Supernova simulations to date have assumed that during core collapse electron captures occur dominantly on free protons, while captures on heavy nuclei are Pauli-blocked and are ignored. We have calculated rates for electron capture on…
The shape of the beta decay energy distribution is sensitive to the mass of the electron neutrino. Attempts to measure the endpoint shape of tritium decay have so far seen no distortion from the zero-mass form, thus placing an upper limit…

In this work we calculate the mass spectrum and decay constants of ground and excited states of heavy-light $P$-wave mesons such as $1^{++}$ and $1^{+-}$, with quark composition, $c\overline{u}, c\overline{s}, b\overline{u}, b\overline{s}$,…
The electromagnetic decay processes of excited hyperon states are a very sensitive probe of the structure of hyperons. We will argue that the recent measurements of electromagnetic decay rates indicate that the wave functions of the hyperon…

Holmium 163 offers perhaps the best chance to determine the neutrino mass by electron capture. This contribution treats the electron capture in 163 Holmium completely relativistic for the overlap and exchange corrections and the description…
Unexplained variations of the decay rate for weak interaction decays such as $\beta^{\pm}$-decay, electron capture, as well as strong interaction $\alpha$-decay have been reported. Some researcher interpreted these variations as caused by…
ALICE measured electrons from inclusive heavy-flavour hadron decays and beauty-hadron decays at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV and 2.76 TeV and p-Pb collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV. For both pp collision energies,…
We determine the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ correction to the energy spectrum of electrons produced in the decay of muons bound in atoms. We focus on the high-energy end of the spectrum that constitutes a background for the muon-electron…
The electromagnetic transition properties of the decuplet to octet baryon ($\Delta \rightarrow N\gamma$) is studied within the frame work of a hypercentral quark model. The confinement potential is assumed as hypercentral coloumb plus…
We probe the strength of electron-electron interactions using magnetoconductivity measurements of two-dimensional non-degenerate electrons on liquid helium at 1.22 K. Our data extend to electron densities that are two orders of magnitude…
