A gradual transition to the reflecting scattering mode developing already at the LHC energies is affecting multiparticle production dynamics, in particular, relation of the centrality with the impact parameter values of $pp$--collisions. We…
We present a preliminary search for D0--anti-D0 mixing using the decays D0 --> K+ pi- pi0, additionally presenting Dalitz-plot distributions and a measurement of the branching ratio for this mode. A new tagging technique is used to produce…
At present, the simulations for hadronic Z decay used at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) neglect the effects of interference between the electroweak production of the hadronic Z boson and the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) production of…
The D0 collaboration has announced the observation of the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry since 2010, which has more than 3\sigma deviation from the Standard Model prediction. One of the promising explanation is considering the existence…
In Hot or Warm Dark Matter universes the density fluctuations at early times contain very little power below a characteristic wavelength related inversely to the particle mass. We study how discreteness noise influences the growth of…
Scattering amplitudes involving three-particle scattering processes are investigated within the isobar approximation which respects constraints from two- and three-body unitarity. The particular system considered is the…
We consider nonresonant contributions in the Dalitz plot analysis of B->rho pi->pi^+ pi^- pi^0 decay and their potential impact on the extraction of the CKM parameter alpha. In particular, we examine the role of the heavy mesons B^* and…
We evaluate the contribution to the $X(3872)$ width from a triangle mechanism in which the $X$ decays into $D^{*0}\bar{D}^0 -cc$, then the $D^{*0} (\bar{D}^{*0})$ decays into $D^0 \pi^0$ ($\bar{D}^0 \pi^0$) and the $D^0 \bar{D}^0$ fuse to…
We investigate the coupling between two singlet superconductors separated by a half-metallic magnet. The mechanism behind the coupling is provided by the rotation of the quasiparticle spin in the superconductor during reflection events at…
In this Letter, we study theoretically reflectance of a monolayer comprizing regularly spaced quantum $\Lambda$-emitters. Due to high density of the latter, the monolayer almost totally reflects the incident field in the vicinity of the…
We study the thermal modification of the exclusive decay $K_1^+(1270)\to \pi^+\pi^-K^+$ in a hot hadronic medium. The decay amplitude is constructed from effective hadronic interactions dominated by the $\rho$- and $K^*$-pole contributions,…
The Kondo effect typically arises from the spin-flip scattering between the localized magnetic moment of the impurity and the delocalized electrons in the metallic host, which leads to a variety of intriguing phenomena. Here, by using…
If the $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced by the creation of $D^{*0} \bar{D}^0$ or $D^{0} \bar{D}^{*0}$ at short distances followed by the formation of the bound state from the charm-meson pair. The $X$ can…
The astrophysical origin of binary black hole (BBH) mergers remains uncertain, although many events have been observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network. Such mergers are potentially originated in the vicinity of massive black holes (MBHs).…
Theoretical evidence of the existence of 12 inequivalent Dirac cones at the vicinity of the Fermi energy in monolayered ZrB$_2$ is presented. Two-dimensional ZrB$_2$ is a mechanically stable d- and p-orbital compound exhibiting a unique…
Abundant phenomenology suggests that strong decays from relatively low-excitation hadrons into other hadrons proceed by the creation of a light quark-antiquark pair with zero total angular momentum, the so called $^3P_0$ mechanism…
The dimensionality of a correlated many-body system has a large impact on its electronic properties. When electrons are confined to one-dimensional chains of atoms their behavior is very different than in higher dimensional systems because…
We suggest that the uncertain state $f_X(1500)$ observed by Belle and BaBar more than a decade ago, which has been viewed as a single scalar or a combination of several even spin resonances, is the vector $\rho^0(1450)$ reported recently by…
Dynamics and direct $C\P$ violation in three-body charmless decays of charged $B$ mesons to a proton, an antiproton and a light meson (pion or kaon) are studied using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0$ {\,fb}^{-1}$,…
From a study of the lineshape of the $X(3872)$, the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow $D\bar{D}^*$ bound state hypothesis. Based on Weinberg's compositeness criterion,…
