The current knowledge of the neutron $\beta$-decay lifetime has come under scrutiny as of late due to large disagreements between recent precise measurements. Measurements using magnetically trapped Ultra-Cold Neutrons (UCNs) offer the…
Calculations of the positron binding energies to all atoms in the periodic table are presented and atoms where the positron-atom binding actually exists are identified. The results of these calculations and accurate calculations of other…
It is proved that, for all odd integer $s \geqslant s_0(\varepsilon)$, there are at least $\big( c_0 - \varepsilon \big) \frac{s^{1/2}}{(\log s)^{1/2}} $ many irrational numbers among the following odd zeta values:…
We give a proof of the irrationality of the $p$-adic zeta-values $\zeta_p(k)$ for $p=2,3$ and $k=2,3$. Such results were recently obtained by F.Calegari as an application of overconvergent $p$-adic modular forms. In this paper we present an…
In the first part we present results of four ``experimental'' determinations of the Euler-Mascheroni constant $\gamma$. Next we give new formulas expressing the $\gamma$ constant in terms of the Ramanujan-Soldner constant $\mu$. Employing…
We prove the irrationality of the classical Dirichlet L-value $L(2,\chi_{-3})$. The argument applies a new kind of arithmetic holonomy bound to a well-known construction of Zagier. In fact our work also establishes the $\mathbf{Q}$-linear…
We introduce and prove several new formulas for the Euler-Mascheroni Constant. This is done through the introduction of the defined E-Harmonic function, whose properties, in this paper, lead to two novel formulas, alongside a family of…
In the context of the LARGE volume scenario, stabilization of axionic moduli is revisited. This includes both even and odd axions with their scalar potential being generated by F-term contributions via various tree-level and…
Positronium (the bound state of electron and positron) has been thought to be formed after proton decay ($>10^{34}$yr) through collisional recombination and then decays by pair annihilation, thereby changing the matter content of the…
On the basis of phenomenological model of the orthopositronium annihilation "isotope anomaly" in gaseous neon (lifetime spectra, positrons source Na-22) the realistic estimation of an additinal mode ~0.2%) of the orthopositronium…
The objective of this work is to showcase the ortho-positronium lifetime as a probe for soft-tissue characterization. We employed positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy to experimentally measure the three components of the positron…
We investigate the stability properties of an abstract class of semi-linear systems. Our main result establishes rational rates of decay for classical solutions assuming a certain non-uniform observability estimate for the linear part and…
We explore the possibility that the reported time variation of the fine structure constant $\alpha$ is due to a coupling between electromagnetism and gravitation. This may reconcile the claimed results on $\alpha$ with the upper limit from…
We investigate the decay of accelerated protons and neutrons. Calculations are carried out in the inertial and coaccelerated frames. Particle interpretation of these processes are quite different in each frame but the decay rates are…
When neutrinos are produced from long lived particles the life-time of the source particle affects the flavour conversion probability formula. Due to this source dependence experiments (like LSND) which use muon decay neutrinos are two…
The lifetime of the hypertriton $\isotope[3][\Lambda]{H}$ has been recently measured as significantly shorter than that of the free $\Lambda$. We present an explanation based on a change of the intrinsic hyperon decay due to the nuclear…
We demonstrate a compatibility between the relativity principle and the clock postulate in deformed special relativity, by identifying the relevant deformed Lorentz transformations in position space between arbitrary frames. This result…
Recently the lifetime of the excited $^{2}P_{1/2}$-state of S$^-$ was measured to be $503\pm 54$ s (B\"ackstr\"om et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 143003 (2015)). The earlier theoretical lifetime of $436$ s was clearly outside the experimental…
We show that when the unparticle sector is coupled to the Standard Model, unparticle excitations can decay to Standard Model particles. This radically modifies the signals of unparticle production. We present a method for the calculation of…
We consider the summation of Kapteyn series of several kinds and obtain some relations among the sums. We paid special attention to cases when sums are transcendental functions. Their asymptotic behaviors are obtained. In some cases the…
