By a detector, one has in mind a point particle with internal energy levels, which when set in motion on a generic trajectory can get excited due to its interaction with a quantum field. Detectors have often been considered as a helpful…
An analytical solution of the perturbed equations is obtained, which exists in all ergodic models of collisionless spherical stellar systems with a single length parameter. This solution corresponds to variations of this parameter, i.e.,…
Due to coherence, there are strong electromagnetic fields of short duration in very peripheral collisions. They give rise to photon-photon and photon-nucleus collisions with high flux up to an invariant mass region hitherto unexplored…
In infrared-stable fixed-point field theories, the interaction energy of a test particle is proportional to the non-relativistic (heavy source) coordinate-space potential derived from the field strength produced by that source. This is no…
Massive particles produced during the cosmic inflation can imprint in the primordial non-Gaussianities as characteristic oscillating functions of various momentum ratios, known as cosmological collider signals. We initiate a study of the…
The phenomenological implications of a low-energy supersymmetry are surveyed, with particular attention given to unification constraints and the role of a large top quark Yukawa couplings. Generic expectations for sparticle mass spectra are…
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…
Extensions of the Standard Model of elementary particle physics to noncommutative geometries are proposed by string models. Independent of this motivation, one may consider such a model as an effective field theory with higher-dimensional…
The Standard Model of particle physics makes it possible to simulate complete events for physics signatures and their backgrounds in high energy collisions. Knowledge of how the produced particles interact with the materials in a detector…
We study semi-classical particle production in non-singular bouncing cosmologies by employing the Unruh-DeWitt model of a particle detector propagating in this class of spacetimes. The scale factor for the bouncing cosmology is derived…

Wigner's quantum-mechanical classification of particle-types in terms of irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group has a classical analogue, which we extend in this paper. We study the compactness properties of the resulting phase…
The coupling of an unparticle operator O_U to Standard Model particles opens up the possibility of unparticle decays into standard model fields. We study this issue by analyzing the pole structure (and spectral function) of the unparticle…
A uniformly accelerated point charge which moves neither in a straight line nor in a circle, but in a cusp, is investigated. We find the angular distribution of the Larmor radiation, the constant power, and the intensity in the maximal…
Based on a previous work on scenarios where the Standard Model and dark matter particles share a common asymmetry through effective operators at early time in the Universe and later on decouple from each other (not care), in this work, we…
One of the most interesting predictions resulting from quantum physics, is the violation of classical symmetries, collectively referred to as anomalies. A remarkable class of anomalies occurs when the continuous scale symmetry of a scale…
Ultra-peripheral collisions of relativistic heavy ions involve long-ranged electromagnetic interactions at impact parameters too large for hadronic interactions to occur. The nuclear charges are large; with the coherent enhancement, the…
The vanishing of the cross section for particular points in phase space - radiation zeros - is examined for the process $ q \bar q \to W^+W^- \gamma$ at high energy. For photon energies that are not too large, the cross section does exhibit…
We investigate the quantum field theory of a Lorentz non-invariant model with a massive nonlinear dispersion relation in Minkowski space. The model involves some non-causal signals in the form of wave packets propagating with super-luminal…
The cluster distributions of different systems are examined to search for signatures of a continuous phase transition. In a system known to possess such a phase transition, both sensitive and insensitive signatures are present; while in…
