An isospin analysis of $B\to\pi\pi$ decays yields $\sin 2\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the usual CKM angle $\alpha\equiv arg [-V_{td}V_{tb}^\ast /(V_{ud}V_{ub}^\ast)]$, without hadronic uncertainty if isospin is a perfect symmetry. Isospin,…
We show that in a multi-Higgs model in which one Higgs fits the LHC 125 GeV state, one or more of the other Higgs bosons can mediate DM-nucleon interactions with maximal DM isospin violation being possible for appropriate Higgs-quark…
Isospin symmetry breaking (ISB) effects in the charge radius difference $\Delta R_{\rm ch}$ of mirror nuclei are studied using the test example of ${}^{48}$Ca and ${}^{48}$Ni. This choice allows for a transparent study of ISB contributions…

In this paper we demonstrate that the selection of events with different multiplicities of produced particles, leads to the violation of the azimuthal angular symmetry, $\phi \to \pi - \phi$. We find for LHC and lower energies, that this…
We revisit the analysis of transverse single-spin asymmetries $A_N$ in lepton-nucleon scattering where only a single pion is detected in the final state, $\ell\,N^\uparrow\to h\, X$. This observable is the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)…
Recent progress in the determination of hadronic matrix elements has revealed a tension between the measured value of $\epsilon_K^{\prime}/\epsilon_K$, which quantifies direct $CP$ violation in $K \to \pi\pi$ decays, and the Standard-Model…
