Anomaly detection is not an easy problem since distribution of anomalous samples is unknown a priori. We explore a novel method that gives a trade-off possibility between one-class and two-class approaches, and leads to a better performance…
The low-lying level structure of the unbound neutron-rich nucleus $^{13}$Be has been investigated via breakup on a carbon target of secondary beams of $^{14,15}$B at 35 MeV/nucleon. The coincident detection of the beam velocity $^{12}$Be…
The MiniBooNE experiment has recently reported an anomalous 4.5$\sigma$ excess of electron-like events consistent with $\nu_e$ appearance from a $\nu_\mu$ beam at short-baseline. Given the lack of corresponding $\nu_\mu$ disappearance…
The anomaly cancellation condition of the Standard Model may be unnatural in theories with extra dimensions as an anomaly of a low-energy 4-dimensional theory can be canceled by an inflow from a bulk. This inflow may give rise to an…
We consider several extensions of the Standard Model (SM) which can explain the anomalies observed by the Atomki collaboration in the decay of excited states of Beryllium via a new boson with a mass around 17 MeV yielding $e^+e^-$ pairs. We…
We calculate reduced B(E2) and B(M1) electromagnetic transition strengths within and between K-bands in support of a recently proposed model for the structure of heavy nuclei. Previously, only spectra and a rough indication of the largest…
In an old paper [ 1] B.H. Flowers discussed calculations for odd A nuclei in the g9/2 shell. He finds when he varies the parameters of a certain interaction that the lowest energy state is always a seniority v=1 state with angular momentum…
Different interpretations of narrow structures at $W\sim 1.68$ and $W\sim 1.72$ GeV observed in several reactions are discussed. It is questionable whether interference phenomena could explain the whole complex of experimental findings.…
A global fit to the recent B->K*mu+mu- data shows indications for a large new-physics contribution to the Wilson coefficient of the semi-leptonic vector operator. In this article we consider a simple Z'-boson model of 3-3-1 type that can…
The reanimation of the investigations dedicated to 0^{+} states energies and E0 transitions between them is provoked by new and more precise experimental techniques that not only made revision of the previous data but also gave a…
We present freshly evaluated B$(E2\uparrow;0^+\rightarrow2^+)$ values across the even-even Sn-isotopes which confirm the presence of an asymmetric behavior as well as a dip in the middle of the full valence space. We explain these features…
We report a search for the rare decays B+ to D+ K0 and B+ to D+ K*0 in an event sample of approximately 465 million BBbar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We find no significant…
Recent measurements of the $E2$ transition rate from the ground state to the first 2$^+$ excited state of the proton dripline nucleus $^{36}$Ca show an unusual pattern when compared to its isotopic neighbor $^{38}$Ca: despite having a…
Energy levels of the four lowest bands in 160,162,164Dy and 168Er, B(E2) transition strengths between the levels, and the B(M1) strength distribution of the ground state, all calculated within the framework of pseudo-SU(3) model, are…
We consider the cross correlations of low-lying energy levels of nuclei belonging to small intervals of the excitation-energy ratio R_{4/2} of the first 4^+ to 2^+ states. The mean value of the cross-correlation coefficients, plotted as a…
The Belle II collaboration has recently observed the rare decay $B^+\to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$, finding an excess with respect to the Standard Model prediction. We explore the possibility that the data entails long-distance interactions induced…
We consider the implication of the recent measurement of the W-boson mass $M_W$ [Science 376, 170 (2022)] for atomic parity violation experiments. We show that the change in $M_W$ shifts the Standard Model prediction for the ${}^{133}$Cs…
This mini review aims to outline the main experimental and theoretical results related with the search for a new light vector boson proposed as a solution of the muon $g-2$ anomaly. Additionally, I consider a model with infinite number of…
The lifetimes of the $2^+_1$, the $2^+_2$ and the $3^-_1$ states of $^{210}$Po have been measured in the $^{208}$Pb($^{12}$C,$^{10}$Be)$^{210}$Po transfer reaction by the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The results for the lifetime of the…
The puzzle of $R(D^{(*)})$ associated with $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ decay is addressed in the two-HIggs-doublet model. An anomalous coupling of $\tau$ to the charged Higgs is introduced to fit the data from BaBar, Belle, and LHCb. It is shown…
