By introducing a Higgs-Dilaton potential, the 2T model has a trigger for a first order electroweak phase transition, namely for the mass of Dilaton between $300 $ GeV and $550$ GeV. We have also compared the transition strengths in the case…

We determine the sphaleron transition rate using real time lattice simulations of the classical system. An improved definition of the lattice topological charge allows us to obtain a more reliable estimate of the transition rate. For an…
We show that the sphaleron energy which identifies with the (instanton) potential barrier for B-violation is reduced in the presence (background) of an electroweak Z-string. We also show that for large enough Higgs coupling, $\lambda$, the…
We present results for the fermion determinant in an external Yukawa-coupled scalar field, a quantity relevant to instanton and sphaleron transition rates as well as bubble nucleation occuring in the electroweak phase transition when the…
The meson-photon transition form factors $\gamma\gamma^*\to P$ ($P$ stands for $\pi$, $\eta$ and $\eta'$) provide strong constraints on the distribution amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons. In this paper, these transition form factors are…

We recently reported [1,2] measurements of the charge density fluctuations in the strange metal cuprate Bi$_{2.1}$Sr$_{1.9}$Ca$_{1.0}$Cu$_{2.0}$O$_{8+x}$ using both reflection M-EELS and transmission EELS with $\leq$10 meV energy…
We make use of a semiclassical method for calculating the suppression exponent for topology changing transitions in high-energy electroweak collisions. In the Standard Model these processes are accompanied by violation of baryon and lepton…
In a recent paper we showed that the electroweak chiral Lagrangian at leading order is equivalent to the conventional $\kappa$ formalism used by ATLAS and CMS to test Higgs anomalous couplings. Here we apply this fact to fit the latest…
This talk reviews recent lattice results on the high $T$ electroweak phase transition. A remarkably accurate picture emerges: a) the transition is of first order for $m_H \lsim 80$GeV and vanishes for larger $m_H$; b) transition…
We introduce and define the phenomenological parameter $\kappa$, defined by $\Delta a/g = \kappa \, \Delta(q/m)$, to quantify potential linear coupling between electric charge and gravitational acceleration. A synthesis of existing…

Conformal fluctuations of the metric tensor at the Planck scale are considered. They give rise to a lower bound of the proper length. This leads to finite expressions for quantities related to propagators without the need of renormalization…
The energy loss pattern of a low momentum heavy quark in a deconfined quark-gluon plasma can be understood in terms of a Langevin description. In thermal equilibrium, the motion can then be parametrized in terms of a single heavy quark…
