We consider the theory of a light conformally coupled scalar field, i.e., one that is coupled directly to the Ricci scalar of the gravitational sector. This theory can be written equivalently as one of a light scalar that is coupled to the…

In the standard model production of on-shell Z boson at a photon collider (or Z decays into $\gamma\gamma$) is strictly forbidden by angular momentum conservation and Bose statistics (the Yang's Theorem). In the standard model with…
We employ the multipole expansion within the unified electroweak theory to develop a complete calculation method of the electron scattering cross section for light nuclei. The specific calculations for 6,7Li and 7Be nuclei indicate that the…

A simple extension of the Standard Model consists of a scalar field that can potentially constitute the dark matter (DM). Significant attention has been devoted to probing light $\mathcal{O}(\lesssim 10~\rm{eV})$ scalar DM, with a multitude…
We bound the coupling of pseudo-scalar particles to Tr G^G_{QCD} using (the lack of) monojet plus missing E_T events at the Tevatron, and estimate the bounds obtainable from LHC. In addition, we revisit the bounds on the coupling to…
