A Faraday rotation experiment can set limits on the magnetic moment of a electrically-neutral, dark-matter particle, and the limits increase in stringency as the candidate-particle mass decreases. Consequently, if we assume the dark-matter…
In this talk I review our present knowledge on neutrino masses and mixing as well as the expectations from near future experiments.
The status of the proton radius puzzle (as of the date of the Confer- ence) is reviewed. The most likely potential theoretical and experimental explanations are discussed. Either the electronic hydrogen experiments were not sufficiently…
We are on the way to obtaining multi-dimensional "pictures" of the proton. The field is bursting with activities, both from the theoretical and experimental side. A brief selection of important achievements of the last years and open…
The experimental situation with regard to measurements of the pion charge form factor is reviewed. Both existing data and planned experiments are discussed.
A survey is presented of the various processes measurable at HERA in which two photons are involved. Their current experimental status and future prospects are discussed.
I discuss the use of light as a collection of real and virtual photons to study lingering questions in particle and nuclear physics.
We review the present status of Higgs physics within the standard model and its extensions. First, we briefly summarize the current experimental exclusion limits from the direct searches with LEP1 and the Tevatron, and assess the discovery…
The conference 'Photon 2009' on the structure and the interactions of the photon included sessions on photon-photon collisions and a future high-energy photon linear collider. This summary of theoretical contributions to the conference…
This paper is the second part of my overview on photon colliders given at the conference ``The photon: its first hundred years and the future'' (PHOTON2005 + PLC2005). The first paper describes the first 25 years of the history and…
Photonic crystals are periodic systems that consist of dielectrics with different refractive indices. They are designed to act on photons in contrast to semiconductor crystals whose periodicity affects the motion of electrons. Here we…
In this lecture, I summarize developments presented at the Lepton Photon 2011 conference and give my perspective on the current situation in high-energy physics.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging has become nowadays an indispensable tool with applications ranging from medicine to material science. However, so far the physical limits of the maximum achievable experimental contrast were unknown. We introduce…
Within the past fifteen years the use of the concept of "relativistic mass" has been on the decline and has been replaced by the concept of "proper mass" (aka "rest mass") - ?simply referred to as "mass" and labeled "m" by its proponents.…
In Very Special Relativity (VSR) a gauge invariant photon mass is allowed. We explore some consequences of keeping this parameter not zero. VSR-Maxwell equations are presented. In addition, we show modifications to the Feynman rules keeping…
In this report we show that vacuum is a nonlinear optical medium and we discuss what are the optical phenomena that should exist in the framework of the standard model of particle physics. We pay special attention to the low energy limit.…
We use atomic spectra to extend pure Coulomb's law tests to larger masses. We interpret these results in terms of constraints for hidden sector photons. With existing data the bounds for hidden photons are not improved. However we find that…
This is a Concluding Talk, not a Summary of the Conference. I will discuss some of the highlights that particularly impressed me (a subjective choice) and make some comments on the status and the prospects of neutrino mass and mixing.
The definition method of the limit for the neutrino mass of rest by using the analysis of the extreme values of the beta-particles distribution under beta-decay is given. The anomaly of distribution at the end of the curve was analyzed. The…
The current electroweak data and the constraints on the Higgs mass are discussed. Within the context of the Standard Model the data prefer a relatively light Higgs mass.
