We propose a gravitational theory in which the effective Lagrangian of the gravitational field is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, the trace of the matter energy-momentum tensor, and the contraction of the Ricci tensor…
Certainly one of the most exciting areas of research at present is neutrino physics. The neutrinos are fantastically numerous in the universe and as such they have bearing on our understanding of the universe. Therefore, we must understand…
We determine the nucleon axial, scalar and tensor charges and the nucleon $\sigma$-terms using twisted mass fermions. We employ three ensembles with approximately equal physical volume of about 5.5~fm, three values of the lattice spacing,…
The mechanism for generating neutrino masses remains a puzzle in particle physics. If neutrino masses follow from a Dirac mass term, then neutrino states exist with opposite chirality compared to their weakly-interacting counterparts. These…
The possible source of the production of neutrino with large masses is considered. For this purpose the reaction nu+n to e+p+gamma, in which the electron in neW+ vertex is produced off-mass-shell, is studied.
The mass problem in particle physics for other fields is discussed. While the problem of the nuclear masses has been resolved within the QCD framework, 3 parameters of the ``Standard Model'' are related to the fermion sector. The origin of…
The nucleon structure and the nuclear force are investigated in the context of the non-perturbative path-integral method of hadronization. Starting from a microscopic quark-diquark model, the nucleon is generated as a relativistic bound…

We summarize recent works on the question of the nucleon mass decomposition and the 2D relativistic distribution of pressure forces on the light front. All these mechanical properties are encoded in the energy-momentum tensor of the system…
The trace anomaly term in the low energy chiral Lagrangian is established by deriving a low energy theorem for $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \pi^0\pi^0$ scattering. It contributes to $\sigma(\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \pi^0\pi^0)$ in the same…
We study a possibility to explain neutrino masses and mixings based on supersymmetry. If we introduce a flavor diagonal but generation dependent extra U(1) gauge interaction at a TeV region, we can obtain masses and mixings of neutrinos…
Motivated by the see-saw mechanism for neutrinos which naturally generates small neutrino masses, we explore how a small GUT-scale mixing between the Standard Model Higgs and an otherwise massless hidden sector scalar can naturally generate…
We compare the standard Higgs mechanism corresponding to the scalar field, with the dynamical origin of the graviton mass inside the scenario of the dRGT theory of massive gravity. We demonstrate that the effective mass perceived locally by…
The fact that neutrinos are massive has been the most crucial evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles. To date, we still do not know how neutrinos get mass and why their mass is much smaller than that of their…

The Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly for massive particles is studied in an external magnetic field. The contributions of the mean spin and the pseudoscalar are accounted for in the quasiclassical approximation. The equation for the evolution of…
