The measurements of the mean lifetime of the tau lepton are reviewed. The conditions for measuring the lifetime at various e+e- colliders are compared and the analysis methods are briefly described. The new developments since the previous…
We report a precise determination of the lifetime of the (4p)$^2$P$_{3/2}$ state of $^{40}$Ca$^+$, $\tau_{\textrm{P}_{3/2}}=6.639(42)$ ns, using a combination of measurements of the induced light shift and scattering rate on a single…
We reconsider the Hung and Shuryak arguments in favour of searching for the deconfinement phase transition in heavy ion collisions {\em downward} from the nominal SPS energy, at $E_{lab} \approx 30 \ GeV/A$ where the fireball lifetime is…
Nuclei with $A>282$ have been studied in the Relativistic Mean Field approach using the force FSU Gold and a zero range pairing interaction. The Euler-Lagrange equations have been solved in the co-ordinate space. Alpha nucleus potential has…
Four-body Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for Lambda-Lambda-p-n do not produce a bound state for Lambda-Lambda hydrogen 4, although suitably defined three-body Faddeev calculations for Lambda-Lambda-d produce a 1+ bound state for…
We respond to the recent suggestion by A. Gal [arXiv:2604.18259] that the sharp pion-momentum peak at $p_{\pi^-} \approx 113.8$~MeV/$c$ observed in our $^7\mathrm{Li}(e,e^\prime K^+)$ electroproduction experiment at MAMI [Phys. Rev. Lett.…
For a long time it has been established both experimentally and theoretically that $\Omega_c^0$ is shortest-lived among the four singly charmed baryons which decay weakly. The situation was dramatically changed in 2018 when LHCb reported a…
Pionium lifetime corrections to the nonrelativistic formula are calculated in the framework of the quasipotential-constraint theory approach. The calculation extends an earlier evaluation, made in the scheme of standard chiral perturbation…
A collider signal with a stable gravitino of ${\cal O}(10)$eV mass at the International Linear Collider (ILC) experiment is investigated. Such a light gravitino is generally predicted in the low-scale gauge mediation scenario of the…
Lifetimes of the doubly heavy baryons ${\cal B}_{bb}$ and ${\cal B}_{bc}$ are analyzed within the framework of the heavy quark expansion (HQE). Lifetime differences arise from the spectator effects such as $W$-exchange and Pauli…
A 3-fluid hydrodynamic model for simulating relativistic heavy-ion collisions is introduced. Alongside with two baryon-rich fluids, the new model considers time-delayed evolution of a third, baryon-free (i.e. with zero net baryonic charge)…
We review recent B+, B0d and b-baryon lifetime measurements performed by the LEP, SLD and CDF collaborations. Lifetime ratios of tau(B+) / tau(B0d) = 1.070 +/- 0.027 and tau(b baryon) / tau(B0d) = 0.77 +/- 0.04 are obtained using all…
A measurement of the Lambda_b lifetime and mass in the decay channel Lambda_b -> J/psi(mu^+ mu^-) Lambda^0(p pi^-) is presented. The analysis uses a signal sample of about 2200 Lambda_b and anti-Lambda_b decays that are reconstructed in 4.9…
Three candidate events of the neutron-rich hypernucleus 6{\Lambda}H were uniquely identified in the FINUDA experiment at DA{\Phi}NE, Frascati, by observing {\pi}+ mesons from the (K-stop,{\pi}+) production reaction on 6Li targets, in…
Heavy-ion collisions offer a unique way to study hyperon-nucleon ($Y$-$N$) interactions through two-particle momentum correlations, which reveal the source's space-time structure and the effects of the final state interactions. Correlations…
In a neutron lifetime experiment conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, protons produced by neutron decay events are confined in a Penning trap. In each run of the experiment, there is a trapping stage of duration…
The common interpretation of HBT data measured at top SPS energies leads to apparent source lifetimes of 6-8 fm/c and emission duration of approximately 2-3 fm/c. We investigate a scenario with continuous pion emission from a long-lived…
We compute for the first time the decay width of lambda-hypernuclei in a relativistic mean-field approximation to the Walecka model. Due to the small mass difference between the lambda-hyperon and its decay products---a nucleon and a…
With the example of the 229Th nucleus, which is the most likely candidate for the creation frequency standard of a future, the dynamics of the interplay and the relationship of various resonance conversion mechanisms is analyzed. As a…
We extend Voloshin's recent analysis of charmed and beauty hyperon decays based on SU(3) symmetry and heavy quark effective theory, by introducing a rather moderate model-dependence, in order to obtain more predictive power, e.g. the values…
