If active neutrinos undergo non-standard (`secret') interactions (NS$\nu$I) the cosmological evolution of the neutrino fluid might be altered, leaving an imprint in cosmological observables. We use the latest publicly available CMB data…
In the context of the left--right symmetric model, the decay $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ receives contributions from the gauge interactions mediated mainly by the $W_L$, through $W_L$--$W_R$ mixing and also from the Yukawa interactions of the…
In most versions of beyond the standard model (BSM) physics, the Yukawa couplings of the quarks and charged leptons are not all to the same complex scalar doublet but to different ones. Comparison to the standard model (SM) with only one…
We present results for the renormalized quartic self-coupling $\lambda_R$ and the Yukawa coupling $y_R$ in a lattice fermion-Higgs model with two SU(2)$_L$ doublets, mostly for large values of the bare couplings. One-component (`reduced')…
The main objective of the present work is to extend these investigations by computing the gravity and limb-darkening coefficients for white dwarf atmosphere models with hydrogen, helium, or mixed compositions (types DA, DB, and DBA). We…
A new model of the bremsstrahlung emission which accompanies proton decay and collisions of protons off nuclei in the energy region from the lowest up to intermediate, has been developed. This model includes spin formalism, potential…
We calculate the emission of bremsstrahlung from lead and argon ions in A Fixed Target ExpeRiment (AFTER) that uses the LHC beams. With nuclear charges of $Ze$ equal $208$ and $18$ respectively, these ions are accelerated to energies of $7$…
We present the results of a long-slit K-band spectroscopic search with CGS4 on UKIRT for H-alpha emission from the objects responsible for high-redshift (z > 2) damped Ly-alpha absorption systems. The objective was to measure the…
Within a covariant effective one-boson exchange model for the $T$ matrix of $NN$ interactions we present detailed calculations of bremsstrahlung cross sections for proton - proton and proton - neutron reactions at beam energies in the 1 GeV…
We study a model with two Higgs doublets where FCNC are allowed at tree-level. In this model, the interactions of charged Higgs with fermions ($H^\pm f \bar{f'}$), include a term that is not proportional to the fermion masses, which we…
We consider a simple renormalizable dark matter model consisting of two real scalars with a mass splitting $\delta$, interacting with the SM particles through the Higgs portal. We find a viable parameter space respecting all the bounds…
We study the production of sterile neutrinos in the region $T\sim M_W$ in an extension beyond the standard model with the see-saw mass matrix originating in Yukawa couplings to Higgs-like scalars with masses and vev's of the order of the…
We derive stringent limits on neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet models from low-energy observables after the discovery of the Higgs boson and of the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$. These decays can constrain the plane spanned by $m_{H^\pm}$, the…
We study the low energy phenomena induced by the lightest charged Higgs in the private Higgs (PH) model, in which each quark flavor is associated with a Higgs doublet. We show that the couplings of the charged Higgs scalars to fermions are…
We study a modification of the Higgs inflation scenario where we introduce an extra scalar $\phi$, with mass $m$, coupled to the Ricci scalar as $g\phi^2 R$, and mixed with the Higgs field $h$ via the Lagrangian term $\mu \phi h^2$. Both…
We revisit cooling bounds on light Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons, as arise in the dark dimension scenario, considering red giants, neutron stars, and supernovae. In addition to bremsstrahlung, we account for two novel production channels:…
We calculate the pair-annihilation cross section of real scalar singlet dark matter into two mono-energetic photons. We derive constraints on the theory parameter space from the Fermi limits on gamma-ray lines, and we compare with current…
In plasmas, bremsstrahlung includes electron-ion (e-i) bremsstrahlung and electron-electron (e-e) bremsstrahlung. Bremsstrahlung radiation power loss is one of the most significant losses in fusion plasmas, which is more pronounced in…
We present the first fully quantum mechanical calculation of photon radiation accompanying charged particle decay from a barrier resonance. The soft-photon limit agrees with the classical results, but differences appear at…
We study a scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking where the weak gauge boson masses arises significantly from a fermiophobic source. To minimize flavor violation, the fermion mass generation is still due to one light doublet scalar. One…
