We consider a bound state problem for a family of supersymmetric gauge theories with fundamental matter. These theories can be obtained by a dimensional reduction of supersymmetric QCD from three dimensions to 1+1 and subsequent truncation…
We analyse the mass spectrum of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at the low tan beta fixed point. We find that the model only satisfies experimental and dark matter bounds in regions where the vacuum is meta-stable --…
We examine the recently observed deviation of the muon g - 2 from the Standard Model prediction within the framework of gravity mediated SUGRA models with R parity invariance. Universal soft breaking (mSUGRA) models, and models with…
We present our preliminary results on the determination of the low lying meson spectrum for pure gauge theory in the large $N$ limit. Some results are also shown for the theory with two flavours of quarks in the adjoint representation.
We revisit the total decay rate of a muon being in the ground state of a Coulomb potential with atomic charge numbers $4\leq Z \leq 9$. The discrepancy between the perturbative $(\alpha Z)^2$ result of [Phys. Rev. \textbf{119}, 365 (1960)]…
A lower bound on the light neutrino mass $m_\nu$ is derived in the framework of a geometrical interpretation of quantum mechanics. Using this model and the time of flight delay data for neutrinos coming from SN1987A, we find that the…
The complete contribution to the muonium hyperfine splitting of relative order alpha^3(m_e/m_mu)ln(alpha) is calculated. The result amounts to 0.013 kHZ, much smaller than suggested by a previous estimate, and leads to a 2-sigma shift of…
Basis Light-front Quantization has been proposed as a nonperturbative framework for solving quantum field theory. We apply this approach to Quantum Electrodynamics and explicitly solve for the light-front wave function of a physical…
The muon and anti-muon neutrino energy spectrum is determined from 2000-2003 AMANDA telescope data using regularised unfolding. This is the first measurement of atmospheric neutrinos in the energy range 2 - 200 TeV. The result is compared…
We quantify the extent to which extra relativistic energy density can be concealed by a neutrino asymmetry without conflicting with the baryon asymmetry measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). In the presence of a large…
We calculate the spectra of charmonium and bottomium in an approximation scheme which treats hard gluons perturbatively while soft gluons are expanded in a set of localized wave functions. Quark-antiquark and quark-antiquark-gluon sectors…
Predictions for the muon decay spectrum are usually derived from the derivative-free Hamiltonian. However, it is not the most general form of the possible interactions. Additional simple terms with derivatives can be introduced. In this…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has recently been measured to be in conflict with the Standard Model prediction with an excess of 2.6 sigma. Taking this result as a measurement of the supersymmetric contribution, we find that at…
We derive an analytic expression for the O(alpha) radiative correction to the anti-nu_e (nu_e) spectrum in allowed beta-decay. The m -> 0 limit is convergent and leads to a very simple result (m is the electron mass). This is in sharp…
Experimental evidence for antikaon-nuclear quasibound states is briefly reviewed. Theoretical and phenomenological arguments for and against deep antikaon-nucleus potentials which might allow for narrow quasibound states are reviewed, with…
Relativistic tunnel ionization of atoms by intense, elliptically polarized light is considered. The relativistic version of the Landau-Dykhne formula is employed. The general analytical expression is obtained for the relativistic…
Classification of relativistic wave equations is given on the ground of interlocking representations of the Lorentz group. A system of interlocking representations is associated with a system of eigenvector subspaces of the energy operator.…
The influence of a Lorentz-violating fixed background on fermions is considered by means of a torsion-free non-minimal coupling. The non-relativistic regime is assessed and the Lorentz-violating Hamiltonian is determined. The effect of this…
The hyperfine (hf) transition rates for muonic atoms have been re-measured for select light nuclei, using neutron detectors to evaluate the time dependence of muon capture. For $^{19}$F $\Lambda$$_{h}$ = 5.6 (2) $\mu$s$^{-1}$ for the hf…
Far infrared fine-structure transitions of CI and CII and rotational transitions of CO are used to probe hypothetical variations of the electron-to-proton mass ratio mu = m_e/m_p at the epoch of reionization (z > 6). A constraint on Delta…
