We show that quantum effects modify the decay rate of Poincar\'e recurrences P(t) in classical chaotic systems with hierarchical structure of phase space. The exponent p of the algebraic decay P(t) ~ 1/t^p is shown to have the universal…

As revealed previously, under the assumption that some pulses of gamma-ray bursts are produced by shocks in spherical fireballs or uniform jets of large opening angles, there exists a standard decay form of the profile of pulses arising…

We investigate the survival probability of a localized 1-d quantum particle subjected to a time dependent potential of the form $rU(x)\sin{\omega t}$ with $U(x)=2\delta (x-a)$ or $U(x)= 2\delta(x-a)-2\delta (x+a)$. The particle is initially…

Recent experimental results of ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})$ deviate from the standard model (SM) by $3.1\sigma$, suggesting a new physics (NP) that affects the $b\to c \tau \bar\nu_\tau$ transition. Motivated by this, we investigate the possible NP…

Decay law of a complicated unstable state formed in a high energy collision is described by the Fourier transform of the two-point correlation function of the scattering matrix. Although each constituent resonance state decays exponentially…

The radiative leptonic $B\to \gamma\ell\nu_{\ell}$ decay serves as an ideal platform to determine the $B$-meson inverse moment which is a fundamental nonperturbative parameter for the $B$ meson. In this paper, we explore precise QCD…

We consider the acceleration of charged particles near ultra-relativistic shocks, with Lorentz factor Gamma_s >> 1. We present simulations of the acceleration process and compare these with results from semi-analytical calculations. We show…

On the basis of perturbative QCD and the relativistic quark model we calculate relativistic and bound state corrections in the production processes of a pair of S-wave and P-wave charmonium states. Relativistic factors in the production…

The efforts in this contribution consist in reassessing a modified Dirac equation that incorporates a $\gamma^0 \gamma_5$-Lorentz-symmetry violating (LSV) term induced as a Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) effect. Originally, this equation has…

Many problems in quantum dynamics can be cast as the decay of a single quantum state into a continuum. The time-dependent overlap with the initial state, called the fidelity, characterizes this decay. We derive an analytic expression for…

By controlling coefficients and decaying order of time-decaying harmonic potentials, the velocity of a quantum particle is decelerated by the effect of harmonic potentials but the particle is non-trapping. In this paper, we consider the…

The extinction transition in the presence of a localized quenched defect is studied numerically. When the bulk is at criticality, the correlation length diverges and even an infinite system cannot "decouple" from the defect. The results…

The standard bounce formalism for calculating the decay rate of a metastable vacuum cannot be applied to theories in which the symmetry breaking is due to radiative corrections, because in such theories the tree-level action has no bounce…
