Possible interactions of dark matter (DM) with Standard Model (SM) particles can be tested with spectral distortions (SDs) of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In particular, a non-relativistic DM particle that scatters elastically…
The main aim of this work is to explore the possibility that cold dark matter (CDM) and early dark energy (EDE) can be described by canonical scalar fields that are coupled at the level of its conservation equations. The formalism covers…
We theoretically investigate reflection and transmission measurements of two-photon and four-photon Kerr parametric oscillators (KPOs), introducing interference effects between inter-level transitions. Due to the level degeneracy of a KPO,…
We derive a set of constraints, which we will call hierarchy constraints (HCs), on scattering amplitudes of an arbitrary multistate Landau-Zener model (MLZM). The presence of additional symmetries can transform such constraints into…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors; the main conclusion is incorrect, as some of the crucial calculations were not properly converged.
Short-range quark-quark correlations are introduced into the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model in a simple way. The effect of these correlations on the structure of the nucleon in dense nuclear matter is studied. We find that the short-range…
The theory of heavy meson masses, in which the symmetries of heavy and light quarks are exploited, can be used to describe the low energy interaction among heavy mesons to a better extent. The spin-flavor symmetry leads to many interesting…
The coupled dark energy models, in which the quintessence scalar field nontrivially couples to the cold dark matter, have been proposed to explain the coincidence problem. In this paper we study the perturbations of coupled dark energy…
Models with dark energy decaying into dark matter have been proposed to solve the coincidence problem in cosmology. We study the effect of such coupling in the matter power spectrum. Due to the interaction, the growth of matter density…
By repeatedly measuring a quantum system, the evolution of the system can be slowed down (the quantum Zeno effect) or sped up (quantum anti-Zeno effect). We study these effects for a single two-level system coupled to a collection of…
Many extensions of the standard model predict the existence of hidden sectors that may contain unbroken abelian gauge groups. We argue that in the presence of quantum decoherence photons may convert into hidden photons on sufficiently long…
In this paper we explore the potential effects of DM annihilations on the cosmological recombination spectrum. With this example we want to demonstrate that the cosmological recombination spectrum in principle is sensitive to details…
The problem of understanding the nuclear effects observed in lepton-nucleus deep-inelastic-scattering (the EMC effect) is still with us. Standard nuclear models (those using only hadronic degrees of freedom) are not able to account for the…
In previous studies we found that models with flavor-universal suppression of the neutrino-gauge couplings are compatible with NuTeV and Z-pole data. In this paper we expand our analysis to obtain constraints on flavor-dependent coupling…
The nonmesonic weak decay spectra of light hypernuclei have been evaluated in a systematic way. As theoretical framework we adopt the independent particle shell model with three different one-meson-exchange transition potentials. Good…
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus (CE$\nu$NS) and elastic neutrino-electron scattering (E$\nu$ES) data are exploited to constrain ``chiral'' $U(1)_{X}$ gauged models with light vector mediator mass. These models fall under a distinct class…
We present a quark-quark interaction for the complete study of the meson spectra, from the light to the heavy sector. We compare the quark model predictions against well-established $q\bar q$ experimental data. This allows to identify…
In this paper, we study the amplification of weak frequency dependent signals in the CMB sky due to their cross correlation to intrinsic anisotropies. In particular, we center our attention on mechanisms generating some weak signal, of…
The principal purpose of meson spectroscopy is to understand the confining force, which is generally assumed to be based on low-energy QCD. This is usually done in the context of quark models that ignore the dynamical effects of quark-pair…
We consider models of heavy fermions in the strong coupling or local moment limit and include phonon degrees of freedom on the conduction electrons. Due to the large mass or low coherence temperature of the heavy fermion state, it is shown…
