We study, via DEM simulations, the apparent mass $m$ and loss factor $\eta$ of particle dampers (PD) attached to a vertically driven, single degree of freedom mechanical system. Although many studies focus on $\eta$, less work has been…
We discuss the impact of matter effects in the D0-D0bar system. We show that such effects could, in principle, be measured, but that they cannot be used to probe the mass difference x_D or the lifetime difference y_D. This occurs because…
It is seen by a coupled-channel calculation that in the two-baryon N-Delta or Delta-Delta system the width of the state is greatly diminished due to the relative kinetic energy of the two baryons, since the internal energy of the particles,…
In these proceedings we present our recent results on the study of the process $\gamma d \to \pi^0 \eta d$, where the existence of a dibaryon in the $\eta d$ invariant mass distribution has been recently claimed. As we will show, many of…
We suppose that there is new physics (NP) in b -> s transitions, and examine its effect on the angular distribution of B_q^0 -> V_1 V_2 (q=d,s), where V_{1,2} are vector mesons. We find that, in the presence of such NP, the formulae…
In the presence of the gravitational field, the energy density of matter no longer coincides with its mass density. A discrepancy exists, of course, also between the associated power spectra. Within the $\Lambda$CDM model, we derive a…
We calculated the mass and width of the $d'$ resonance inside nuclei within a nucleon-$\Delta$ model by including the self-energy of the $\Delta$ in the $N\Delta$ propagator. We found that in the nuclear medium the width of the $d'$ is…
Recently, a conceptually new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM), unparticle, has been proposed, where a hidden conformal sector is coupled to the SM sector through higher dimensional operators. In this setup, we investigate unparticle…
Using the full Belle Upsilon(5S) data sample of 121 fb^-1we have measured exclusive branching fractions for the decays B_s^0 -> D_s^(*)+D_s^(*)-. Assuming these decay modes saturate decays to CP-even final states, the branching fraction…
After reviewing the theoretical uncertainties entering the Standard Model determination of the mass difference of the neutral $B_s$-$\bar B_s$ meson system, $\Delta M_s^{\rm SM}$, we discuss the implications of its updated value for new…
The linear stability parameter delta is commonly used as a figure of merit for the nonlinear dynamics of the tearing mode. It is shown, through state of the art numerical simulations, that factors other than delta can play a very important…
One of the parameters fitted by Doppler radial velocity measurements of extrasolar planetary systems is omega, the argument of pericenter of a given planet's orbit referenced to the plane of the sky. Curiously, the omega's of the outer two…
We study unparticle effects on particle and antiparticle osillations in meson-antimeson, and muonium-antimuonium systems. Unlike usual tree level contributions to meson oscillations from heavy particle exchange with small $\Gamma_{12}$, the…
Suggestions for efficiently determining the lifetimes and mass difference of the light and heavy $B_s$ mesons ($B_s^L, B_s^H$) from $B_s \to J/ \psi \phi, D_s^{*+}D_s^{*-}$ decays are given. Using appropriate weighting functions for the…
We study the pionic decay of a possible dibaryon d' --> N N \pi in the microscopic quark shell model. The initial d' dibaryon wave function (J^P=0^-, T=0) consists of one 1\hbar\omega six-quark shell-model s^5p[51]_X configuration. The most…
A model of $n-n'$ (neutron-mirror neutron) oscillations is proposed under the framework of the mirror matter theory with slightly broken mirror symmetry. It resolves the neutron lifetime discrepancy, i.e., the 1% difference in neutron…
The time-dependent analysis of the decays $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda +D^0(t)$ and $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda +\bar{D}^0(t)$ is discussed. The effect of particle mixing due to time evolution of $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ on the observables for these decays…
We study theoretically the radiative lifetime of bound two-particle excitations in a waveguide with an array of two-level atoms, realising a 1D Dicke-like model. Recently, Zhang et al. [arXiv:1908.01818] have numerically found an unexpected…
We study dissipative effects for a system consisting of a massless real scalar field satisfying Neumann boundary conditions on a space and time-dependent surface, in d+1 dimensions. We focus on the comparison of the results for this system…
We investigate the dimensional dependence (D-dependence) of the difference (gap) between the critical temperatures associated with the uniform/non-uniform and non-uniform/gapped transitions in the large-N bosonic gauge theories with D…
