In this paper we describe the apparatus used in this experiment and the procedure of data treatment. We give the latest experimental results and discuss the possibility to observe diurnal variations of the count rates due to rotation of the…
We briefly summarise the current status of neutrino masses and mixing, paying special attention to the prospects for observing new leptonic interactions.
We provide a modern pedagogical introduction to light mesons. We discuss their masses and widths, their classification into multiplets of isospin and flavor SU(3), as well as other quantum numbers, mixing schemes, observable states, and…
We review some older and more recent results concerning the energy and particle distribution in ground states of heavy Coulomb systems. The reviewed results are asymptotic in nature: they describe properties of many-particle systems in the…
The invariant mass of free particles is used to derive a bound-state equation for the hydrogen atom at rest. This equation has the well-known solutions for the single-particle states. Existence of two-particle bound states, for which the…
We investigate structural resonances in multi-element optical resonators and provide a roadmap for the description of the interaction of single extended cavity modes with quantum emitters or mechanical resonators. Using a first principle…
The proton radius puzzle questions the self-consistency of theory and experiment in light muonic and electronic bound systems. Here, we summarize the current status of virtual particle models as well as Lorentz-violating models that have…
We present the recent developments in the studies of the structure of hadron resonances, focusing on the compositeness in terms of the hadronic degrees of freedom. We discuss the model dependence of the compositeness, and show that the…

The existence of stable multiquarks made of heavy quarks and antiquarks is discussed in the framework of potential models. It is stressed that the few-body problem should be handled seriously and accurately. No bound state is found within…
The excitation spectrum of light mesons, which are composed of up, down, and strange quarks, is studied since decades. However, it still holds a number of puzzles and surprises that provide new insights into the nature of the strong…

The composite nature of baryons manifests itself in the existence of a rich spectrum of excited states, in particular in the important mass region 1-2 GeV for the light-flavoured baryons. The properties of these resonances can be identified…
This paper is devoted to exploring how we can discover and study nearby (< 1-2 kpc) planetary and binary systems by observing their action as gravitational lenses. Lensing can extend the realm of nearby binaries and planets that can be…
New developments in the study of multi-meson systems are reviewed. We highlight a new recursive algorithm for generating the requisite contractions needed for studying complex systems of mesons involving large numbers of particles or…
We investigate resonant active-sterile neutrino oscillations emergent from the interplay between matter, CPT- and Lorentz-violating coefficients with different energy dependences. Novel and experimentally accessible resonant neutrino…

Results of accurate computations of bound states in three- and four-electron atomic systems are discussed. Bound state properties of the four-electron lithium ion Li$^{-}$ in its ground $2^{2}S-$state are determined from the results of…
Neutron stars have long been regarded as extra-terrestrial laboratories from which we can learn about extreme energy density matter at low temperatures. In this article, I highlight some of the recent advances made in astrophysical…
