With the strong experimental evidence for standard neutrino mass and mixings, there exists now a possibility of the lepton flavor violating process e\sup + mu \sup - \arrow W \sup + W \sup -, which would occur via t-channel neutrino…
New physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model (SM) for neutrino mass mechanism often necessitate the existence of a neutral scalar $H$ and/or doubly-charged scalar $H^{\pm\pm}$, which couple to the SM charged leptons in a flavor violating…
A recently reported discrepancy between experimental and theoretical values of the muon's g-2 factor is interpreted as due to small violations of the conservation of P and T in the spin-rotation coupling. The experiments place an upper…
Since the announcement of the proton spin crisis by the European Muon Collaboration there has been considerable progress in unravelling the distribution of spin and orbital angular momentum within the proton. We review the current status of…
We investigate simplified models involving an inert scalar triplet and vector-like leptons that can account for the muon $g-2$ anomaly. These simplified scenarios are embedded in a model that features W' and Z' bosons, which are subject to…
We consider a model with multi-charged particles including vector-like fermions and a charged scalar under a local $U(1)_{\mu - \tau}$ symmetry. We search for allowed parameter region explaining muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon $g-2$)…

The positivity conditions of the spin density matrix constrain the spin observables of the reaction antiproton-proton to AntiLambda-Lambda, leading to model-independent, non-trivial inequalities. The formalism is briefly presented and…
We comprehensively analyse the theoretical prediction for the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen, and the associated determination of the proton radius. We use effective field theories. This allows us to relate the proton radius with…
While the muon $g-2$ anomaly can be successfully explained by some new physics models, most of them are severely constrained by the $\mu \to e \gamma$ bound. This tension is more transparent from the effective field theory perspective, in…
The proton structure and proton polarizability corrections to the Lamb shift of electronic hydrogen and muonic hydrogen were evaluated on the basis of modern experimental data on deep inelastic structure functions. Numerical value of proton…
Alvarado, Aranda, and Bonilla propose a sub-GeV U(1)R gauge boson model to explain the proton charge radius discrepancy. Their model assumes opposite sign U(1)R charge assignments for up and down quarks in the nucleon. I point out that…
We compute trace anomaly contribution to hydrogen atom mass, which turns out to be related to the part of the Lamb shift. This finding might shed new light on our understandings of the mass structure of QCD bound states, such as, proton.
We study a lepton portal dark matter model, motivated by the deviation of the $W$ boson mass reported by the CDF collaboration. We introduce vector-like leptons and a scalar dark matter (DM) which exclusively couples to the extra leptons…
The largest hyperfine interaction coefficients in the hydrogen molecular ion HD$^+$, i.e. the electron-proton and electron-deuteron spin-spin scalar interactions, are calculated with estimated uncertainties slightly below 1~ppm. The…

The Standard Model (SM) is augmented with a $\mathrm{U}(1)_{B-3L_\mu} $ gauge symmetry spontaneously broken above the TeV scale when an SM-singlet scalar condenses. Scalar leptoquarks $S_{1(3)} = (\overline{\mathbf{3}},\, \mathbf{1}…
Positivity constraints have proved to be important for spin observables of exclusive reactions involving polarized initial and final particles. Attention is focused in this note on the photoproduction of pseudoscalar mesons from spin 1/2…
