Physically observable particles are assumed to result from an interaction between massless positively and negatively oriented 2-component Weyl neutrinos. A simple quantum mechanical analysis of a composite system of Weyl neutrinos of…
In this paper we analyze the scattering process in a two-field model in $(1+1)$-dimensions, with the special property to have several topological solutions: i) one with higher rest mass, characterized by a nested defect (lump inside a…
At leading order, there are three inelastic scattering processes beginning with a quantum kink and a fundamental meson. Meson multiplication, in which the final state is a kink and two mesons, was treated recently. In this note we treat the…
Plasma physics give an example of physical system of particles with the long range interaction. At small velocity of particles we can consider the plasma approximately as a system of particles with the Coulomb interaction. The Coulomb…
We study the behaviour of interacting self-propelled particles, whose self-propulsion speed decreases with their local density. By combining direct simulations of the microscopic model with an analysis of the hydrodynamic equations obtained…

It is well known that the expansion of the universe can create particles. However, due to ambiguities when defining particles during the expansion, there are still debates about how to choose vacuum and particle states. To clarify how…
We investigate kink-antikink collisions in a model characterized by two scalar fields in the presence of geometric constrictions. The model includes an auxiliary function that modifies the kinematics associated with one of the two fields.…
We study kink-antikink scattering in the sine-Gordon model in the presence of interactions with an additional scalar field, $\psi$, that is in its quantum vacuum. In contrast to the classical scattering, now there is quantum radiation of…
Formation of oblique solitons by a flow of polariton condensate past an obstacle is considered. The flow is non-uniform due to a finite life-time of polaritons what changes drastically the conditions of formation of oblique solitons…
We present first-principles relativistic particle-in-cell simulations of the oblique pulsar magnetosphere with pair formation. The magnetosphere starts to form with particles extracted from the surface of the neutron star. These particles…
We examine a collection of particles interacting with inverse-square two-body potentials in the thermodynamic limit. We find explicit large-amplitude density waves and soliton solutions for the motion of the system. Waves can be constructed…
A simple model for the photoproduction of kaons off protons with a lambda hyperon in the final state is presented. In a quark model, the interaction is modelled by the pair-creation of the (anti-) strange quarks in the final state which…
The properties of small clusters can differ dramatically from the bulk phases of the same constituents. In equilibrium, cluster assembly has been recently explored, whereas out of equilibrium, the physical principles of clustering remain…
