General features of spontaneous baryogenesis are studied. The relation between the time derivative of the (pseudo)goldstone field and the baryonic chemical potential is revisited. It is shown that this relation essentially depends upon the…
The proton form factor, two-photon annihilations into $p\bar{p}$ as well as exclusive charmonium decays are critically examined. It will be argued that the standard perturbative QCD analysis of these reactions fails, i.e. the need for…
We address an actual problem of baryon-resonance dominated meson-exchange processes in the low GeV regime, i.e. the phase and the structure of meson-NN* transition vertices. Our starting point is a quark-diquark model for the baryons…
We explore baryon-number-violating ($|\Delta B| = 2$) processes beyond the well-known neutron-antineutron ($n - \bar{n}$) oscillations, focusing on the $\Lambda - \bar \Lambda$ system. The presence of a strange quark in the $\Lambda$ baryon…
We analyze $n - \bar n$ oscillations in generic models with large extra dimensions in which standard-model fields propagate and fermion wavefunctions have strong localization. We find that in these models $n - \bar n$ oscillations might…
Nuclear matter at finite temperature and barion density exhibits several phase transitions that could happen at the early stages of the Universe evolution and could be realized in heavy-ion or hadron-hadron collisions. Microscopic…
One of the most interesting questions regarding a possible first order cosmological quark--hadron phase transition concerns the final fate of the baryon number contained within the disconnected quark regions at the end of the transition. We…
The model consists of a signal process $X$ which is a general Brownian diffusion process and an observation process $Y$, also a diffusion process, which is supposed to be correlated to the signal process. We suppose that the process $Y$ is…
Two recent scenarios of preheating-related baryogenesis are compared within the framework of Abelian Higgs model in (1+1) dimensions. It is shown that they shift baryon number in opposite directions. Once both scenarios can realize…
We investigate a novel interplay between the decay and annihilation of a particle whose mass undergoes a large shift during a first order phase transition, leading to the particles becoming trapped in the false vacuum and enhancing their…
We investigate the properties of baryonic matter within the framework of the in-medium modified chiral soliton model by taking into account the effects of surrounding baryonic environment on the properties of in-medium baryons. The internal…
The first-passage-time problem for a Brownian motion with alternating infinitesimal moments through a constant boundary is considered under the assumption that the time intervals between consecutive changes of these moments are described by…
An observation of neutron-antineutron oscillations ($ n-\bar{n}$), which violate both $B$ and $B-L$ conservation, would constitute a scientific discovery of fundamental importance to physics and cosmology. A stringent upper bound on its…
We reconsider baryon stopping in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in a nonequilibrium-statistical framework. The approach combines earlier formulations based on quantum chromodynamics with a relativistic diffusion model through a suitably…
The baryon-antibaryon asymmetry (excess of matter over antimatter in our Universe), indicated by observational data from the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies, predictions of primordial Nucleosynthesis, and the absence of intense…
The intermediate-state interaction and structure of amplitudes of complicated processes in medium (decays, reactions and the $n\bar{n}$ transitions) are studied. It is proposed to use the branching ratio of channels of free-space…
The dynamics of the Restricted 3 Body Problem in the Post Newtonian context have been, and continue to be, studied extensively and a number of characteristics such as ejections of bodies from the system, precession of orbits, chaotic…
Data on hyperon form factors recently obtained from annihilation reactions are compared each other, and to proton and neutron form factors, in terms of two kinematical variables: the transferred momentum square, $q^2$, and the modulus $P$…
We survey known results about phase transitions in various models of statistical physics when the underlying space is a nonamenable graph. Most attention is devoted to transitive graphs and trees.
These are exciting times for studies of galaxy formation and the growth of structures. New observatories and advanced simulations are revolutionising our understanding of the cycling of matter into, through, and out of galaxies. This…
