Recent CLEO results on the observation of the $\Upsilon(1D)$ state and a search for the $\eta_b(1S)$ state from a data sample of $4.7 \times 10^6\,\Upsilon(3S)$ decays collected with the CLEO-III detector, and a measurement of the…

In modern experiments on flavour physics it is possible to search for the decays of $B$ or $D$ mesons or $\tau$ leptons into final states with heavy neutrinos $N$ (a.k.a. heavy neutral leptons). I present a common study of theorists and…
Non-interacting particles obeying certain fractional statistics have been predicted to exhibit superconductivity. We discuss the issue in an attractively interacting system of spinful semions on a lattice by numerically investigating the…
