Merging neutron stars generate shock waves that disintegrate heavy nuclei into nucleons especially in the outer envelope. It is expected that some of such neutrons having avoided capturing positrons remain as free neutrons even after…
We develop a model for a possible origin of hard very high energy spectra from a distant blazar. In the model, both the primary photons produced in the source and secondary photons produced outside the source contribute to the observed high…

Electron-positron pair production by collision of photons is investigated in view of application to pulsar physics. We compute the absorption rate of individual gamma-ray photons by an arbitrary anisotropic distribution of softer photons,…
In this letter we propose a possible mechanism trying to alleviate the current difficulty in core-collapse supernovae by forming a strange quark star inside the collapsing core. Although the initial longtime cooling behavior of nascent…
We discuss some experimental facets of electron pair emission from surfaces using two different experimental approaches. In the first case the instrument consists of a pair of hemispherical analyzers which are operated with continuous…
We study the formation of runaway stars due to binary-binary (2+2) interactions in young star-forming clusters and/or associations. This is done using a combination of analytic methods and numerical simulations of 2+2 scattering…
We study mass ejection from a binary neutron star merger producing a long-lived massive neutron star remnant with general-relativistic neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations. In addition to outflows generated by shocks and tidal…
Studies on `strange' particle production have always occupied a very important space in the domain of Particle Physics. This was and is so, just because of some conjectures about specially abundant or excess production of `strange'…
The STAR collaboration has observed an excess production of electron-positron pairs which have transverse momenta pperp < 150 MeV/c in peripheral gold-gold and uranium-uranium collisions. ALICE has also reported on an excess of mu mu pairs…
The fraction of positrons and electrons in cosmic rays recently observed on the International Space Station unveiled an unexpected excess of the positrons, undermining the current foundations of cosmic rays sources. We provide a quantum…
A strong laser field and the Coulomb field of a nucleus can produce e^{+}e^{-} pairs. It is shown for the first time that there is a large probability that electrons and positrons created in this process collide after one or several…
We review the main neutrino emission mechanisms in neutron star crusts and cores. Among them are the well-known reactions such as the electron-positron annihilation, plasmon decay, neutrino bremsstrahlung of electrons colliding with atomic…

The possibility of spontaneous photon pair emission from a normal material - metamaterial junction is investigated in a quantum field theory setting. We consider a pair of photons arising from vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic…
A novel, unorthodox picture of the dynamics of heavy ion collisions is developed using the concept of Hagedorn states. A prescription of the bootstrap of Hagedorn states respecting the conserved quantum numbers baryon number B, strangeness…
Electrons released from clusters through strong Xray pulses show broad kinetic-energy spectra, extending from the atomic excess energy down to the threshold, where usually a strong peak appears. These low-energy electrons are normally…
We estimate the energy distribution of positrons produced in the interaction of ultra-relativistic electrons with a high-intensity laser beam. The underlying trident process is factorized on the probabilistic level. That is, we deploy a…
