An introduction to the physics of heavy fermion compounds is presented, attempting to highlight the conceptual developments and emphasize the mysteries and open questions that persist in this active field of research.
We generalize the usual octet, decuplet and exotic antidecuplet and higher baryon multiplets to any number of colours Nc. We show that the multiplets fall into a sequence of bands with O(1/Nc) splittings inside the band and O(1)splittings…
The anomaly for the fermion number current is calculated on the lattice in a simple prototype model with an even number of fermion doublets.
A new internal description of fundamental fermions (quarks and leptons), based on a matrix-generalization (F) of the scalar fermion-number f, predicts that only three families of quarks and leptons, and their associated neutrinos (nu_e,…
The High Landau level filling fractions 5/2, 7/3 and 8/3 are interpreted by using the angular momentum model. It is found that for the odd number of flux quanta, the quasiparticles called the ``composite fermions'' are fermions but for even…
The lattice fermion determinants, in a given background gauge field, are evaluated for two different kinds of random lattices and compared to those of naive and wilson fermions in the continuum limit. While the fermion doubling is confirmed…
I review recent searches for physics beyond the standard model from the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, covering searches for fourth generation quarks, exotic resonances, universal extra dimensions, and dark matter…
A new formulation for fermions on the lattice based on a discretization of a second order formalism is proposed. A comparison with the first order formalism in connection with the $U(1)$ anomaly and the doubling problem is presented. The…
Odd-even staggering of binding energies is studied in finite fermion systems with pairing correlations. We discuss contributions of the pairing and mean-field to the staggering, and we construct the binding-energy filters which measure the…
We consider a class of models predicting new heavy neutral fermionic states, whose mixing with the light neutrinos can be naturally significant and produce observable effects below the threshold for their production. We update the indirect…
We present the results of a mixed action approach, employing dynamical twisted mass fermions in the sea sector and overlap valence fermions, with the aim of testing the continuum limit scaling behaviour of physical quantities, taking the…
A model of hybridized bosons and fermions is studied beyond the mean field approximation. The divergent boson self-energy at zero temperature makes the Cooper pairing of fermions impossible.The frequency and momentum dependence of the self-…
The production and decay of exotic leptons are discussed in the context of the vector singlet, vector doublet and fer\-mion mirror-fer\-mion models, at c.m. energies $\sqrt{s}=190GeV$ (LEP II) and $\sqrt{s}=500GeV$ (NLC). The model…
The adoption of two distinct boundary conditions for two fermions species on a finite lattice allows to deal with arbitrary relative momentum between the two particle species, in spite of the momentum quantization rule due to a limited…
We conducted a search for an exotic spin- and velocity-dependent interaction for polarized electrons with an experimental approach based on a high-sensitivity spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetometer, which serves as both a source…
CKM mixing between third family quarks and a possible fourth family is constrained by global fits to the precision electroweak data. The dominant constraint is from nondecoupling oblique corrections rather than the Zbb vertex correction…
We investigate a two-species Fermi gas with a large mass ratio interacting by an interspecies short-range interaction. Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we determine the interaction energy of two heavy fermions immersed in the Fermi…
Spin excitations from a partially populated composite fermion level are studied above and below $\nu=1/3$. In the range $2/7<\nu<2/5$ the experiments uncover significant departures from the non-interacting composite fermion picture that…
We consider a small extension of the standard model by adding two Majorana fermions; those are adjoint representations of the SU(2)_L and SU(3)_c gauge groups of the standard model. In this extension, the gauge coupling unification at an…
The 1999 precision electroweak data from LEP and SLC persist in showing some slight discrepancies from the assumed standard model, mostly regarding $b$ and $c$ quarks. We show how their mixing with exotic heavy quarks could result in a more…
