The contributions to the reaction cross section from the elastic and inelastic breakup processes, calculated within the post-form distorted wave Born-approximation theory, are used as constraints to determine the contributions to the…
Formulas to describe the photoabsorption and the photon scattering by a plasma or a liquid metal are derived in a unified manner with each other. It is shown how the nuclear motion, the free-electron motion and the core-electron behaviour…

We do not understand light. I argue that a terascale photon collider is necessary to determine the structure of the photon at 100 GeV. Uncertainties in photon parton distribution functions lead to cross section predictions that vary by a…
The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, so its height determines the nature of processes in the atmosphere and depends on them. The criterion for determining the height of the tropopause is a decrease in…
Using a relation between a bi-orthogonal set of equiseparable bases and the weak values of the density matrix we derive an explicit formula for its tomographic reconstruction completely analogous to the standard mutually unbiased bases…

We have used the PIBETA large acceptance detector for a precise measurement of the $\pi^+ \to e^+\nu\gamma$ radiative decay at rest, with broad phase space coverage. Using the CVC value for the pion vector form factor, $F_V = 0.0259(5)$, we…
Dark photons are particles invoked in some extensions of the Standard Model which could account for at least part of the dark matter content of the Universe. It has been proposed that the production of dark photons in stellar interiors…
