Energy-dependent speeds of light have been considered an observable signature of quantum gravity effects. The two simplest dispersion relationships produce either linear or quadratic corrections, in particle energy, to the photon speed. The…

Motivated by the absence of signals of new physics in both searches for new particles at LHC and for a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter candidate, we consider a scenario where supersymmetry is broken at a scale above…
This work is devoted to the discussion of an idea that gravitational interactions might be residual interactions of strong and electromagnetic interactions. Then, absence of the carriers of the gravitational interactions finds a natural…
Gravitino dark matter, together with thermal leptogenesis, implies an upper bound on the masses of superparticles. In the case of broken R-parity the constraints from primordial nucleosynthesis are naturally satisfied and decaying…
We study low energy galactic neutrinos in the Milky Way under two fundamentally different descriptions of gravity, showing that neutrinos provide a sensitive probe of gravity underlying nature. If gravity is a quantum interaction, its long…
We present low-energy theorems for the calculation of loop amplitudes with external scalar or pseudoscalar Higgs bosons which are light compared to the loop particles. Starting from existing lowest-order versions of these theorems, we show…
Recent theories propose that quantum gravity effects may be observable at LEP energies via gravitons that couple to Standard Model particles and propagate into extra spatial dimensions. The associated production of a graviton and a photon…
We briefly review some of the lower-energy constraints to the perturbative behaviour of the strong coupling $\alpha_s$, with some emphasis on the determination coming from the energy between two static sources calculated on the lattice.
Despite numerous achievements and recent progress, nuclear physics is often (wrongly) considered an old field of research nowadays. However, developments in theoretical frameworks and reliable experimental techniques have made the field…
An extremely light scalar weakly interacting with light neutrinos has interesting consequences in stellar evolution, neutrino oscillations and laboratory neutrino mass measurements. In this paper we construct realistic gauge models for such…
An effective field theory developed for systems interacting through short-range interactions can be applied to systems of cold atoms with a large scattering length and to nucleons at low energies. It is therefore the ideal tool to analyze…
We derive the effective action for processes involving two neutrinos and two photons at energies much below the electron mass. We discuss several applications in which one or both photons are replaced by external fields. In particular,…
The interactions of the neutrini and antineutrini amongst themselves, as well as the interactions of these particles with the electrons and the positrons, are of interest in simulations of the early Universe and in studies of the processes…
In the context of theories where particles can have different limiting velocities, we review the running of particle speeds towards a common limiting velocity at low energy. Motivated by the recent OPERA experimental results, we describe a…
