We perform a detailed study of the $\Upsilon$-, $\eta_b$-, and $B_c$-nucleus systems in momentum space to calculate the bound-state energies and the corresponding coordinate-space radial wave functions. The attractive strong potentials for…
New limits on couplings $\lambda^i_{jk}{''}$, which break both the baryon number and the $R$--parity, are derived by using a new mechanism that contributes to the neutron-anti-neutron oscillation. The constraints due to proton decay and its…
The formations of the $K(\bar{K})$, $D(\bar{D})$, and $B(\bar{B})$ meson-nucleus bound states in ${\rm{^{16}O}}$, ${\rm{^{40}Ca}}$, ${\rm{^{90}Zr}}$, ${\rm{^{197}Au}}$, and ${\rm{^{208}Pb}}$ nucleus are investigated using the quark meson…
Polarized $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ decays at the Z pole are shown to be well suited for probing a large variety of New Physics effects. A new observable is proposed, the angular asymmetry between the $\Lambda_b$ spin and photon…
Electron-positron annihilation largely occurs in local thermal and chemical equilibrium after the neutrinos fall out of thermal equilibrium and during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch. The effects of this process are evident in BBN…
We analyze hadrochemical freeze-out in central Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS and LHC energies. We determine the effects of baryon and antibaryon annihilation and/or regeneration occurring during the final cascade expansion stage of the…
We develop a chiral symmetric relativistic mean field model with logarithmic sigma potential derived in the strong coupling limit of the lattice QCD. We find that both of the nuclear matter and finite nuclei are well described in the…
Experimental evidence for antikaon-nuclear quasibound states is briefly reviewed. Theoretical and phenomenological arguments for and against deep antikaon-nucleus potentials which might allow for narrow quasibound states are reviewed, with…
The multiplicities of light (anti)nuclei were measured recently by the ALICE collaboration in Pb+Pb collisions at the center-of-mass collision energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =2.76$ TeV. Surprisingly, the hadron resonance gas model is able to…
We examine the dynamics of a baryon number zero lump in the Skyrme picture, as a model for annihilation in the $\bar{N}N$ system. We find that radiation propagates at the causal limit as a localized pulse and that the linearized theory…
Nowadays, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies studies accurately determine the baryon fraction omega_b, showing an overall and striking agreement with previous determinations of omega_b obtained from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis…
We investigate a novel interplay between the decay and annihilation of a particle whose mass undergoes a large shift during a first order phase transition, leading to the particles becoming trapped in the false vacuum and enhancing their…
We present a mechanism to generate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe which preserves the net baryon number created in the Big Bang. If dark matter particles carry baryon number $B_X$, and $\sigma^{\rm annih}_{\bar{X}} < \sigma^{\rm…
The quark rearrangement model for baryon-antibaryon annihilation and reproduction ($B\bar B\leftrightarrow 3M$) - incorporated in the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach - is extended to the strangeness sector. A…
Coupled-channel Kbar-N dynamics near threshold and its repercussions in few-body Kbar-nuclear systems are briefly reviewed, highlighting studies of a K^-pp quasibound state. In heavier nuclei, the extension of mean-field calculations to…
We analyze the localization properties of two-body correlations induced by pairing in the framework of relativistic mean field (RMF) models. The spatial properties of two-body correlations are studied for the pairing tensor in coordinate…
Requiring that the baryon number of the universe be generated by anomalous electroweak interactions places strong constraints on the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In particular, the electric dipole moment of the neutron must be…
We investigate relative hadron yield production of various like and unlike mass particles in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions by employing a statistical thermal model with finite-sized baryons (antibaryons) to imitate the hard-core…
It is assumed that strong chromofields are generated at early stages of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions which give rise to a collective deceleration of net baryons from colliding nuclei. We have solved classical equations of motion…
A new dark sector anti-baryon, denoted $\psi_{\text{D}}$, could be produced in decays of $B$ mesons. This letter presents a search for $B^{+} \rightarrow \psi_{\text{D}} + \text{p}$ (and the charge conjugate) decays in $e^{+}e^{-}$…
