Many models on the market allow for particles carrying both lepton number and color, e.g., leptoquarks and leptogluons. Some of the models with this feature can also accommodate color-singlet leptohadrons. We have found that the…
Using an effective lagrangian approach, we identify a class of models in which the loop-induced magnetic moment form-factors of muon are enhanced by possibly large factors (\Lambda^2_F/\Lambda^2)(m_\tau/m_\mu)\ln(m_\tau^2/\Lambda^2) or…
Magnetic fields are everywhere in the Universe and in our everyday life and many processes are affected by their presence, generating a rich phenomenology that depends also on other possible external agents. We review here some results,…
We examine the ability of future facilities to discover and interpret non-supersymmetric new phenomena. We first explore explicit manifestations of new physics, including extended gauge sectors, leptoquarks, exotic fermions, and technicolor…
Decays of B mesons to states involving tau leptons can be used as a tool to search for the effects of new physics, such as those involving a charged Higgs boson. The experimental status of the decays B -> tau nu and B -> D^(*) tau nu is…
The two-component formulation of quantum electrodynamics with fundamental mass is studied. We review and update the prediction of the primordial existence of lepton magnetic moment in framework of two component formulation of the Maximal…
We study possible new physics (NP) effects on $B_c \to J/\psi \tau\bar\nu$, which has been recently measured at LHCb as the ratio of $R_{J/\psi} = \mathcal B(B_c \to J/\psi \tau\bar\nu)/\mathcal B(B_c \to J/\psi \mu\bar\nu)$. Combining it…
We classify all possible one-particle (scalar and fermion) extensions of the Standard Model that can contribute to the anomalous magnetic moment of leptons. We review the cases already discussed in the literature and complete the picture by…
Lepton charge asymmetries can be used as an alternative means of searching for new physics. They are interesting because they are small in the Standard Model and therefore, necessarily evidence new physics. In this work we explore the use…
I propose three new curved spacetime versions of the Dirac Equation. These equations have been developed mainly to try and account in a natural way for the observed anomalous gyromagnetic ratio of Fermions. The derived equations suggest…
Heavy New Physics models with lepton flavour-changing interactions are motivated by neutrino masses, and generically induce dipole interactions for leptons, which can be flavour-changing ($l_j\to l_i \gamma$) or flavour-diagonal (magnetic…
Recent results announced as measurements of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment are in fact measurements of the muon's anomalous spin precession frequency. This precession frequency receives contributions from both the muon's anomalous…
A novel magnetic interference effect is proposed for a neutral, but polarizable exciton in a quantum ring with a finite width. The magnetic interference effect originates from the nonzero dipole moment in the exciton. The ground state of…
We survey the implications for new physics of the discrepancy between the LEP measurement of $R_b$ and its Standard Model prediction. Two broad classes of models are considered: ($i$) those in which new $Z\bbar b$ couplings arise at tree…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration provided updated measurements for the lepton flavour ratios $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$. The currently observed values align with the predictions of the standard model. In light of these recent updates, our…
We investigate novel transport phenomena in a chiral fluid originated from an interplay between a vorticity and strong magnetic field, which induces a redistribution of vector charges in the system and an axial current along the magnetic…
In recent years a new potential symmetry of fundamental particle physics has been investigated --- discrete quark-lepton symmetry. When this symmetry is implemented, however, it often leads to either of the unrealistic predictions…
In recent years experiments revealed intriguing hints for new physics (NP) in $B$ decays involving \bctaunu and $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions at the $4\,\sigma$ and $5\,\sigma$ level, respectively. In addition, there are slight…
We consider renormalizable theories such that the scattering of dark matter off leptons arises at tree level, but scattering off nuclei only arises at loop. In this framework, the various dark matter candidates can be classified by their…
If the discrepancy between the theoretical and newly measured values of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment is ascribed to muon substructure, there results an improved model--independent limit on its energy scale, 1.2 TeV < Lambda_mu < 3.2…
