An extensive generalization of the ordinary and quasi-eikonal methods is presented for the $pp$ and $\bar pp$ elastic scattering amplitudes, which takes into account in a phenomenological way all intermediate multiparticle states involving…
We test the validity of the black disk limit in elastic scattering by studying the evolution of the dip in the scaling variable $\tau=-t_{D}\sigma^{tot}$, where $t_{D}$ is the transverse momentum squared at the dip and $\sigma_{tot}$ the…
It is known that the cosmological baryon density (Omega(b)) and dark matter density (Omega(dm)) have strikingly similar values. However, in most theories of the early Universe, each density is explained by separate dynamics and consequently…
We report on unprecedented short-term variations detected in the optical flux from the black hole binary system, V4641 Sgr. Amplitudes of the optical fluctuations were larger at longer time scales, and surprisingly reached ~60% around a…
We analyze the motion of a {\it massless} and {\it chargeless} particle very near to the event horizon. It reveals that the radial motion has exponential growing nature which indicates that there is a possibility of inducing chaos in the…
We consider consequences of violation of the black disk limit possibly revealed by the new CDF measurements of the total, elastic and diffractive cross--sections.
It is known that the cosmological baryon density ($\Omega_{\rm{b}}$) and dark matter density ($\Omega_{\rm{dm}}$) have strikingly similar values. However, in most theories of the early Universe, each density is explained by separate…
We provide arguments for the use of the rational form of unitarization, its relation with the diffraction peak shrinkage and asymptotics of the inelastic cross--section. The particular problems of the Regge model and the exponential form of…
We discuss the profile of the impact--parameter dependent elastic scattering amplitude. Extraction of impact-parameter dependence from the dataset with inclusion of the experimental data on elastic scattering at the LHC energies helps to…
We study the high-energy behavior of the elastic scattering amplitude using two distinct unitarization schemes: the eikonal and the $U$-matrix. Our analysis begins with a formalism involving solely Pomerons, incorporating pion-loop…
Arguments are presented for the odderon intercept being exactly equal to unity. A variational method is presented based on a complete system of one-gluon functions. For the odderon, the highest intercept calculated by this method is…
Dark matter overdensities around black holes can alter the dynamical evolution of a companion object orbiting around it, and cause a dephasing of the gravitational waveform. Here, we present a refined calculation of the co-evolution of the…
Recent results on the slope of the $pp$ diffraction cone measured by TOTEM at $7$ and $8$ GeV show an unexpected rapid rise in $s$, close to $B(s)\sim \ln^2$, rather than $\ln s$, typical of the Regge-pole predictions. We show that the new…
Disks of low-mass bodies scattered by giant planets to large semi-major axis and constant periapsis orbits are vulnerable to a buckling instability. This instability exponentially grows orbital inclinations, raises periapsis distances, and…
Both classical and quantum arguments suggest that if Barrow entropy is correct, its index $\delta$ must be energy dependent, which would affect the very early universe. Based on thermodynamic stability that sufficiently large black holes…
We comment on recent results of a possible finite theory of Super Gravity from both Feynman graph and global E(7,7) symmetry arguments. The four point amplitude can be written as a series in the gravitational coupling and energy squared,…
We argue that in the high energy QCD a true black disk wave function necessarily contains many quarks. This corresponds to necessity of non-vacuum reggeon loops in formation of a black disk. The result comes from decomposition of the black…
In the present paper, we extend the Froissaron-Maximal Odderon (FMO) approach at $t$ different from 0. Our extended FMO approach gives an excellent description of the 3266 experimental points considered in a wide range of energies and…
Neutrinoless double beta decay violates lepton number by two units, a positive observation therefore necessarily implies physics beyond the standard model. Here, three possible contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay are briefly…
There is a maximum for the gravity of a black hole in the vertical direction in the accretion disc. Outflows may probably be driven from the disc if the radiation flux of the disc is greater than a critical value corresponding to the…
