We discuss diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions at small momentum transfers without and with photon radiation. We consider the soft exclusive reactions $pp \to pp$, $p\bar{p} \to p\bar{p}$, and $pp \to pp \gamma$ within the…

Worldline techniques are employed to study the general behaviour of the fermion-fermion collision amplitude at very high energies in a non-abelian gauge field theory for the forward and fixed angle scattering cases. A central objective of…
We investigate the photon statistics of an ensemble of coherently driven non-interacting two-level atoms in the weak driving regime. As it turns out, the system displays unique emission characteristics that are strongly in contrast to the…
Direct photon spectra from uranium-uranium collisions at FAIR energies (E(lab) = 35 AGeV) are calculated within the hadronic Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics transport model. In this microscopic model, one can optionally…
We report on the calculation of the threshold soft function for heavy quark pair production in e+ e- annihilation at two-loop order. Our main result is a generalization of the familiar Drell-Yan threshold soft function to the case of…
We investigate the effects of the Born-Infeld action on the Abelian sector of the electroweak model. The consequence of this approach is the emergence of anomalous couplings in the neutral sector of the $Z$-gauge boson and photon. These new…
We consider soft electrons in massless QED at tree-level. The emission amplitude at leading order in the soft electron energy factorizes in a way similar to the soft photon case. We recast the soft electron factorization formula as a Ward…
We consider the cross section of electron-positron pair production by a high-energy photon in a strong Coulomb field close to the end of electron or positron spectrum. We show that the cross section essentially differs from the result…
Bursts from soft gamma repeaters have been shown to be super-Eddington by a factor of 1000 and have been persuasively associated with compact objects. Here, a model of super-Eddington radiation transfer on the surface of a strongly magnetic…
In this work we study the cusp anomalous dimension of the marginally deformed N=4 sYM theory. We find the expression of the cusp anomalous dimension both at the weak and strong coupling limits. On the gravity side we partially map the…
High energy electrons and positrons from annihilating dark matter can imprint unique angular anisotropies on the diffuse gamma-ray flux by inverse Compton scattering off the interstellar radiation field. We develop a numerical tool to…
Based on quantitative predictions enabled by a nonperturbative approach to Yang-Mills thermodynamics it is explained why the physics of photon {\sl propagation} is not unlikely rooted in pure SU(2) gauge dynamics.
The suppression of the bremsstrahlung cross section due to multiple scattering of the emitting electrons is an important effect in dense media (Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect). Here, we study the emission from a dense, fully-ionized and…
Bohmian mechanics reproduces all statistical predictions of quantum mechanics, which ensures that entanglement cannot be used for superluminal signaling. However, individual Bohmian particles can experience superluminal influences. We…
Although both electron-ion and electron-electron bremsstrahlung contribute to the hard X-ray emission from solar flares, the latter is normally ignored. Such an omission is not justified at electron (and photon) energies above $\sim 300$…
Analytic expression for energy and angular dependence of a secondary charged lepton in the decay of a polarized top quark with anomalous $tWb$ couplings in the presence of all anomalous couplings are derived. The angular distribution of the…

Selectively excited photoluminescence (SPL) of an array of self-organized In$_{0.5}$Ga$_{0.5}$As quantum dots has been measured in a magnetic field up to 11T. Anomalous magnetic field sensitivity of the SPL spectra has been observed under…
We present a model of anomalous diffusion consisting of an ensemble of particles undergoing homogeneous Brownian motion except for confinement by randomly placed reflecting boundaries. For power-law distributed compartment sizes, we…
