has evaded attention. $CP$ violation in these processes can produce an asymmetry between circularly polarised directions…
A permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of a particle or system is a separation of charge along its angular-momentum axis and is a direct signal of T-violation and, assuming CPT symmetry, CP violation. For over sixty years EDMs have been…
Axions provide a solution to the strong CP problem and are excellent dark matter candidates. The presence of additional sources of CP violation, for example to account for the matter/antimatter asymmetry of the universe, can lead to…
We have calculated the neutron electric dipole moment (NEDM) in the presence of the CP violating $\theta$ term in lattice QCD with 2-flavor dynamical clover quarks, using the external electric field method. Accumulating a large number of…
The electric dipole moment (EDM) is an excellent probe of new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. The EDM of light nuclei is particularly interesting due to the high sensitivity to the hadron level CP violation. In this…
Models of spontaneous CP violation can solve the Strong CP problem without the need of an anomalous Peccei-Quinn symmetry. In this work we review the Nelson-Barr approach, quantifying a peculiar coincidence between unrelated mass scales…
We examine how large violation of CP and T is allowed in long base line neutrino experiments. When we attribute only the atmospheric neutrino anomaly to neutrino oscillation we may have large CP violation effect. When we attribute both the…
Chiral magnetic effect exists in an electron-positron strongly magnetized gas in QED. It is induced by an electric field parallel to the external field $\textbf{B}$, like that produced by the pseudovector longitudinal mode propagating along…
It is noted that the crustal magnetic spectrum exhibits the signal from the partly correlated domain dipoles on the space-scale up to approximately 500 km. This suggests the nonzero correlation among the dynamical variables of the…
Axion-mediated forces are enhanced by the presence of CP-violating axion couplings, which are however tightly constrained by electric dipole moment (EDM) searches. We discuss the underlying hypotheses behind different sources of CP…
We examine one of the standard loci for studying electromagnetic wave emission -- the radiation from an oscillating electric dipole -- in a model in which the electromagnetic sector is modified to include novel CPT- and Lorentz-violating…
The electric and magnetic fields are investigated on the basis of quantum vacuum. The analysis of the electromagnetic energy and force indicates that an electric field is a polarized distribution of the vacuum virtual dipoles, and that a…
The picture of CP-violation in orbifold compactifications in which the $T$-modulus is at a complex fixed point of the modular group is studied. CP-violation in the neutral kaon system and in the neutron electric dipole moment are both…
