Relativistic light-front bound-state equations for mesons and baryons can be constructed in the chiral limit from the supercharges of a superconformal algebra which connect baryon and meson spectra. Quark masses break the conformal…
Persistent activity of magnetars is associated with electric discharge that continually injects relativistic particles into the magnetosphere. Large active magnetic loops around magnetars must be filled with outflowing particles that…

For a class of hindered magnetic dipole ($M1$) transition processes, such as $\Upsilon(3S)\to \eta_b+\gamma$ (the discovery channel of the $\eta_b$ meson), the emitted photon is rather energetic so that the traditional approaches based on…
Using data taken with the CLEO III detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have investigated the direct photon spectrum in the decays Upsilon(1S) -> gggamma, Upsilon(2S) -> gggamma, Upsilon}(3S) -> gggamma. The latter two of these…
We study Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in a p-type WSe$_2$ monolayer under very high magnetic field. The oscillation pattern is complex due to a large spin and valley splitting, in the non-fully-resolved Landau level regime. Our…

White dwarf atmospheres are subjected to gravitational potentials around $10^5$ times larger than occur on Earth. They provide a unique environment in which to search for any possible variation in fundamental physics in the presence of…
Strongly magnetizing a plasma adds a range of waves that do not exist in unmagnetized plasmas and enlarges the laser-plasma interaction (LPI) landscape. In this paper, we use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to investigate strongly…
The mass spectrum of P-wave mesons is considered in a nonrelativistic constituent quark model. The results show the common mass degeneracy of the isovector and isodoublet states of the scalar and tensor meson nonets, and do not exclude the…
