Possible strong Van der Waals force is searched in the nuclear interaction, whose existence is expected when the fundamental interaction between quarks is strong or superstrong Coulombic type. The relation between the type of the extra…
Conceivable Lorentz-violating effects in the neutrino sector remain a research area of great general interest, as they touch upon the very foundations on which the Standard Model and our general understanding of fundamental interactions is…
In the first part of the thesis we consider the constraints of causality and unitarity for particles interacting via strictly finite-range interactions. We generalize Wigner's causality bound to the case of non-vanishing partial-wave…
Neutrinos mediate long range forces among macroscopic bodies in vacuum. When the bodies are placed in the neutrino cosmic background, these forces are modified. Indeed, at distances long compared to the scale $T^{-1}$, the relic neutrinos…
Recent results from the MINOS accelerator neutrino experiment suggest a possible difference between nu_mu and anti-nu_mu disappearance oscillation parameters, which one may ascribe to a new long-distance potential acting on neutrinos. As a…
As known, electron vacuum polarization by nuclear Coulomb field produces Uehling potential with the range $\hbar/2m_e c$. Similarly, neutrino vacuum polarization by $Z$ boson field produces long range potential $\sim G^2/r^5$ with the large…
Neutrinos as almost massless particles could mediate long-range forces, known as neutrino forces. In this talk, I will introduce some theoretical aspects of neutrino forces, including why the potential of a neutrino force has the $1/r^{5}$…
Narrow resonances in systems with short-range interactions are discussed in an effective field theory (EFT) framework. An effective Lagrangian is formulated in the form of a combined expansion in powers of a momentum Q << Lambda--a…
Neutrino-photon processes, forbidden in vacuum, can take place in presence of a thermal medium or an external electro-magnetic field, mediated by the corresponding charged leptons (real or virtual). The effect of a medium or an…
We assume that the mass matrix of active neutrinos has hierarchical form with small mixings, similar to quark mass matrix. We show that the large mixings between $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ as well as between $\nu_e$ and certain combination of…

Among the combinations $L_e-L_\mu$, $L_e-L_\tau$ and $L_\mu-L_\tau$ any one can be gauged in anomaly free way with the standard model gauge group. The masses of these gauge bosons can be so light that it can induce long-range forces on the…

A proposal for the neutrino mass, based on neutrino-scalar field interaction, is introduced. The scalar field is also non-minimally coupled to the Ricci scalar and hence relates the neutrino mass to the matter density. In a dense region,…
