If the neutral component of weak-scale dark matter is accompanied by a charged excitation separated by a mass gap of less than ~20 MeV, WIMPs can form stable bound states with nuclei. We show that the recent progress in experiments…
By extending the well-known Weinberg's prescriptions on the diagonalization of the mass term of the Lagrangian without increasing the total number of entities, we get the following conclusions: the set of neutral $K$-mesons consists of two…
In contrast to interacting systems, the ground state of free systems has a highly ordered pattern of quantum correlations, as witnessed by Wick's decomposition. Here, we quantify the effect of interactions by measuring the violation they…
