We have observed new channels for $\tau$ decays with an $\eta$ in the final state. We study 3-prong tau decays, using the $\eta\to\gamma\gamma$ and $\eta\to 3\piz$ decay modes and 1-prong decays with two $\piz$'s using the…
In this work, we make a study of the $\tau^- \to \omega\pi^-\nu_\tau$ decay in the framework of low-energy effective field theory. The $J^{\mathcal{P}G}$ decompositions of the quark currents and the $\omega\pi$ final state show that,…
The light unflavoured meson $\eta/\eta^{\prime}$ decays are valuable for testing non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics and exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model. This paper describes a series of event generators, including…
We study the neutrino-photon processes such as $\gamma\gamma\to \nu\bar{\nu}$ and $\nu\gamma\to \nu\gamma$ in a background magnetic field smaller than the critical magnetic field $B_c\equiv m_e^2/e$. Using Schwinger's proper-time method, we…
Motivated by the large branching ratios observed for the process $B\to\eta^{\prime}K$, we examine critically all the ingredients that go into estimates of B decays into two light pseudoscalars. Within factorization approximation, we examine…
The process of the photon decay into the neutrino - antineutrino pair in a magnetic field is investigated. The amplitude and the probability are analysed in the limits of relatively small and strong fields. The probability is suppressed by…
Several non-threshold reactions which may be used to detect the cosmic neutrino background are presented. The corresponding cross sections are calculated analytically within the Standard Model. These reactions are sensitive not only to the…
We consider the process $K_L \ra \mu^\pm e^\mp \nu \overline{\nu}$ at next to leading order in chiral perturbation theory. This process occurs in the standard model at second order in the weak interaction and constitutes a potential…
A Monte Carlo study of possible background processes in a search for $\tau \to \mu \gamma$ decay has been performed for conditions of the Super $c-\tau$ factory (CTF) (at a center-of-mass energy 3.686 GeV, 3.77 GeV and 4.17 GeV). The…
The resonant structure of the four pion final state in the decay $\tau \to 3\pi\pi^0\nu_\tau$ is analyzed using 4.27 million $\tau^+\tau^-$ pairs collected by the CLEO II experiment. We search for second class currents in the decay $\tau…
In this paper we evaluate sources of background for the $\gamma p \to \omega p$, with the $\omega$ detected through its $\pi^0 \gamma$ decay channel, to compare with the experiment carried out at ELSA. We find background from $\gamma p \to…
We investigate and characterize the emergence of finite-component dissipative phase transitions (DPTs) in nonlinear photon resonators subject to $n$-photon driving and dissipation. Exploiting a semiclassical approach, we derive general…
I discuss how b decays can be used to unravel new physics beyond the Standard Model. Decays second order in the weak interaction involving loops and CP violation are emphasized. This information is complementary to that obtainable with…
The "\tau\to 3\pi\eta\nu" decay with the "\eta \to \gamma\gamma" mode is studied using 384 fb^-1 of data collected by the BaBar detector. The branching fraction is measured to be (1.60+/-0.05+/-0.11)x10^-4. It is found that "\tau \to f1 \pi…
The rare second-class decay mode of the $\tau$ into $\eta\pi\nu$ could be observed for the first time at Belle II. It is important to try to derive a reliable evaluation of the branching fraction and of the energy distribution of this mode…
We calculated the differential cross sections of the processes in which one of the pair created tau particles at an e^+ e^- collider decays into lepton flavor violating final states e.g. tau -> mu gamma, tau -> 3 mu, tau -> mu ee. Using the…
The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations reported that the observed number of Higgs boson decays into a $Z$ boson and a photon is $\mu = 2.2 \pm 0.7$ times higher than predicted by the Standard Model. Initially, this discrepancy was attributed to a…
Using a low background data sample of $9.7\times10^{5}$ $J\psi\rightarrow\gamma\eta^\prime$, $\eta^\prime\rightarrow\gamma\pi^+\pi^-$ events, which are 2 orders of magnitude larger than those from the previous experiments, recorded with the…
Tremendous efforts are required to scale the summit of observing neutrinoless double beta decay ($0 \nu \beta \beta$). This article quantitatively explores the interplay between exposure (target mass X data taking time) and background…
It is shown that the rare decays $Z \to \nu \bar{nu} \gamma$ and $Z \to \nu \bar{\nu} \gamma \gamma$ are useful to put model-independent bounds on neutrino-one-photon and neutrino-two-photon interactions. The results are then used to…
