We have studied the general properties of the energy thresholds of stability for a three-particle system with short-range interaction. A wide region of the interaction constants and various ratios of the masses of particles are considered.…
Even if the theoretical definition of an unstable state is straightforward, its experimental identification often depends on the method used in the analysis and extraction of data. A good example is the case of eta mesic nuclei where strong…
We show how the state of an unstable particle can be defined in terms of stable asymptotic states. This general definition is used to discuss and to solve some old problems connected with the short-time and large-time behaviour of the…

We discuss new physics in top-quark interactions, using an effective field theory approach. We consider top-quark decay, single top production, and top-quark pair production. We identify 15 dimension-six operators that contribute to these…
We present a detailed non-perturbative analysis of the time-evolution of a well-known quantum-mechanical system - a particle between potential walls - describing the decay of unstable states. For sufficiently high barriers, corresponding to…
The production of single photons plus missing energy at future $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders can provide a testing ground for non-standard $WW\gamma$ couplings. We show that even with conservative estimates of systematic errors there is still…
The two parameters Weibull function is used to describe the charged particle multiplicity distribution in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at the highest available energy measured by TASSO and ALEPH experiments. The Weibull distribution has wide…

The presence of defects in solids formed by active particles breaks their discrete translational symmetry. As a consequence, many of their properties become space-dependent and different from those characterizing perfectly ordered…
An effective medium theory for resonant and non-resonant metamaterials for flexural waves in thin plates is presented. The theory provides closed-form expressions for the effective parameters of arrangement of inclusions or resonators in…
