A narrow elliptic ring containing an electron threaded by a magnetic field B is studied. When the ring is highly flattened, the increase of B would lead to a big energy gap between the ground and excited states, and therefore lead to a…

Scalar fields with inverse power-law effective potentials may provide a negative pressure component to the energy density of the universe today, as required by cosmological observations. In order to be cosmologically relevant today, the…
We investigate the TeV-scale stringy signals of the four-fermion scattering at the electron-positron collider with the center of mass energy 500-1000 GeV. The nature of the stringy couplings leads to distinguishable asymmetries comparing to…
We review a possible non-minimal coupling (dilatonic) of a scalar field (axion like particle) to electromagnetism, through experimental and observational constraints. Such a coupling is motivated from recent quasar spectrum observations…
The existence of cosmic fields made from yet unknown light bosons is predicted in many extensions to the Standard Model. They are especially of interest as possible constituents of dark matter. To detect such light and weakly interacting…
In contrast to the common wisdom, we discover that, instead of the exponential fall-off of the form factors with Regge-pole structure, the high-energy scattering amplitudes of string scattered from Domain-wall behave as power-law with…
Antisymmetric tensor fields with chiral couplings to quarks and leptons may induce spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking in a model without a ``fundamental'' Higgs scalar. No microscopic local mass term for the chiral tensors or…
We determine a lower bound for the entanglement of pairs of electron spins injected into a mesoscopic conductor. The bound can be expressed in terms of experimentally accessible quantities, the zero-frequency current correlators (shot noise…
A string-inspired 3-form-dilaton-gravity model is studied in a Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario. As expected, the rank-3 antisymmetric field is exponentially suppressed. For each mass level, the mass spectrum is bigger than the one for…
In this work we study the scattering and transfer matrices for electric fields defined with respect to an angular spectrum of plane waves. For these matrices, we derive the constraints that are enforced by conservation of energy,…
We explore the hemispherical asymmetry predicted in cosmic microwave background polarization when there is an asymmetry in temperature anisotropies due to primordial perturbations. We consider the cases of asymmetries due to adiabatic and…
Cross sections and spin asymmetries for elastic positron scattering and for the emission of positron bremsstrahlung in collision with nuclei of zero and half-integer spin are calculated within the relativistic partial-wave theory. For…
Twistor string models have been known for more than a decade now but have come back under the spotlight recently with the advent of the scattering equation formalism which has greatly generalized the scope of these models. A striking…
We pursue a coherent analysis of hyperbolically symmetric static sources by extending the work of Herrera \cite{26} to the case of electromagnetic field. We deeply analyze the impact of such a force on the physical characteristics of the…

Cosmic strings can arise in hidden sector models with a spontaneously broken Abelian symmetry group. We have studied the couplings of the Standard Model fields to these so-called dark strings in the companion paper. Here we survey the…
