We discuss how to use the Rees-Sciama (RS) effect associated with merging clusters of galaxies to measure their kinematic properties. In a previous work (Rubino-Martin et al. 2004), the morphology and symmetries of the effect were examined…
We review known and discuss new signatures of high-intensity Compton scattering assuming a scenario where a high-power laser is brought into collision with an electron beam. At high intensities one expects to see a substantial red-shift of…

A chiral fermion action allows one to do very clean studies of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. I will briefly describe how to compute with the overlap action (relatively) cheaply, and then turn to physics: Low modes of the Dirac operator…
Geometric details of a nuclear reaction zone, at the time of particle emission, can be restored from low relative-velocity particle-correlations, following imaging. Some of the source details get erased and are a potential cause of problems…
