A search has been performed for heavy resonances decaying to ZZ or ZW in 2$\ell$2q final states, with two charged leptons ($\ell=$ e,$\mu$) produced by the decay of a Z boson, and two quarks produced by the decay of a W or Z boson. The…
The problem of the self-interaction of a quasi-rigid classical particle with an arbitrary spherically symmetric charge distribution is completely solved up to the first order in the acceleration. No ad hoc assumptions are made. It is shown…
This study concerns finite basis set $\{\chi_k\}$ calculations of resonances based on real scaling, $\chi_k(x)\to \chi_k(xe^{-\eta})$. I demonstrate that resonance width is generally influenced by several neighboring quasi-discrete…
High-harmonic generation from hydrogenlike muonic atoms exposed to ultraintense high-frequency laser fields is calculated. Systems of low nuclear charge number Z are considered where a nonrelativistic description applies. By comparing the…
The standard approach to determine the parameters of a resonance is based on the study of the volume dependence of the energy spectrum. In this work we study a non-linear sigma model coupled to a scalar field in which a resonance emerges.…
We consider an electron-phonon system in two and three dimensions on square, hexagonal and cubic lattices. The model is a modification of the standard Holstein model where the optical branch is appropriately curved in order to have a…
The invariant mass of free particles is used to derive a bound-state equation for the hydrogen atom at rest. This equation has the well-known solutions for the single-particle states. Existence of two-particle bound states, for which the…
We study bound states embedded into the continuum of edge states in two-dimensional topological insulators. These states emerge in the presence of a short-range potential of a structural defect coupled to the boundary. In this case the edge…
These lecture notes focus on the bound state sector of QCD. Motivated by data which suggests that the strong coupling \alpha_s(Q) freezes at low Q, and by similarities between the spectra of hadrons and atoms, I discuss if and how QCD bound…
We show that, near a Feshbach resonance, a strong p-wave resonance is present at low energy in atom-dimer scattering for $^6$Li-$^{40}$K fermionic mixtures. This resonance is due to a virtual bound state, in the atom-dimer system, which is…
We study a Hamiltonian system of type describing a charged particle resonant interaction with an electromagnetic wave. We consider an ensemble of particles that repeatedly pass through the resonance with the wave, and study evolution of the…
A previously developed approach for the numerical treatment of two particles that are confined in a finite optical-lattice potential and interact via an arbitrary isotropic interaction potential has been extended to incorporate an…
We developed a lattice dynamical theory of an atomically-thin compressional piezoelectric resonator. Acoustic and optical dynamic displacement response functions are derived and account for frequency-dependent electromechanical coupling.…
How does the scattering cross section change when the colliding bound-state fragments are allowed particle-emitting resonances? This question is explored in the framework of a multi-channel algebraic scattering method of determining…
Several methods for studying the nature of a resonance are applied to resonances recently discovered in the bottonomium and charmonium sectors. We employ the effective-range expansion, the saturation of the width and compositeness of a…
Atomic-scale helices exist as motifs for several material lattices. We examine a tight-binding model for a single one-dimensional monatomic chain with a p-orbital basis coiled into a helix. A topologically nontrivial phase emerging from…
The physical properties of bound-state charged massive scalar field configurations linearly coupled to a spherically symmetric charged reflecting shell are studied {\it analytically}. To that end, we solve the Klein-Gordon wave equation for…
Recently, we have proposed the existence of a universal relation between the maximal electric charge and total mass of any weakly self-gravitating object: $Z\leq Z^*={\alpha}^{-1/3}A^{2/3}$, where $Z$ is the number of protons, $A$ is the…
Gravitational waves at suitable frequencies can resonantly interact with a binary system, inducing changes to its orbit. A stochastic gravitational-wave background causes the orbital elements of the binary to execute a classic random walk,…
The Dirac equation for an electron in a finite dipole potential has been studied within the method of linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). The Coulomb potential of the nuclei that compose a dipole is regularized, by considering the…
