The superluminal is reported in OPERA neutrino experiment (arXiv:1109.4897v2), this result is consistent with previous MINOS experiment about neutrino velocity (Phys. Rev. D 76, 072005 (2007)). Here we propose a Dirac equation of tachyon…
In this work the phenomenology of models possessing a non-minimal coupling between matter and geometry is discussed, with a particular focus on the possibility of describing the flattening of the galactic rotation curves as a dynamically…
Torsion effects, including a spin precession in the torsion field, are considered. Some properties of neutrinos in cosmology are discussed. In the framework of Trautman's cosmological model with torsion estimated is a specific angular…
The possibility off measuring for the first time neutrino-nuclei coherent scattering has been recently discussed by several experimental collaborations. It is shown that such a measurement may be very sensitive to non-standard interactions…
We study neutrinos gravitationally scattered off a rotating supermassive black hole which is surrounded by a thin accretion disk with a realistic magnetic field. Neutrinos are supposed to be Dirac particles having a nonzero magnetic moment.…
The presence of massive neutrinos affects the growth of large-scale structure in the universe, leaving a potentially observable imprint on the abundance and properties of massive dark matter-dominated halos. Cosmological surveys detect…
Observations provide increasingly strong evidence that the universe is accelerating. This revolutionary advance in cosmological observations confronts theoretical cosmology with a tremendous challenge, which it has so far failed to meet.…
We show that a slowly varying Newton's constant, consistent with existing bounds, can potentially explain a host of observations pertaining to gravitational effects or phenomena across distances spanning from planetary to the cosmological,…
The discrepancy between dynamical mass measures of objects such as galaxies and the observed distribution of luminous matter in the universe is typically explained by invoking an unseen ``dark matter'' component. Dark matter must…
Interaction of magnetic moment of point particles with external electromagnetic fields experiences unresolved theoretical and experimental discrepancies. In this work we point out several issues within the relativistic quantum mechanics and…
We add to the Standard Model a new fermion $\chi$ with minimal baryon number 1/3. Neutron decay $n \to \chi\chi\chi$ into non-relativistic $\chi$ can account for the neutron decay anomaly, compatibly with bounds from neutron stars. $\chi$…
Neutrino oscillations change when in media in comparison to vacuum oscillations due to the scattering of neutrinos on matter constituents, electrons particularly. This can be easily described by introducing new effective matter mixing…
This report offers a modern perspective on the problem of negative energy, based on a re-examination of the concept of time direction as it arises in a classical and quantum-mechanical context. From this analysis emerges an improved…
The neutrino-nucleon scattering in a collapsing star envelope with a strong magnetic field is investigated. The transferred by neutrinos momentum asymmetry along the field direction is obtained. It is shown that the neutrino-nucleon…
Solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino experiments established that neutrinos are massive. It is quite natural then to consider neutrinos as candidate particles for explaining the dark matter in halos around galaxies. We study the…
The evidence for the existence of dark matter in the universe is reviewed. A general picture emerges, where both baryonic and non-baryonic dark matter is needed to explain current observations. In particular, a wealth of observational…
We develop the theoretical model that describes dynamic non-equilibrium effects of external inertial and axion fields in a system of particles with spin. The possibility of using the spin density and the current density of non-relativistic…
An algebraic characterization of the contractions of the Poincar\'e group permits a proper construction of a non-relativistic limit of its tachyonic representation. We arrive at a consistent, nonstandard representation of the Galilei group…
The Keplerian distribution of velocities is not observed in the rotation of large scale structures, such as found in the rotation of spiral galaxies. The deviation from Keplerian distribution provides compelling evidence of the presence of…
Neutron stars provide a cosmic laboratory to study the nature of dark matter particles and their interactions. Dark matter can be captured by neutron stars via scattering, where kinetic energy is transferred to the star. This can have a…
