Within the Standard Model, the weak interaction of quarks and leptons is characterized by certain symmetry properties, such as maximal breaking of parity and favored helicity. These are related to the $V-A$ structure of the weak…

I discuss low energy searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, identifying the role played by chiral symmetries in these searches and in various new physics scenarios. I focus in particular on electric dipole moment searches;…
The motivation for the search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay is briefly reviewed. It is stressed that the exchange of light Majorana neutrinos is not the only possible mechanism of the decay. The link between lepton number and lepton flavor…
The usage of nuclear emulsion with molybdenum filling for observation of $\beta\beta$ decay are shown to be possible. Estimates for 1 kg of $^{100}$Mo with zero background give the sensitivity for the $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay of $^{100}$Mo at…
Classical nucleation theory is used to estimate the free-energy barrier to nucleation of the solid phase of particles interacting via a potential which has a short-ranged attraction. Due to the high interfacial tension between the fluid and…
In this paper we show that the proton-neutron residual interaction can play an important role in the reliability of calculated $\beta$-decay half-lives. It may also improve the prediction power of the quasiparticle random phase…

The neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay process could provide crucial information to determine the absolute scale of the neutrino masses, and it is the only one that can establish whether neutrino is a Dirac or a Majorana…
We study the statistical properties of helicity in direct numerical simulations of fully developed homogeneous and isotropic turbulence and in a class of turbulence shell models. We consider correlation functions based on combinations of…

Correlations and fluctuations (the latter are directly related to the 2-particle correlations) is one of the important directions in analysis of heavy ion collisions. At the current stage of RHIC exploration, when the details matter,…
The rotating nuclei represent one of most interesting subjects for theoretical and experimental studies. They open a new dimension of nuclear landscape, namely, spin direction. Contrary to the majority of nuclear systems, their properties…
