Exclusive pseudoscalar meson production in ep scattering at high energies is a direct probe for a possible "odderon" exchange in soft hadronic processes. Using a simple phenomenological ansatz for the odderon, we demonstrate how it can be…

We consider a novel class of hard branching hadronic processes a+b->c+d+e, where hadrons c and d have large and nearly opposite transverse momenta and large invariant energy which is a finite fraction of the total invariant energy. We use…
When heavy ions with high energy collide, a hot and dense matter is produced. As the matter expands, the matter undergoes cross-over phase transition from partonic matter to hadronic matter. Jets are created by high pT partons in the early…
The existence of a new spin-zero particle with a mass below the electroweak scale is predicted by several theoretical models. Searches for resonant production of photon pairs at the LHC are able to probe these models. We present a search…

The axion-like particles $a$ can be produced in the Sun via the process of $p + D \to {}^3{\rm He} +a$, with mass up to 5.5 MeV. The photons in the subsequent decay $a \to \gamma\gamma$ can deviate significantly from the Sun, or even from…
