A new strong-interaction has been postulated for neutrinos above ~10^{19} eV to explain the production of highest-energy cosmic ray events. We derive a dispersion relation relating the hypothesized high-energy cross-section to the…
Recent experiments on electron- or hole-doped SrTiO$_{3}$ have revealed a hitherto unknown form of superconductivity, where the Fermi energy of the paired electrons is much lower than the energies of the bosonic excitations thought to be…
Dark photons, hypothetical feebly interacting massive vector bosons, appear in many extensions of the Standard Model. This study investigates their production and subsequent decay during supernova explosions. We demonstrate that the decay…
We propose an atom-interferometry experiment based on the scalar Aharonov-Bohm effect which detects an atom charge at the 10^{-28}e level, and improves the current laboratory limits by 8 orders of magnitude. This setup independently probes…
The null results in the new physics searches at the LHC do not exclude an intermediate-mass new particle if it is fermiophobic. Type-I in the two-Higgs-doublet model accommodates a fermiophobic light Higgs boson $h_{\rm f}$ if…
Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interference of fractional quasiparticles in the quantum Hall Effect generally reveals their elementary charge ($e^*$)[1-15]. Recently, our interferometry experiments with several particle states reported flux periods of…
As known, electron vacuum polarization by nuclear Coulomb field produces Uehling potential with the range $\hbar/2m_e c$. Similarly, neutrino vacuum polarization by $Z$ boson field produces long range potential $\sim G_F^2/r^5$ with a very…
Using a relativistic transport (ART) model, we study the stopping power, the formation of superdense hadronic matter as well as the strength of transverse and radial flow in central Au+Au collisions at beam momentum from 2 to 12 GeV/c per…
As a strong candidate for new physics beyond the Standard Model, the exotic charged gauge boson $W^{\prime}$ has attracted extensive research interest. In this work we investigate the interactions of the $W^{\prime}$ boson at the…
The effect of a fermion with angular momentum j on quantum phase transitions of a (s,d) bosonic system is investigated. It is shown that the presence of a fermion strongly modifies the critical value at which the transition occurs, and its…
The proton-neutron 2 particles - 2 holes correlations in superfluid nuclei, described by an effective, Josephson-type interaction ~[(P+N-)+(P-N+)], are studied within a boson approximation. The strength of this interaction is estimated…

We explore effects of the light vector $U$-boson, which is weakly coupled to nucleons, on the transition density $\rho_{t}$ and pressure $P_{t}$ at the inner edge separating the liquid core from the solid crust of neutron stars. Three…
The properties of nuclei with extreme neutron-to-proton ratios, far from those naturally occurring on Earth, are key to understand nuclear forces and how nucleons hold together to form nuclei. $^7$H, with six neutrons and a single proton,…
A reported ${17~}$MeV boson, which has been proposed as an explanation to the $^{8}$Be and $^{4}$He anomaly, is investigated in the context of its possible influence to neutron stars structure. Implementing a $m_{X}$=17 MeV to the nuclear…
In a fusion reactor, a proton and a neutron generated in previous reactions may again fuse with each other. Or they can in turn fuse with or be captured by an un-reacted deuteron. The average center-of-mass (COM) energy for such reaction is…
We study the energy of an impurity (polaron) that interacts strongly in a sea of fermions when the effective range of the impurity-fermion interaction becomes important, thereby mapping the Fermi polaron of condensed matter physics and…
In hadron-nucleus interactions, the stronger is nuclear shadowing in the total cross section the higher is the multiplicity of secondary hadrons. In deep inelastic scattering, nuclear shadowing at small $x$ is associated with the hadronlike…
We study energy and particle transport for one-dimensional strongly interacting bosons through a single channel connecting two atomic reservoirs. We show the emergence of particle- and energy- current separation, leading to the violation of…
Collisions of cosmic rays in the atmosphere may produce heavy hadrons of very high energy. The decay length of a $B$ meson of energy above $10^7$ GeV is larger than 1 km, implying that such a particle tends to interact in the air before it…
