We study CP asymmetries in $B^{\pm}\to h\pi^{\pm}$ decays, where the hadronic states $h=\rho\rho, K\Kbar\pi$, $\pi^+\pi^-K^+K^-$, etc., and $h=\pi^+\pi^-, K^+K^-, 2(\pi^+\pi^-)$, etc., are taken on the resonances $\eta_c$ and $\chi_{c0}$,…
An intense X wave propagating perpendicularly to dc magnetic field is unstable with respect to a parametric decay into an electron Bernstein wave and a lower-hybrid wave. A modified theory of this effect is proposed that extends to the…
We study the ground-state density profile of a spin-orbit coupled $f=2$ spinor condensate in a quasi-one-dimensional trap. The Hamiltonian of the system is invariant under time reversal but not under parity. We identify different parity-…
We suggest that decay properties (branching ratios) of hadronic resonances may become modified in strong external magnetic field. The behavior of $K^{\pm *}\!$, $K^{0*}$ vector mesons as well as $\Lambda^*(1520)$ and $\Xi^{0*}$ baryonic…
The likelihood of a sizable, direct CP-violating asymmetry in the decays $B^\mp\to K^\mp\eta$, is calculated within the framework of the model which originally predicted a sizeable asymmetry in $\pi^\mp\eta(\eta')$. It is shown in a…
Non-conservation of CP symmetry can manisfest itself in non-leptonic hyperon decays as a difference in the decay parameter between the strange-baryon decay and its charge conjugate. By comparing the decay distribution in the $\Lambda$…
Cooper pairs featuring a nonzero center-of-mass crystal momentum ${\boldsymbol Q}=(\pi,\pi, \dots)$ and an off-diagonal long-range order ($\eta$-pairing states) constitute exact eigenstates of a Hubbard model [C. N. Yang, Phys. Rev. Lett.…
In this talk we will summarize the main results from our recent work concerning the possibility that a new metastable phase occurs in some heavy ion collisions (HIC). This phase would be characterized by the breaking of two characteristic…
Parity doubling is observed in hadron states around 1.5 GeV - and the estimated energy density is found to be high. When a large excitation energy is available and the pions decouple from the quarks, the QCD interaction is still not…
We study the properties of $D$ and $\bar{D}$ mesons in hot isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter, arising due to their interactions with the hadrons in the hyperonic medium. The interactions of $D$ and $\bar{D}$ mesons with these light…
We consider neutral pseudoscalar mesons in an entangled or Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state with $C=-1$. Due to quantum entanglement and antisymmetry of this state, the rates of the joint decays of the meson pair display various interesting…
We investigate the properties of quantum electrodynamics $(QED_3)$ in two spatial dimensions at finite temperature and density. The static as well as the dynamical properties of the planar plasma are calculated using the real time formalism…
We investigate the role played by fast quenching on the decay of metastable (or false vacuum) states. Instead of the exponentially-slow decay rate per unit volume, $\Gamma_{\rm HN} \sim \exp[-E_b/k_BT]$ ($E_b$ is the free energy of the…
With the prospect of large numbers of $J/\Psi$ decay events becoming available in the near future, it is interesting to search for symmetry violating effects as probes of new physics and tests of the standard model. $J/\Psi$ decay events…
The hadronic decays eta, eta-prime -> 3 pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are…
We present a study of the decay of metastable states of a scalar field via thermal activation, in the presence of a finite density of fermions. The process we consider is the nucleation of ``{\it droplets}'' of true vacuum inside the false…
We discuss various aspects of parity, CP, and time reversal invariances in QCD. In particular, we focus attention on the previously proposed possibility that these experimentally established symmetries of strong interactions may be broken…
The $\sigma$ resonance was observed as a conspicuous $\pi^+\pi^-$ peak in hadronic decays like $J/\psi\to \pi^+\pi^-\omega$ or $D^+\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$. The phase of the $\sigma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ amplitude, extracted from production data within…
Within the model of partial chemical equilibrium (PCE) we calculate the multiplicity ratios of selected unstable resonances to given stable species. We focus on those ratios that have been measured either in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC or…
