Recently, the ATOMKI experiment has reported new evidence for the excess of $e^+ e^-$ events with a mass $\sim$17 MeV in the nuclear transitions of $^4$He, that they previously observed in measurements with $^8$Be. These observations could…

We propose a direct search for the X17 particle, which was conjectured to explain the ATOMKI $^8$Be and $^4$He anomalies, through the dilepton photoproduction process on a nucleon in the photon energy range below or around the pion…

The littlest Higgs (LH) model predicts the existence of the new gauge bosons $Z'$ and $B'$. We calculate the contributions of these new particles to the processes $e^{+}e^{-}\to\bar{f}f$ with $f=\tau, \mu, b,$ or $c$ and study the…

At very high energies, pair production ($\gamma\to e^+e^-$) exhibits many interesting features. The momentum transfer from the target is very small, so the reaction probes the macroscopic properties of the target, rather than individual…

A simple method to explore the interaction of antihyperons in nuclei by exclusive hyperon-antihyperon pair production close to threshold in antiproton nucleus interactions is proposed. Due to energy and momentum conservation event-by-event…

We study the loop-induced process e+e- --> W+H- in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). This process allows the charged Higgs boson to be produced in e+e- collisions when its mass is larger than half the center-of-mass energy,…
