Exact diagonalization of finite spin-1/2 chains with periodic boundary conditions is applied to the ground state (gs) of chains with ferromagnetic (F) exchange $J_1 < 0$between first neighbors, antiferromagnetic (AF) exchange $J_2 = \alpha…
The recently postulated existence of a baryon antidecuplet [1] can be reproduced in strong coupling theory in which a bare baryon spin 1/2 octet interacts with an octet of pseudoscalar mesons. When a suitable mixture of F- and D-type Yukawa…
We discuss the implications of a possible quasinuclear DK bound state at 2.32 GeV. Evidence for such a state was recently reported in D_s^+pi^o by the BaBar Collaboration. We first note that a conventional quark model c-sbar assignment is…
All available data indicate a surplus of baryon states over meson states for energies greater than about 1.5 GeV. Since hadron-scale string theory suggests that their numbers should become equal with increasing energy, it has recently been…
We show that two nonets and a glueball provide a consistent description of data on scalar mesons below 1.7 GeV. Above 1 GeV the states form a conventional (q bar q) nonet mixed with the glueball of lattice QCD. Below 1 GeV the states also…
There are numerous examples of approximately degenerate states of opposite parity in molecular physics. Theory indicates that these doubles can occur in molecules that are reflection-asymmetric. Such parity doubles occur in nuclear physics…
Some new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, like Supersymmetry, Extra-dimensions etc., and their effect on the nature of different standard model phenomena are explored in this thesis. We discuss the power law scaling of…
The Real Higgs Triplet model, known as the $\Delta$SM, is a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) obtained by adding a hypercharge 0 triplet ($\Delta$). This simple model is motivated by the multi-lepton anomalies and excesses in…
We suggest that for QCD in the limit of a large number of colors, N, the axial U(1) symmetry of massless quarks is effectively restored at the deconfining=chiral phase transition. If the deconfining transition is of second order, then the…
A nearest-neighbor analysis of light flavor baryon mass spectra reveals striking degeneracy patterns- narrow mass bands populated by series of parity twins of steadily increasing spins. Each series terminates by an unpaired resonance of the…
There are numerous examples of very nearly degenerate states of opposite parity in molecular physics. The ammonia maser is based on one such double. Theory shows that these parity doubles can occur if the nuclear shape in the molecule is…
Phenomenology of uncolored iquarks - hypothetical fermions charged under a new confining unbroken non-abelian gauge group as well as the standard electroweak gauge group - is investigated for the iquark mass in the range near and above 100…
Recently we proposed a TeV-scale Supersymmetric Standard Model in which the gauge coupling unification is as precise (at one loop) as in the MSSM, and occurs in the TeV range. One of the key ingredients of this model is the presence of new…
We examine the possibility that the physical spectrum of a vector-like gauge field theory exhibits an enhanced global symmetry near a chiral phase transition. A transition from the Goldstone phase to the symmetric phase is expected as the…
The multiple point principle, according to which several vacuum states with the same energy density exist, is put forward as a fine-tuning mechanism predicting the ratio between the fundamental and electroweak scales in the Standard Model…
In the context of Twin Higgs models, we study a simple mechanism that simultaneously generates asymmetries in the dark and visible sector through the out-of-equilibrium decay of a TeV scale particle charged under a combination of baryon and…
The 125 GeV resonance discovered at the LHC could be a heavy quarkonium pseudoscalar meson. The diagonalization of the mass matrix of the isoscalar quarkonium states $|\zeta>$ and $|\zeta^{0'}>$ produces the states identified with the…
We study multi-hadron systems with a single heavy quark (charm or bottom) in the limit of heavy quark mass. The spin degeneracy of the states with quantum numbers $(j+1/2)^{P}$ and $(j-1/2)^{P}$ for $j \neq 0$, known in a normal hadron, can…
The effective quark models with quasilocal interaction are used for description of two composite Higgs doublets, in strong coupling (tricritical) regime below the compositeness scale \Lambda_{C}. The low energy effective action of Two-Higgs…
Starting with the hypothesis that quark and lepton mixings are identical at or near the GUT scale, we show that the large solar and atmospheric neutrino mixing angles together with the small reactor angle $U_{e3}$ can be understood purely…
