We study the neutrino anti-neutrino pair synchrotron emission from electrons and protons in a relativistic quantum approach. This process occurs only under a strong magnetic field, and it is considered to be one of effective processes for…
Dark matter may accumulate in neutron stars given its gravitational interaction and abundance. We investigate the influence of strongly-interacting dark matter, described by a QCD-like one-flavor $G_2$ gauge theory, on neutron stars. This…
We studied nucleus-nucleus collision in strong magnetic field based on a transport model. It is found that neutrons and protons can be separated from a nucleus by strong magnetic field and neutron-rich high density nuclear matter and low…
Non-perturbative electron-positron pair creation (Schwinger effect) is studied based on the equal-time Wigner formalism in 1+1 dimensions. An ab initio calculation of the Schwinger effect in the presence of a simple space- and…
The Universe may contain sufficiently small size matter-antimatter domains at temperatures of a few hundred MeV, without violating the success of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We demonstrate that this possibility enhances the keV scale sterile…
We propose a modified Dirac equation for a massive neutrino moving in the presence of the background matter. The effects of the charged and neutral-current interactions with the matter as well as the matter motion and polarization are…
We propose a new method of producing neutrino pair beam that consists of a mixture of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos of all flavors. The idea is based on a coherent neutrino pair emission from excited ions in circular motion. High energy…
The effect of a strong magnetic field on the dominant neutrino emissivity in strange stars is investigated. In ultra strong magnetic field, there exists an enhanced neutrino emission because the charged particles are confined to the lowest…
Brueckner theory is used to investigate the in-medium properties of a $\Lambda$-hyperon in nuclear and neutron matter, based on hyperon-nucleon interactions derived within SU(3) chiral effective field theory (EFT). It is shown that the…
At very high densities, electrons react with protons to form neutron rich matter. This material is central to many fundamental questions in nuclear physics and astrophysics. Moreover, neutron rich matter is being studied with an…
Heavy neutrino-antineutrino oscillations can naturally appear in mechanisms of low scale neutrino mass generation, where pairs of heavy neutrinos have almost degenerate masses. We discuss the case where the heavy neutrinos are sufficiently…
When neutrinos propagate in a background, their gravitational couplings are modified by their weak interactions with the particles in the background. In a medium that contains electrons but no muons or taons, the matter-induced…
Neutron stars contain matter in one of the densest forms found in the Universe. This feature, together with the unprecedented progress in observational astrophysics, makes such stars superb astrophysical laboratories for a broad range of…
Muons can be created in nascent neutron stars (NSs) due to the high electron chemical potentials and the high temperatures. Because of their relatively lower abundance compared to electrons, their role has so far been ignored in numerical…
The possibility that the observed Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays are generated by high energy neutrinos creating "Z-bursts" in resonant interactions with the background neutrinos has been proposed, but there are difficulties in generating…
Assuming that neutrinos have non-vanishing magnetic moments, we discuss the possibility of pair production through annihilation of charged fermions in high-energy collisions. Adopting the Pauli interaction for photon-neutrino coupling, we…
We investigate the Schwinger pair creation process in the context of gravitational models with the back reaction of the electric field included in the geometry. The background is also an exact solution of type II superstring theory, where…
A consistent nonperturbative approach (based on QFT) to neutral fermion creation (due to their magnetic moments) in strong inhomogeneous magnetic fields is considered. It is demonstrated that quantization in terms of neutral particles and…
We describe how thermally produced anti-electron neutrinos ($\bar\nu_e$) from the homologously collapsing core of a supermassive star ($M \ga 5\times10^4 M_\odot$) can lead to significant deuterium enrichment in the ejected envelope of such…
We show that a supersymmetric standard model exhibiting anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking can generate naturally the observed neutrino mass spectrum as well mixings when we include bilinear R-parity violation interactions. In this…
