A simple field theory approach is developed to model the properties of charged, dielectric bodies and their associated counterions. This predictive theory is able to accurately describe the properties of systems (as compared to computer…
Experiments are beginning to probe the interaction of quantum particles with gravitational fields beyond the uniform-field regime. In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the gravitational field in such experiments can be written as a…
We show that fluctuations of the fireball shape in the longitudinal direction generate nontrivial rapidity correlations that depend not only on the rapidity difference, y_{1} - y_{2}, but also on the rapidity sum, y_{1} + y_{2}. This is…
Short-range corrections to long-range selected configuration interaction calculations are derived from perturbation theory considerations and applied to harmonium (with two to six electrons for some low-lying states). No fitting to…
Unification ideas motivate the formulation of field equations on an extended spin space. Demanding that the Poincare symmetry be maintained, one derives scalar symmetries that are associated with flavor and gauge groups. Boson and fermion…
The possibility of a symmetry between gravitating and anti-gravitating particles is examined. The properties of the anti-gravitating fields are defined by their behavior under general diffeomorphisms. The equations of motion and the…
Some time ago, it has been suggested that gravitons can acquire mass in the process of spontaneous symmetry breaking of diffeomorphisms through the condensation of scalar fields [Chamseddine and Mukhanov, JHEP, 2010]. Taking this…
Extremely weak new forces could lead to apparent violations of the Equivalence Principle. The MICROSCOPE experiment implies that the relative strength of a new long-range force, compared with gravity, is constrained to $|\bar\alpha_g|<3.2\…
We summarize the works presented in Refs. \cite{1,2} on collider phenomenology of the unparticle physics associated with an exact scale invariant sector possessing a non-trivial infrared fixed point at a high energy scale. We give…
We reexamine the low-energy potential for a macroscopic fifth force generated from the exchange of two axions. The shift-symmetry of the linear axion interactions leads to a potential falling off as $V(r) \sim 1/r^5$. We find that in the…
We review from the point of view of nonextensive statistics the ubiquitous presence in elementary and heavy-ion collisions of power-law distributions. Special emphasis is placed on the conjecture that this is just a reflection of some…
We use entropy to link fine-structure constant and cosmological constant. We also link nuclear force and gravity. We step on the fundamentals of consciousness for this new millennium with a scientific approach. Statistical and quantum…
We study the long-range force arising between two neutral---of electric charge---aggregates of matter due to a neutrino-pair exchange, in the limit of zero neutrino mass. The conceptual basis for the construction of the effective potential…
This Resource Letter provides a guide to literature on the Standard Model of elementary particles and possible extensions. In the successful theory of quarks and leptons and their interactions, important questions remain, such as the…
We construct the most general effective Lagrangian coupling gravity and electromagnetism up to mass dimension 6 by enumerating all possible non-minimal coupling terms respecting both diffeomorphism and gauge invariance. In all, there are…
The successive stages of a high-energy collision are conjectured to end up with chemical and thermal freezeout of the produced particles. We utilize generic (non)extensive statistics which is believed to determine the degree of…
We study different phenomenological signatures associated with new spin-2 particles. These new degrees of freedom, that we call hidden gravitons, arise in different high-energy theories such as extra-dimensional models or extensions of…
We initiate the study of a new class of beyond the Standard Model states that we call "Loryons." They have the defining characteristic of being non-decoupling, in the sense that their physical mass is dominated by a contribution from the…
We present here a panoramic view of our unified, bi-scale theory of gravitational and strong interactions [which is mathematically analogous to the last version of N.Rosen's bi-metric theory, and yields physical results similar to strong…
A completely Lorentz-invariant Bohmian model has been proposed recently for the case of a system of non-interacting spinless particles, obeying Klein-Gordon equations. It is based on a multi-temporal formalism and on the idea of treating…
