The possibility of using a trap with ultracold neutrons as a detector of dark matter particles with long-range forces is considered. The basic advantage of the proposed method lies in possibility of detecting the recoil energy 10-7 eV. The…
We have performed three-flavor Boltzmann neutrino transport radiation hydrodynamics simulations covering a period of 3 s after the formation of a protoneutron star in a core-collapse supernova explosion. Our results show that a treatment of…
We update a previous investigation of cosmological effects of a non-standard interaction between neutrinos and dark matter. Parameterizing the elastic-scattering cross section between the two species as a function of the temperature of the…
Neutrinos can polarize a medium due to their weak interaction. This can manifest itself as an effective induced charge of the neutrino. We show how it is related to the Debye screening length in a plasma, first using the results of the…
Within the context of the Standard Model, quarks are placed in a $(\mathbf{3},\mathbf{2})\oplus (\mathbf{3},\bar{\mathbf{2}})$ matter field representation of $U_{EW}(2)$. Although the quarks carry unit intrinsic electric charge in this…
The negative values for the squares of both electron and muon neutrino masses obtained in recent experiments are explained as a possible consequence of a change in metric within the weak-interaction volume in the energy-momentum…
We present a derivation of the flavor neutrino states which describe neutrinos produced or detected in charged-current weak-interaction processes, including those operating in neutrino oscillation experiments. We also present a covariant…
The consistent description of the nuclear response at low and high momentum transfer requires a unified dynamical model, suitable to account for both short- and long-range correlation effects. We report the results of a study of the charged…
The Weak Gravity Conjecture is typically stated as a bound on the mass-to-charge ratio of a particle in the theory. Alternatively, it has been proposed that its natural formulation is in terms of the existence of a particle which is…
The strong nuclear interaction between nucleons (protons and neutrons) is the effective force that holds the atomic nucleus together. This force stems from fundamental interactions between quarks and gluons (the constituents of nucleons)…
In spite of enormous experimental progress in determination of the neutrino parameters, theory of neutrino mass and mixing is still on the cross-roads. Guidelines could be (i) the connection between zero neutrino charges (and therefore a…
We consider (\nu_\mu --> \nu_e) oscillations in long baseline experiments within a three flavor framework. A non-zero measurement of this oscillation probability implies that the (13) mixing angle `phi' is non-zero. We consider the effect…
We propose a theory that equips the active neutrinos with interactions among themselves that are at least three orders of magnitude stronger than the weak interaction. We introduce an Abelian gauge group $U(1)_x$ with vacuum expectation…
We consider two point-like charges in electrostatic interaction between them within the framework of a nonlinear model, associated with QED, that provides finiteness of their field energy. We find the common field of the two charges in a…
By analogy with the solution of the classical physics problems achieved not by an extension of the established dynamic and symmetry knowledge but by the emergence of a fundamentally new empirical physical constant h leading to quantum…
We analyze new data from the COHERENT experiment of the coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering to investigate the electromagnetic interactions of neutrinos. With almost double the statistics and precision now, the statistical significance of…
Despite the enormous achievements, the Standard model of Particle physics can not be consider as complete theory of fundamental interactions. Among other things, it can not describe the gravitational interaction and it depends on 19…
We consider mathematical models of the weak decay of the vector bosons $W^{\pm}$ into leptons. The free quantum field hamiltonian is perturbed by an interaction term from the standard model of particle physics. After the introduction of…
In this paper, we study a photon, a massive charged particle, and a massive neutrino passing through matter. The hypothetical left-right symmetric weak interaction, which is used in Wolfenstein's equation can generate the resonance…
The $r^{-n}$ interaction energy, $1\leq n< 3$, for a infinitely periodic system with explicit charges and a neutralizing, uniform background charge density is derived. An Ewald based expression for this energy has an extra term proportional…
