The critical charge $Z_c$ is estimated for elementary particles using a Newton-Wigner position operator inspired model. Particles with $Z \sim Z_c$ (maxicharged particles), if they exist at all, can have unusual properties which turn them…

Molecular collisions can be studied at very low relative kinetic energies, in the milliKelvin range, by merging codirectional beams with much higher translational energies, extending even to the kiloKelvin range, provided that the beam…
A coupling of a dark photon $A'$ from a $U(1)_{A'}$ with the standard model (SM) particles can be generated through kinetic mixing represented by a parameter $\epsilon$. A non-zero $\epsilon$ also induces a mixing between $A'$ and $Z$ if…
