Soft interactions are not easily disentangled from hard ones. In an operational definition of soft and hard processes one finds that at presently analyzed scales there is an interplay of soft and hard processes. As the scale increases, so…
This paper presents reflections on the validity of a series of mathematical methods and technical assumptions that are encrusted in macrophysics (related to gravitational interaction), that seem to have little or no physical significance.…
A number of approaches to fundamental physics can lead to the violation of Lorentz and CPT symmetry. This talk discusses the low-energy phenomenology associated with such effects and reviews various sample experiments within this context.
We use the constraints arising from primordial nucleosynthesis to bound the strength $F$ of non-standard neutrino-neutrino interactions, when the right-handed neutrinos participate in the interaction. We find $F < 3 \times 10^{-3}\ G_F$,…
The standard model weak interactions can be described by four-fermion V-A operators at low energies. New physics at the TeV scale can, however, generate the other Lorentz structures. In this talk, we review the constraints on such…

We present a unifying treatment of dark energy and modified gravity that allows distinct conformal-disformal couplings of matter species to the gravitational sector. In this very general approach, we derive the conditions to avoid ghost and…

Low energy experiments with photons can provide deep insights into fundamental physics. In this note we concentrate on minicharged particles. We discuss how they can arise in extensions of the standard model and how we can search for them…
We point out a few remarkable properties of the $\gamma\gamma\to\gamma\gamma$ process at high energy. They should allow to search for effects of new particles and interactions. We give illustrations with threshold effects due to pairs of…
A model with the four-fermion interaction is derived using the self-consistent field method in the low-energy limit of quantum chromodynamics. The resulting Lagrangian contains not only the trivial and chiral terms but also the interaction…
Unparticles as suggested recently by Georgi have surprising phenomenological implications, distinctive from any other new physics that we know of. But they must interact very feebly with ordinary matter to have avoided detection thus far.…
The mutual interaction of a relativistic particle and gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) is studied both classically and quantum theoretically.
In this article we study limits of models that contain a dimensionful parameter such as the mass of the relativistic point-particle. The limits are analogous to the massless limit of the particle and may be thought of as high energy limits.…
A general decomposition of the amplitudes for the $2\to 2$ processes $\gamma\nu\to\gamma\nu$ and $\gamma\gamma\to\nu\bar{\nu}$ is obtained using gauge invariance and Bose symmetry. The restrictions implied by this decomposition are…
