We present the results of the measurements performed in the occasion of the 2001 total solar eclipse, looking for visible photons emitted through a possible radiative decay of solar neutrinos. We establish lower limits for the \nu_2 and…
A method of measuring e+e- annihilation cross sections at low energy sqrt{s}< 5 GeV, using initial-state radiation, is described. Experimental data from the PEP-II B-factory at 10.6 GeV center-of-mass energy, obtained via ISR, are…
In the future several Spallation Source facilities will be available worldwide. Spallation Sources produce large amount of neutrinos from decay-at-rest muons and thus can be well adapted to accommodate state-of-the-art neutrino experiments.…
This paper follows the inaugural talk one of the authors (LT) gave at the opening of the ECT* workshop with the same title, which he co-organized in Trento, Italy, November 5-9, 2018. As such it follows the ideas expressed there, which were…
QED processes at electron-positron colliders are considerd. We present differential cross-sections for large-angle Bhabha scattering, annihilation into muons and photons. Radiative corrections in the first order are taken into account…
In this note we briefly summarize the main future targets and strategies for axion and general low energy particle physics identified in the "3rd axion strategy meeting" held during the AXIONS 2010 workshop. This summary follows a wide…
Electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus an energetic photon from initial state radiation allows the hadronic cross-section to be measured over a wide range of energies. The full next-to-leading order QED corrections for the…
The differential cross-section of the single-photon annihilation of channeled positron on the K-shell electron of one of the crystal atoms is calculated and angular distribution of emitted photons is investigated. It is shown that…

In association with a large solar flare on November 7, 2004, the solar neutron detectors located at Mt. Chacaltaya (5,250m) in Bolivia and Mt. Sierra Negra (4,600m) in Mexico recorded very interesting events. In order to explain these…
We study the neutrino pairs annihilation into electron-positron pairs ($\nu+{\bar \nu}\to e^- + e^+$) near the surface of a neutron star. The analysis is performed in the framework of extended theories of gravity. The latter induce a…
Studies based on imaging the annihilation of the electron (e$^{-}$) and its antiparticle positron (e$^{+}$) open up several interesting applications in nuclear medicine and fundamental research. The annihilation process involves both the…
Systematics have been created for neutron spectra from the 7Li(p,n) reaction at 0 deg in the 50-200 MeV proton energy region. The available experimental data in the continuum part of the spectra show satisfactory overall agreement with a…
Sensitivity of the magnetised Iron CALorimeter (ICAL) detector at the proposed India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) to invisible decay of the mass eigenstate $\nu_3$ using atmospheric neutrinos is explored. A full three-generation…
Historical Type Ia supernovae are a leading candidate for the source of positrons observed through their diffuse annihilation emission in the Galaxy. However, search for annihilation emission from individual Type Ia supernovae has not been…
