The branching ratio for the decay tau->e nue nutau has been measured using Z0 decay data collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP. In total 33073 tau->e nue nutau candidates were identified from a sample of 186197 selected tau decays, giving…
A summary is given of the current status of measurements of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ performed at LEP. These include measurements from inclusive observables as well as from event shape variables. Recent results based on power…
We present a study of the galaxy Lyman-alpha luminosity function (LF) using a sample of 17 lensing clusters observed by the MUSE/VLT. Magnification from strong gravitational lensing by clusters of galaxies and MUSE apabilities allow us to…
A non-perturbative expansion method which gives a well-defined analytic continuation of the running coupling constant from the spacelike to the timelike region is applied to the inclusive semileptonic decay of the $\tau$--lepton. The method…
An exactly-solvable model for the decay of a metastable state coupled to a semi-infinite tight-binding lattice, showing large deviations from exponential decay in the strong coupling regime, is presented. An optical realization of the…
Calculations of deep inelastic processes (DIS) to next-to-next to leading order are discussed. Fitting $ep$ experiment in the range $2.5\leq Q^2\leq 230 GeV^2$, we find the coupling $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)=0.1163\pm0.0023$. We also get the gluon…
The fact that repeated projective measurements can slow down (the Zeno effect) or speed up (the anti-Zeno effect) quantum evolution is well-known. However, to date, studies of these effects focus on quantum systems that are weakly…

Strong and ultra-strong light-matter coupling are remarkable phenomena of quantum electrodynamics occurring when the interaction between a matter excitation and the electromagnetic field cannot be described by usual perturbation theory.…
The three-gluon glueball states are studied with the generalization of a semirelativistic potential model giving good results for two-gluon glueballs. The Hamiltonian depends only on 3 parameters fixed on two-gluon glueball spectra: the…
