Radiative effects are considered for an electron moving in a medium in the presence of an external electromagnetic field. Anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) of the electron in alpha-order is calculated under these conditions in the form of…
In this article one aspect of the so-called '4/3-problem' is analyzed, namely definitions of the electromagnetic mass of the classical electron. It is shown that if the special relativity definition of the electromagnetic (EM) mass as the…
The light-mass exotics with J^{PC}=1^{-+} observed at BNL and CERN may have a simple explanation as dynamically generated resonances in eta-prime pi rescattering in the final state interaction. This dynamics is mediated by the same…
In this article, I will present the status of our calculation of the difference between the masses of the long- and short-lived neutral K mesons, $\Delta m_K$ predicted by the Standard Model. This calculation is performed on an ensemble of…
We investigate the effect of B+L - violating anomalous generation of massive right-handed neutrinos on their decoupling, when the right-handed neutrino mass is considerably greater than the right-handed gauge boson masses. Considering…
We present branching fraction measurements for the decays B0 -> rho0 K*0, B0 -> f0 K*0, and B0 -> rho- K*+, where K* is an S-wave (K pi)_0* or a K*(892) meson; we also measure B0 -> f0 K_2*(1430)^0. For the K*(892) channels, we report…
The properties of open strange meson $K_1^\pm$ in nuclear matter are estimated in the QCD sum rule approach. We obtain a relation between the in-medium mass and width of $K_1^-$ ($K_1^+$) in nuclear matter, and show that the upper limit of…
We report a new measurement of the ratio $h/m_{\mathrm{Rb}}$ between the Planck constant and the mass of $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atom. A new value of the fine structure constant is deduced, $\alpha^{-1}=137.035\,999\,037\,(91)$ with a relative…
We investigate the possibility that the light-mass exotic mesons with J^PC=1^-+ observed at BNL and CERN may be resonances in the eta-pi and eta'-pi systems associated with the anomalous glue which generates the eta' mass in QCD.
Some selected topics involving photonic and leptonic rare B decays are reviewed. The interest in their measurement for the CKM phenomenology is underlined. They are also potentially interesting in searching for physics beyond the standard…
In this work, we study the $B^+\to K^+ E_{\mathrm{miss}}$, $B^0\to K^{*0} E_{\mathrm{miss}}$, and $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda^0 E_{\mathrm{miss}}$ decays under three different new physics hypotheses: the heavy new particles, the light neutral…
A review of the experimental and theoretical determinations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is given. The anomaly is defined by a=(g-2)/2, where the Land\'e g-factor is the proportionality constant that relates the spin to the…
The status of several precisely measured electroweak parameters is reviewed. Natural relations among them are shown to constrain the Higgs mass, m_H, as well as various ``New Physics'' effects. Indications of an anomalous Zb anti-b coupling…
Although discovered more than sixty years ago, direct measurement of the $K^*(892) \to K\pi$ branching fractions is a formidable challenge that has not been attempted. Typically they are assumed to obey the isospin limit in hundreds of…
Recently, the MINOS collaboration reported an anomaly that the mass-squared difference and mixing angle of $\bar{\nu}_\mu$ $\leftrightarrow$ $\bar{\nu}_\tau$ are both different from that of $\nu_\mu$ $\leftrightarrow$ $\nu_\tau$. In this…
The muon magnetic anomaly may contain contributions from physics beyond the standard model. At the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) a precision experiment aims for a measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly $a_{\mu}$ to 0.35 ppm, where…
Atomic masses of the neutron-rich isotopes $^{121-128}$Cd, $^{129,131}$In, $^{130-135}$Sn, $^{131-136}$Sb, and $^{132-140}$Te have been measured with high precision (10 ppb) using the Penning trap mass spectrometer JYFLTRAP. Among these,…
A recently reported anomaly in the time structure of signals in the KARMEN neutrino detector suggests the decay of a new particle $x$, produced in $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ x$ with mass $m_x=33.9$ MeV. We discuss the constraints and difficulties in…
