We demonstrate that abundant quantities of short-lived beta unstable ions can be trapped in a novel transparent Paul trap and that their decay products can directly be detected in coincidence. Low energy 6He+ (807 ms half-life) ions were…

We investigate the potential to measure the electro-weak couplings of scalar leptoquarks $\Phi_s$ at TESLA for energies in the range of $\sqrt{s} \simeq 1 \TeV$ using the pair production process $e^+e^- \to \Phi_s \bar{\Phi}_s$.
The initial $P$-invariance of the electroweak interaction Lagrangian together with the low-energy results of the Weinberg-Salam model is provided by a local secondary symmetry. Among the transformation parameters of this symmetry there are…
We investigate the constraints on four-Fermi contact interactions from low-energy lepton-quark and lepton-lepton scattering experiments --- polarization asymmetries in electron (muon)-nucleon scattering experiments, cesium and thallium atom…
A comparison is made of the probability of the process of two neutrino double beta decay for $^{82}$Se in direct (counter) and geochemical experiments. It is shown that the probability is systematically lower in geochemical experiments,…
Tetrads are introduced in order to study the relationship between tetrad gauge states of spacetime and particle interactions, specially in weak processes at low energy. Through several examples like inverse Muon decay, elastic…
