We study the effects of nonzero photon momentum on the triply-differential cross section for (\gamma,2e) processes. Due to the low value of the photon momentum, these effects are weak and manifest only in special kinematical conditions like…
For photons that propagate through a gas of neutrinos with a non-zero chemical potential, the left-handed and right-handed polarization modes acquire different dispersion relations. This is due to the CP and CPT-odd terms induced by such a…

The spectral shape of cosmic ray positrons and antiprotons has been accurately measured in the broad kinetic energy range 1-350 GeV. In the higher part of this range (E > 30 GeV) the e+ and pbar are both well described by power laws with…
