From the subsubleading chiral three-nucleon force [intermediate-range contributions, published in Phys. Rev. C\,87, 054007 (2013)] a density-dependent NN-interaction $V_\text{med}$ is derived in isospin-symmetric nuclear matter. Following…
We discuss the consequences of the approximate conservation of the vector and axial currents for the hadronic matrix elements appearing in beta decay if non-standard interactions are present. In particular the isovector (pseudo)scalar…
In the type-I seesaw mechanism, both the light Majorana neutrinos (\nu_1, \nu_2, \nu_3) and the heavy Majorana neutrinos (N_1, ..., N_n) can mediate the neutrinoless double-beta (0\nu\beta\beta) decay. We point out that the contribution of…
We consider trimaximal lepton mixing, defined by |U_{alpha 2}|^2 = 1/3 for all alpha = e, mu, tau. This corresponds to a two-parameter lepton mixing matrix U. We present a model for the lepton sector in which trimaximal mixing is enforced…
Neutrinoless double beta decay allows to constrain lepton number violating extensions of the standard model. If neutrinos are Majorana particles, the mass mechanism will always contribute to the decay rate, however, it is not a priori…
We study the phenomenon of the locking of the order parameter (or synchronization) in spin glasses at low temperatures. When two systems with independent disorders are coupled, their overlaps become similar. A crucial question is how this…

The in-medium neutron-proton, proton-proton (neutron-neutron) elastic scattering cross sections ($\sigma_{np}^{*}$, $\sigma_{pp(nn)}^{*}$) are studied based on the effective Lagrangian of density dependent relativistic hadron theory in…
Nucleon decays put extremely stringent bounds on baryon-number-violating interactions. However, in case the corresponding operators involve only $\tau$ leptons, the direct two-body decays, e.g., $p\to\pi^0 \tau^+$, are kinematically not…
In this work we present the results of our numerical analysis of the effect of lepton asymmetries L on neutrino oscillations and consequently on helium production in a model of cosmological nucleosynthesis with active-sterile neutrino…
The lepton number and flavor violations are important possible ingredients of the lepton physics. The neutrinoless double beta decay and the transition of the muonium into antimuonuim are related to those violations. The former can give us…
Based on an isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model we studied the influence of a medium correction of an isospin dependent nucleon nucleon cross section on the fragmentation at the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. We…
The neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the few phenomena, belonging to the non-standard physics, which is extensively being sought for in experiments. In the present paper the link between the half-life of the neutrinoless double beta…
We outline a general strategy for measuring spins, couplings and mixing angles in the case of a heavy partner decay chain terminating in an invisible particle. We consider the common example of a new scalar or fermion D decaying…
We build the first 3-3-1 model based on the $\Delta (27)$ discrete group symmetry, consistent with fermion masses and mixings. In the model under consideration, the neutrino masses are generated from a combination of type-I and type-II…
A sensitive search for the rare decays \Omega^- \to \Lambda \pi^- and \Xi^0 \to p \pi^- has been performed using data from the 1997 run of the HyperCP (Fermilab E871) experiment. Limits on other such processes do not exclude the possibility…

I review the current status of understanding the mechanism of the nonmesonic weak decays (NMWD) of hypernuclei. Long standing problem on the Gamma_n/Gamma_p ratio has been solved by considering short-range weak interactions properly. This…
Considering neutrinos as time-like leptons one may estimate the three-body decay probability of muon neutrinos in long base-line accelerator experiments. In the extreme assumption of time-space symmetry the absolute value of the…
