The inclusion of supersymmetric threshold corrections to the $b$-quark mass has dramatic consequences in scenarios with large CP-mixing effects in the Higgs sector. In particular, when the phase of the combination $M_{\tilde{g}}\mu$ is…
We discuss an extra source of CP and flavor violations in supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified model with the right-handed neutrinos. In such a model, the right-handed down-type squarks \tilde{d}_R interact with the right-handed neutrinos…
We analyze the recent results for suppressed production of charged hadrons for Pb+Pb collisions at the center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV/nucleon-pair. We closely follow the treatment used recently by us where partons lose energy due to…
We study the pair production of doubly charged Higgs bosons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), assuming the doubly charged Higgs to be part of an SU(2)_L triplet which generates Majorana masses for left-handed neutrinos. Such…
We present a novel approach to the density dependent mean field and the spin-orbit interaction of a $\Lambda$-hyperon in a nuclear many-body system, based on flavor-SU(3) in-medium chiral perturbation theory. The leading long-range $\Lambda…
We predict the energy per baryon in nuclear matter with non-zero fraction of $\Lambda$ hyperons. We include Dirac effects on the nucleons as well as the $\Lambda$ and describe how the latter is implemented. We use the nucleon-hyperon…
The possibility of discovering heavy Majorana neutrinos and lepton number violation via the like sign dilepton signal at hadron super- colliders is investigated. The cross-sections for the production of these neutrinos singly as well as in…
Much heavier sfermions of the first-two generations than the other superparticles provide a natural explanation for the flavor and CP problems in the supersymmetric standard model (SUSY SM). However, the heavy sfermions may drive the mass…
The hyperon-hyperon potentials due to a recent SU(3) Nijmegen soft-core potential model are incorporated within a relativistic mean field calculation of strange hadronic matter. We find considerably higher binding energy in bulk matter…
The dynamics of the strangeness-exchange reactions antiproton-proton to AntiLambda-Lambda, AntiLambda-Sigma or AntiSigma-Sigma is discussed, either at the hadron level, in terms of strange-meson exchange, or at the quark level, in terms of…
Equivalent interactions in a low-momentum space for the $\Lambda N$, $\Sigma N$ and $\Xi N$ interactions are calculated, using the SU$_6$ quark model potential as well as the Nijmegen OBEP model as the input bare interaction. Because the…
Hypernuclei are bound states of neutrons, protons and one or two hyperons, thus extending the nuclear landscape to a third dimension. They also encode information about the baryon-baryon and three-baryon interactions. Here, we review recent…
Based on the UrQMD model, we have investigated the influence of the symmetry potential on the negatively and positively charged $\pi$ and $\Sigma$ hyperon production ratios in heavy ion collisions at the SIS energies. We find that, in…

Lepton number violation plays an essential role in many scenarios of neutrino mass generation and also provides new clues to search new physics beyond the standard model. We consider the neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model ($\nu$-2HDM)…
