The theoretical dispersion of higher fold excitations are typically governed by space group symmetry. However, physical factors affecting local structural and electronic environment such as atomic arrangement, orbital overlaps, etc.,…
Anomalous delta-type interactions, of both electric and magnetic nature, are introduced between the overlapping peripheral structures of the nucleons, which may explain the spin-triplet deuteron state and the absence of other…
A detailed comparison is made between the spin-orbit interactions in $\Lambda$ hypernuclei and ordinary nuclei. We argue that there are three major contributions to the spin-orbit interaction: 1) a short-range component involving scalar and…
We study the pi+- spectra obtained in 2,4,6,8 A GeV Au-Au collisions within the thermal model. We find that the main features of the data can be well described after we include the pions from the decay of the Delta-resonance with medium…
We study the low energy pion-hyperon interaction considering effective non-linear chiral invariant Lagrangians including pions, rho mesons, hyperons and corresponding resonances. Then we calculate the S- and P-wave phase-shifts, total cross…
We examine the importance of J^P = 1/2^+, 1/2^- resonances for weak nonleptonic Omega^- decays within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The spin-1/2 resonances are included into an effective theory and tree contributions to the…
The chiral U(1) anomalies associated with a fermion of spin 1/2 interacting with nonabelian vector and axial-vector fields in four- and six-dimensional curved space are given in tensorial form.
The present data on a number of observables in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ processes manifest some tensions with the standard model (SM). Assuming that these anomalies have a new physics origin, we consider the possibility that a $Z'$ boson is…
In light of recent experimental information from the CLEO, BaBar, KTeV, and Belle collaborations, we investigate some consequences of the possibility that a light spin-one particle is responsible for the three Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^- events…
We discuss characteristic experimental signatures related to the formation of domains of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) triggered by the axial anomaly in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We predict that the enhancement of the…
Topologically nontrivial fluctuations control the anomalous interactions for the $\eta$ and and $\eta \prime$ pseudoscalar mesons. We consider the anomalous interactions for mesons with higher spin, the heterochiral nonets with $J^{P C} =…
The issue of the spin gap in the magnetic susceptibility $\chi''(q,\omega)$ in high T_c superconductors is discussed within a scenario of a mixture of localized tightly bound electron pairs in singlet states (bi-polarons) and itinerant…
The recent measurements of the Michel parameters in tau decays enable, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the leptonic sector. In general, in models beyond the Standard Model, these parameters will be altered through changes in the…
We show that the CP-violating dipole form factors of the tau lepton can be of the order of $\alpha/\pi$ in units of the length scale set by the inverse $Z$ boson mass. We propose a few observables which are sensitive to these form factors…
The ground-state (lightest) hybrid nonet with exotic quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ and the nonet of their chiral partners with $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ build a homochiral multiplet involving left- and right-handed currents, which under chiral…
The "pion-decay" bump is a distinct signature of the differential energy spectrum of $\gamma$-rays between 100 MeV and 1 GeV produced in hadronic interactions of accelerated particles (cosmic rays) with the ambient gas. We use the recent…
We discuss medium modifications of the unitarized pion-pion interaction in the nuclear medium. We incorporate both the effects of chiral symmetry restoration and the influence of collective nuclear pionic modes, originating from the p-wave…
We present a new, model-independent method to analyze radiative decays of mesons to a vector, isovector pair of pions of invariant mass square below the first significant pion-pion threshold in the vector channel. It is based on a…
CP-violating asymmetries in the processes e+e- -> t tbar and gamma gamma -> ttbar can provide information about CP-violating couplings of the top quark, whose presence would signal physics beyond the standard model. Work on studies of…
We investigate a potentially large CP violating asymmetry in the neutral Higgs boson decay into a heavy quark pair or a $W^+$--$W^-$ pair. The source of the CP nonconservation is in the Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson which can contain…
