After decades-long attempts to measure the mass shift and understand the origin of hadron mass, it became clear that one has to analyze hadrons with small vacuum width. Also, to identify the effect of chiral symmetry breaking, one has to…
The theoretical motivations, experimental searches/hints, and implications of neutrino mass are surveyed.
This article has two interpenetrating motifs. One is an exposition of some major ideas and techniques behind the use of block matrices, and especially their positivity properties. This is done by focussing on one major problem:…
The determination of magnitudes of basic parameters of the high energy elastic scattering amplitude are examined at small momentum transfers with taking account of the Coulomb-hadron interference effects.
It is shown that, in the presence of correlations in particle emission, the measured HBT radii are related to the correlation range rather than to the size of the interaction volume. Only in the case of weak correlations the standard…
The higher-dimensional generalization of Randall-Sundrum approach with additional positive curvature $n$-dimensional and Ricci-flat $m$-dimensional compuct subspaces is considered in pure gravity theory with metric of space-time and…
We comment on some implications of theories with large compactification radii and TeV-scale quantum gravity. These include the behavior of high-energy gravitational scattering cross sections and consequences for ultra-high-energy cosmic…
New physics and detector concepts for a future pp and heavy ion program at the RHIC-II accelerator facility will be discussed. I will focus on hadronic observables which enable us to gain a better understanding on the hadronization from a…
This essay discusses some geometric effects associated with gravitomagnetic fields and gravitomagnetic charge as well as the gravity theory of the latter. Gravitomagnetic charge is the duality of gravitoelectric charge (mass) and is…
The quark potential model for mesons and its extension for hybrid mesons are used to study the effects of radial excitations on the masses, sizes and radial wave functions at the origin for conventional and hybrid charmonium mesons. These…
In this article we study limits of models that contain a dimensionful parameter such as the mass of the relativistic point-particle. The limits are analogous to the massless limit of the particle and may be thought of as high energy limits.…
Some of the modifications that a thermal medium, of the type generated in heavy ion collision experiments at the LHC, may impose on the properties of hadrons, are reviewed. The focus is on hadrons containing at least one heavy quark (charm…
The neutron charge radius is studied within a light-front model with different spin coupling schemes and wave functions. The cancellation of the contributions from the Foldy term and Dirac form factor to the neutron charge form factor is…
The investigation on the production of particles in slowly varying but extremely intense magnetic field in extended to the case of axions. The motivation is, as for some previously considered cases, the possibility that such kind of…
The changes of hadron properties within strongly interacting matter provide a link between experimental observables and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in the non-pertubative sector. The sensitivity of various observables to in-medium…
This is a brief review of the status of understanding the proton polarizabilities in chiral perturbation theory and of their relevance to the `proton charge radius puzzle'.
A shape of statistical momentum distribution of hadrons produced in high energy particle collisions closely resembles one observed for a broad variety of phenomena in nature. An attempt was made to understand a genesis of this distribution…
Recently, Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali have proposed that there are extra compact dimensions of space, accessible to gravity but not to ordinary matter, which could be macroscopically large. In this letter, we argue that high-energy…
We provide a phenomenological analysis of present experimental searches for local parity violation manifested through the Chiral Magnetic Effect. We introduce and discuss the relevant correlation functions used for the measurements. Our…
The matter density distribution inside a hadron is evaluated using gauge-invariant correlation functions within the quenched and the unquenched theory. Comparison with the charge density distribution suggests that hadron deformation is a…
