The effects of parity violation in the interaction of relativistic polarized protons and deuterons are discussed. Within Glauber's approach, estimates are obtained for P-odd asymmetries in the total and elastic scattering cross sections, in…
Motivated by the recent Super-Kamiokande results on atmospheric neutrinos, we incorporate massive neutrinos, with large angle oscillation between the second and third generations, in a scenario with R-parity violating supersymmetry. We…
Population III stars are believed to be rapidly-rotating sources with a mass range of hundreds to thousand of solar masses. Masses larger than 260 M$_\odot$ are expected to collapse resulting in central rotating Kerr black holes with large…
Magnetic fields can play a major role in the dynamics of outstanding explosions associated to violent events such as GRBs and hypernovae, since they provide a natural mechanism to harness the rotational energy of the central proto-neutron…
$CP$ violating phenomena predicted by the minimal supersymmetric standard model are discussed in a case where the $CP$ violating phases in SUSY sector are not suppressed. The electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron are…
Supernova neutrinos have several exceptional features which can lead to interesting physical consequences. At the production point their wave packets have an extremely small size $\sigma_x \sim 10^{-11}$ cm; hence the energy uncertainty can…
We present full renormalisation group equations for the MSSM with R-parity violation, including all soft supersymmetry breaking terms. The inclusion of dimensionless R-parity violating couplings can generate many possible low energy effects…
Nuclear parity violation is studied with polarized neutrons in the photodisintegration of the deuteron at low energies. A pionless effective field theory with di-baryon fields is used for the investigation. Hadronic weak interactions are…
We review different contributions to the neutrino masses in the context of R-parity violating supersymmetry in a basis independent manner. We comment on the generic spectrum expected in such a scenario comparing different contributions.
We consider neutral-current parity-violating interactions in an atom mediated by the exchange of a neutrino-antineutrino pair. We explicitly account for the nuclear finite size encoded in the nuclear form factor. Based on its general…
Pseudoscalar or pseudovector cosmic fields, that serve as a source of parity ($\mathcal{P}$) violation, are invoked in different models for cold dark matter or in the standard model extension that allows for Lorentz invariance violation. A…
Cosmological observations are promising ways to improve our understanding of neutrino mass properties. The upper bound on the sum of masses is given by the cosmic microwave background and large scale structure. These measurements are all…
New particles coupled to the Standard Model can equilibrate in stellar cores if they are sufficiently heavy and strongly coupled. In this work, we investigate the astrophysical consequences of such a scenario for massive stars by…
The polarization of core-collapse supernovae shows that many if not all of these explosions must be strongly bi-polar. The most obvious way to produce this axial symmetry is by the imposition of a jet as an intrinsic part of the explosion…
R-parity and L violation in the MSSM would be the origin of the neutrino oscillation observed in Super-Kamiokande. A distinctive feature of this framework is that it can be tested in colliders by observing decay products of the destabilized…
Neutrinos are excellent probes of the inner structures of supernovas. However, an understanding of their dynamics remains incomplete, which is crucial for properly interpreting the detector data. The huge matter density inside a core…
In this work, we study the appearance of neutrino asymmetries during the expansion of the Universe. A mathematical model based on differential equations was used to describe the processes of neutrino oscillations considering CP violation…
We investigate parity-violating observables in the np system, including the longitudinal asymmetry and neutron-spin rotation in np elastic scattering, the photon asymmetry in np radiative capture, and the asymmetries in deuteron…
The possible phenomenological consequences of R-parity violating interactions in the framework of low energy supersymmetry breaking are studied. It is pointed out that even very weak R-parity violation would completely overshadow one of the…
Neutrino masses are zero in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. I discuss how they may become nonzero with new interactions which may or may not violate R-parity conservation.
