We study the single-particle spectral properties of electrons coupled to quasicritical charge and spin fluctuations close to a stripe-phase, which is governed by a Quantum Critical Point near optimum doping. We find that spectral weight is…
We consider the scattering of fermions off antifermions with spin 1/2 and 3/2. Starting from helicity partial-wave scattering amplitudes we derive transformations that eliminate all kinematical constraints. Such amplitudes are expected to…
We study the one-loop corrections to Vector Boson Scattering (in particular $W^+W^-$ elastic scattering) within the framework of effective theories. Re-scattering via intermediate electroweak would-be-Goldstone bosons dominate at high…
In the context of electroweak strings, the baryon number anomaly equation may be reinterpreted as a conservation law for baryon number minus helicity. Since the helicity is a sum of the link and twist numbers, linked or twisted loops of…
It is known that the presence of the Fermi sea modifies the scattering of an electron from a point-like impurity. This is due to the Friedel oscillations of the electron density around the impurity. These oscillations create an additional…
We study the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by nonsuperconducting cosmic strings. This idea relies upon electroweak symmetry being restored in a region around the core of the topological defect so that, within this region,…
An empirical fit to electron-nucleus scattering for $A>2$ is made based on world data. It is valid for $0<W<3.2$ GeV and $0.2<Q^2<5$ GeV$^2$, and can be used with caution at lower $Q^2$. The fit is based on previous empirical fits to…
Deviations of the top electroweak couplings from their Standard Model values imply that certain amplitudes for the scattering of third generation fermions and longitudinally polarized vector bosons or Higgses diverge quadratically with…
Diffraction patterns of electrons are believed to resemble those of electromagnetic waves (EMW). I performed a series of experiments invoked to show that the periodicity of peaks in the diffraction diagram of electrons is concerned with the…
We propose a new mechanism to generate baryons. Electroweak strings produced at the electroweak phase transition will introduce anomalous currents through interactions of the strings with the background electromagnetic field and through…
We study scattering of charge and spin excitations in a system of interacting electrons in one dimension. At low densities electrons form a one-dimensional Wigner crystal. To first approximation the charge excitations are the phonons in the…
Theory of electron-acoustic single phonon scattering has been reconsidered. It is assumed that the non-degenerate semiconductor has a spherical parabolic band structure. In the basis of the reconsideration there is a phenomenon of the…

The scattering of Dirac fermions on the sine-Gordon kink is studied both analytically and numerically. To achieve invariance with respect to a discrete symmetry, the sine-Gordon model is treated as a nonlinear $\sigma$-model with a circular…
The effect of perturbative QCD interactions on the high energy scattering of electroweak vector bosons, when the exchanged channel has pion quantum numbers, is considered. The chiral anomaly is shown to appear in the couplings of particular…
