Process of muon (pion) pair production with small invariant mass in the electron-positron high-energy annihilation, accompanied by emission of hard photon at large angles, is considered. We find that the Dell-Yan picture for differential…
Very high energy (VHE, energy >~ 100 GeV) {\gamma}-rays originating from extragalactic sources interact with low energy photons of background radiation fields and produce electron-positron pairs. Alternatively, in the presence of ambient…
We suggest a phenomenological theory of the polarization conversions effect, an excitonic analog of the first-order spatial dispersion phenomena which is, however, observed in the photoluminescence rather than in the passing light. The…
Neutron stars provide ideal astrophysical laboratories for probing new physics beyond the Standard Model. If axions exist, photons can develop linear polarization during photon-axion conversion in the magnetic field of a neutron star. We…

The CAST (CERN Axion Solar Telescope) experiment at CERN searches for solar axions with energies in the keV range. It is possible that axions are produced in the core of the sun by the interaction of thermal photons with virtual photons of…
In the framework of eikonalized mini-jet model, contributions from gluon recombination effects are studied for the free proton in $pp$ and $\bar p p$ reactions. The nuclear configurational entropy is then used to calculate the main…
The propagation of TeV gamma rays can be strongly modified by B-field induced conversion to axionlike particles (ALPs). We show that, at such high energies, photon dispersion is dominated by background photons - the only example where…
Axion production from astrophysical bodies is a topic in continuous development, because of theoretical progress in the estimate of stellar emission rates and, especially, because of improved stellar observations. We carry out a…
The photon-ion merged-beams technique was used at a synchrotron light source for measuring absolute cross sections of double and triple photodetachment of O$^{-}$ ions. The experimental photon energy range of 524-543 eV comprised the…
Proton-proton total cross sections are measured with present day high energy colliders up to 2 TeV in the centre-of-mass of the system (10^{15}) eV in the laboratory). Several parameterizations, very succesful at low energies, can then be…
Axion dark matter can resonantly convert into photons in the magnetospheres of neutron stars (NSs). It has recently been shown that radio observations of nearby NSs can therefore provide a highly sensitive probe of the axion parameter…
A brief review of particle physics motivations for axion existence is followed by a discussion of optical observables that can be used for axion detection. It is emphasised that the resonant photon - axion transition can occur in the…

We consider axion cloud decay due to the axion-photon conversion with multi-pole background magnetic fields. We focus on the $\ell=m=1$ and $n=2$ mode for the axion field configuration since it has the largest growth rate associated with…
Measurements of neutron total cross-sections are both extensive and extremely accurate. Although they place a strong constraint on theoretically constructed models, there are relatively few comparisons of predictions with experiment. The…
