Recent theoretical studies of the e+ e- --> K + K- gamma process are described. Three main reaction mechanisms are considered: the initial state radiation, the final state radiation and the strong interaction between the outgoing K+ K-…
We give a model-independent discussion of fermion masses in four-dimensional heterotic superstring theories. We discuss the tree level contributions and quantum corrections, including one-loop threshold effects and masses generated as a…
A model based on a nonrelativistic potential supplemented by spin dependent terms of the Breit-Fermi type is described. This model reproduces the known masses of the $\bar{b}b$ quarkonia within 1MeV and the known masses of the $\bar{c}c$…
Composite fermions (CFs), exotic quasi-particles formed by pairing an electron and an even number of magnetic flux quanta emerge at high magnetic fields in an interacting electron system, and can explain phenomena such as the fractional…
We find exact differential mean numbers of fermions and bosons created from the vacuum due to a composite electric field of special configuration. This configuration imitates a finite switching-on and -off regime and consists of fields that…
We investigate excited state contaminations in a direct computation of the nucleon $\sigma$-terms. This is an important source of systematic effects that needs to be controlled besides the light quark mass dependence and lattice artefacts.…
The complete 2-loop quantum electrodynamic corrections to the muon lifetime are calculated in the Fermi theory. The exact result for the effects of virtual and real photons, virtual electrons, muons as well as e+e- pair creation is Delta…
We point out that applying the photon energy cut significantly modifies the moments of energy spectrum in B->X_s+gamma decays, with a certain class of effects not accounted for in the mostly used OPE expressions. This leads to a systematic…
Intermediate mass fragment (IMF) multiplicity has been investigated for Au+Au reactions at incident energies of 100, 250 and 400 MeV/A. From the analysis of the impact-parameter-dependence of the IMF multiplicity using our QMD plus…

The frequency-dependent time delays in fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be used to constrain the photon mass, if the FRB redshifts are known, but the similarity between the frequency dependences of dispersion due to plasma effects and a photon…
In this work we present an extended version of the Friedrichs Model, which includes fermion-boson couplings. The set of fermion bound states is coupled to a boson field with discrete and continuous components. As a result of the coupling…
After 10 years of steadily increasing the experimental precision at LEP/SLC, there is a strong demand on an update of existing programs for fermion pair production. We present a rederivation of the O(alpha) Bremsstrahlung corrections to…
For the bound-muon decay process, the study of atomic effects on the electron spectrum near its endpoint is performed within the framework of the Fermi effective theory. The analysis takes into account for corrections due to…
We review the theoretical understanding of the branching ratio and photon-energy spectrum in B -> Xs gamma decays at next-to-leading order in QCD, including consistently the effects of Fermi motion. For the Standard Model, we obtain B(B ->…

We discuss the phase structure of a higher derivative four-fermion model in four dimensions in curved spacetime in frames of the $\frac{1}{N_c}$-expansion. First, we evaluate in our model the effective potential of two composite scalars in…

We study the bounds that can be obtained on four-fermion contact terms from the experimental data for (e+ p -> \bar{nu} X) obtained at HERA and (p \bar{p} -> e \nu), measured at TEVATRON. We compare these bounds with the ones available in…
We have investigated the invariant mass spectrum of dimuons collected by the CDF experiment during the 1992-1995 run of the Fermilab Tevatron collider to improve the limit on the existence of narrow resonances set by the experiments at the…
