A quantum phase transition between the symmetric (polar) phase and the phase with broken symmetry can be induced in a ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate in space (rather than in time). We consider such a phase transition and show…
We calculate the collisional energy loss of a muon of high energy $E$ in a hot QED plasma beyond logarithmic accuracy, i.e., we determine the constant terms of order O(1) in $-dE/dx \propto \ln{E}+ O(1)$. Considering first the $t$-channel…

A muon collider could produce the heavier Standard Model particles with a boost, for example in resonant processes such as $\mu^-\mu^+\to h$ or $\mu^-\mu^+\to Z$. We propose machine configurations that produce the boost (asymmetric beam…
Electroweak second order shifts of muonium ($\mu^+e^-$ bound state) energy levels are calculated for the first time. Calculation starts from on-shell one-loop elastic $\mu^+ e^-$ scattering amplitudes in the center of mass frame, proceed to…

Neutrinos produced during the collapse of a massive star are trapped in a nuclear medium (the proto-neutron star). Typically, neutrino energies (10-100 MeV) are of the order of nuclear giant resonances energies. Hence, neutrino propagation…

Muons decay in vacuum mainly via the leptonic channel to an electron, a muon neutrino and an electron antineutrino. Previous investigations have concluded that muon decay can only be significantly altered in a strong electromagnetic field…
