We have calculated differential, total and transport cross sections for muonic hydrogen in the n=2 state scattering from hydrogen. The metastable fraction of the 2S state that slows down below the 2P threshold without undergoing collisional…
We consider the most accurate tests of bound state QED, precision theory of simple atoms, related to the hyperfine splitting in light hydrogen-like atoms. We discuss the HFS interval of the 1s state in muonium and positronium and of the 2s…
There are many theoretical reasons why heavy quasi-stable charged particles might exist. Pair production of such particles at the Tevatron can produce highly ionizing tracks (HITs) or fake muons. In gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking,…
In the framework of the quasipotential method in quantum electrodynamics we calculate corrections to the nuclear structure proportional to $r_N^2$ from two-photon exchange amplitudes in the fine and hyperfine structure of P-states in muonic…
A constraint on a long-range spin-dependent interaction $\alpha^{\prime\prime}({\bf s}_1\cdot{\bf s}_2)\,{\rm e}^{-\lambda r}/r$, which can be induced by a pseudovector light boson, is presented. We study theoretical and experimental data…
The lack of evidence for new physics beyond the standard model at the LHC points to a paucity of new particles near the weak scale. This suggests that the weak scale is tuned and that supersymmetry, if present at all, is realized at higher…
The tunneling path between the CuO2-layers in cuprate superconductors and a scanning tunneling microscope tip passes through a barrier made from other oxide layers. This opens up the possibility that inelastic processes in the barrier…
New physics in the form of scalar/pseudoscalar operators cannot lower the semileptonic branching ratio B(B --> K mu+ mu-) below its standard model value. In addition, we show that the upper bound on the leptonic branching ratio B(B_s -->…
We discuss the CP nature of the Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson in the framework of a complex two Higgs doublet model (C2HDM). After analysing all data gathered during the Large Hadron Collider run 1, the measurement of the Higgs…
In this paper, we propose two novel signatures of Higgs decays to search for electron-muon flavor violation. These signatures arise from the presence of a light pseudoscalar into which the 125-GeV Higgs boson decays. The pseudoscalar…
Constraints on the general 2HDM ("Model II") are obtained from the existing $(g-2)_{\mu}$ data including limits on Higgs bosons masses from LEP I data. We consider separately two cases: with a light scalar $h$ and with a light pseudoscalar…
Decoding the internal structure of the proton is a fundamental challenge in physics. Historically, any new discovery about the proton has fuelled advances in several scientific fields. We have reported that gluons inside the proton…
There is renewed interest in studies of muonic atoms, which may provide detailed information on nuclear structure. A major limiting factor in the interpretation of measurements is the nuclear polarization contribution. We propose a method…
We discuss extending scaling and duality studies to semi-exclusive processes. We show that semi-exclusive hard pion photoproduction should exhibit scaling behavior in kinematic regions where the photon and pion both interact directly with…
Hidden sector particles with sub-GeV masses like hidden U(1) gauge bosons, the NMSSM CP-odd Higgs, and other axion-like particles are experimentally little constrained as they interact only very weakly with the visible sector. For masses…
We discuss how new data for a_{mu}= (g-2)_{mu}/2 improve constraints on new physics. Using two types of estimations of a_{mu}^{had} (Davier & H"{o}cker (case A) and Jegerlehner2000 (case B)) we evaluate 95% CL intervals for a new…
The critical step for future quantum industry demands realization of efficient information exchange between different-platform hybrid systems, including photonic and magnonic systems, that can harvest advantages of distinct platforms. The…
We compute bounds on screened scalar field theories from hydrogen-like systems. New light scalar fields generically have a direct coupling to matter. Such a coupling is strongly constrained by myriad experimental measurements. However,…
Current experimental data from the $g-2$ muon factor, seems to show the necessity of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM), since the difference between SM and experimental predictions is 2.6$\sigma $. In the framework of the General Two…
