Since the mass of the electron is very small relative to atomic masses, Thomson scattering of low-energy photons ($h\nu \ll m_ec^2$) produces thermal Doppler frequency shifts that are much larger than atomic Doppler widths. A method is…
We investigate the sensitivity of future linear collider experiments to CP violating $WW\gamma$ couplings in the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to \nu\bar{\nu}\gamma$. We consider several sets of machine parameters: centre of mass energies $\sqrt{s}$…
The amplitudes for $2\rightarrow 2$ scattering processes involving longitudinally polarized gauge bosons $( W_L^\pm, Z_L )$ and the Higgs boson are analyzed up to two loops. Assuming $M_H >> M_W$, the trilinear Higgs coupling, $\lambda v$,…

The self-couplings of the electroweak gauge bosons are completely specified by the non-Abelian gauge nature of the Standard Model (SM). The direct study of these couplings provides a significant opportunity to test the validity of the SM…
We show that, as a result of non-linear self-interactions, it is feasible, at least in light of the bounds coming from terrestrial tests of gravity, measurements of the Casimir force and those constraints imposed by the physics of compact…
Symmetry-based ideas, such as the quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) principle and the tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) scheme, have been proposed to explain the observed mixing pattern of neutrinos. We argue that such symmetry relations need to…
