Cosmological scenarios with a non-standard equation of state can involve ultrastiff fluids, understood as primordial fluids for which $p/\rho> 1$. Their energy densities can dominate the Universe energy budget at early times, in the…
We have examined the effects of a bound dineutron, n2, upon big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) as a function of its binding energy B_n2. We find a weakly bound dineutron has little impact but as B_n2 increases its presence begins to alter the…
Heavy neutrino potential for neutrinoless double beta decay is studied with focusing on its statistical property. The existence condition for heavy neutrinos is also presented. In particular sterile neutrinos are possible candidate for…
Precise, accurate neutrino flux predictions for neutrino beam experiments are crucial for physics results. Flux predictions for the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab were first published in 2009 by the MiniBooNE collaboration. It is no…
In the past decade, more and more charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike states have been reported in experiments, which have led us to extensive discussions on the underlying structure of these states. In this review paper, we briefly…
I review briefly the recent status of research on neutrino oscillations, such as three and four flavor analysis of atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos, and prospects of present and future long baseline experiments.
This paper briefly reviews recent developments in the field of geo-neutrinos. It describes current and future detection projects, discusses modeling projects, suggests an observational program, and visits geo-reactor hypotheses.
New Physics can show up in various well-known processes already studied in the Standard Model, in particular by modifying decay rates to some extent. In this work, I examine leptonic decays of $\Upsilon$ vector resonances of bottomonium…
We explore possible signatures for heavy neutrinos and neutral gauge boson, Z', in TeV scale B-L extension of the Standard Model (BLSM) with inverse seesaw mechanisms at the Large Hadron Collider. We show that due to new decay channels of…
In this talk I will present the work that we did in \cite{1}\cite{2}\cite{3}\cite{4}\cite{5} related to observed lepton universality violation by Babar, Belle and LHCb in R($D^{(*)}$) and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ as well as the reported deviation in…
We discuss the current status and future prospects of heavy neutrino searches at the energy frontier, which might play an important role in vindicating the simplest seesaw paradigm as the new physics responsible for neutrino mass…
We discuss whether massive neutrinos (either active or sterile) can reconcile some of the tensions within cosmological data that have been brought into focus by the recently released {\it Planck} data. We point out that a discrepancy is…
The possibility that the so-called "lithium problem", i.e. the disagreement between the theoretical abundance predicted for primordial $^7$Li assuming standard nucleosynthesis and the value inferred from astrophysical measurements, can be…
These lectures review the progress made in our present understanding of $B$ decays. The emphasis here is on applications of QCD to $B$ decays and the attendant perturbative and non-perturbative uncertainties, which limit present theoretical…
The current status of BESII is reported. Some published results based on the data collected by BESI and some new preliminary results based on the BESII data are reviewed in this paper.
The current status of neutrino oscillation searches with reactors and accelerators is reviewed. An outlook, especially on future long baseline neutrino oscillation projects, is given.
This article will summarise the status of current and future long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.
Many topics are discussed in b physics including lifetimes, decay mechanisms, determinations of the CKM matrix elements |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|, facilities for b quark studies, neutral $B$ meson mixing, rare b decays, hadronic decays and CP…
We present a systematic evaluation of the shape of the neutrino energy spectrum produced by beta-decay of $^8$B. We place special emphasis on determining the range of uncertainties permitted by existing laboratory data and theoretical…
Equilibrium constants for Hydrogen and Helium isotopes as a function of density and temperature are measured in the framework of the study made by Qin et al. [Qin L et al 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 172701]. We review and comment on all…
