Corrections to energy levels in light muonic atoms are investigated in order $\alpha^2(Z\alpha)^4m$. We pay attention to corrections which are specific for muonic atoms and include the electron vacuum polarization loop. In particular, we…

We calculate the tree-level mass spectrum for a linear sigma model describing the scalar and pseudoscalar mesons of a $SU(3)$ local gauge theory with Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. $N_1$ fermions have a mass $m_1$ and…
The Standard Model prediction for $\mu$-$e$ scattering at Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) contains non-perturbative QCD contributions given by diagrams with a hadronic vacuum polarization insertion in the photon propagator. By taking…
It is shown that all existing data on mixing between up and down fermion states (i.e. CKM matrix and neutrino oscillations) and on the hierarchical quark and lepton mass ratios between generations are consistent with the two phenomena being…
Forward and backscattering play an exceptional role in the physics of two-dimensional interacting fermions. In a Fermi liquid, both give rise to a non-analytic $\omega^2 \log(\omega)$ form of the fermionic scattering rate at second order in…
