Due to large QED anomalous dimensions of the electric and magnetic dipole operators, the rate of the rare muon decay mu --> e+gamma is suppressed by the factor [ 1- 8 alpha/pi ln(Lambda/m_mu) ], independent of the physics responsible for…
The observed deviations from the Standard Model in several b -> s mu mu processes can be explained in terms of a new vector boson produced on-shell in B meson decays. A mass of 2.5-3 GeV and a total width of 10-20% allow to hide the…
We study the invisible decay of neutral hadrons in a representative model of the dark sector. The mesons $K_L$ and $B^0$ decay into the dark sector with branching rates that can be at the current experimental limits. The neutron decays with…

It is shown that muon decays in straight sections of muon collider rings will naturally produce highly collimated neutrino beams that can be several orders of magnitude stronger than the beams at existing accelerators. We discuss possible…
Apparent variability of the longitudinal magnetic fields in most stars is caused by rotation, which quantitavely changes projection of the magnetic field configuration on the line of sight. This is a purely geometrical effect and is not…

The measured rate for D_s -> l nu decays, where l is a muon or tau, is larger than the standard model prediction, which relies on lattice QCD, at the 3.8 sigma level. We discuss how robust the theoretical prediction is, and we show that the…
This paper provides a simple derivation of the decoherence rate for a diamagnetic nanoparticle in the presence of fluctuations of the magnetic field in a thermal environment. Diamagnetic levitation is one of the key techniques for trapping,…
