We find model-independent upper limits on rates of dark matter annihilation in galactic halos. The Born approximation generally fails, while exotic threshold enhancements akin to "Sommerfeld factors" also turn out to be baseless The most…
We use the Paris nucleon-antinucleon optical potential for explanation of experimental data in the process $e^+e^- \to p\bar p$ near threshold. It is shown that the cross section and the electromagnetic form factors are very sensitive to…
We study the transition form factors between pseudoscalar and vector mesons using a covariant fermion field theory model in $(3+1)$ dimensions. Performing the light-front calculation in the $q^+ =0$ frame in parallel with the manifestly…
The predictions for transition form factors $\gamma^*\to \gamma f_2(1270)$ and $\gamma^*\to \gamma a_2(1320)$ and corresponding $e^+e^-\to \gamma^*\to f_2\gamma$ and $e^+e^-\to \gamma^*\to a_2\gamma$ cross sections are obtained for the…
A simple exactly solvable model is proposed for describing the decays $\Upsilon (4S) \rightarrow B^0\bar B^0$ and $\Upsilon (4S) \rightarrow B^+B^-$. Our predictions agree with available experimental data. Using this model, we analyze the…
The exact result for non-relativistic quadrupole bremsstrahlung in a Coulomb field was established only recently in Pradler & Semmelrock (2020). It requires the evaluation and integration of hypergeometric functions across a wide range of…
