Results are presented from a search for a narrow, spin-2 resonance decaying into a pair of Z bosons, with one Z-boson decaying into leptons (e+e- or mu+mu-) and the other into jets. An example of such a resonance is the Kaluza--Klein…
This paper looks at a potentially unique measurable due to photon-axion coupling in an external magnetic field. Simulations indicate that probing couplings significantly lower than seen by previous cavity experiments is possible.
We attempt to find the impact of a modified Tolman Oppenheimer Volkoff (TOV) system of equations on the luminosities of direct photons, neutrinos and axions for a particular axion mass in the presence of a magnetic field. We employ two…
Parametric excitation of axions by two beating electromagnetic fields is considered here. This can be used as a new concept for active experiments using the existing ultra-intense laser systems. Comparison is made of this active…

We calculate the effect of magnetic fields on the magnetic dipole moment of leptons up to the quadratic order in the magnetic field, including the QCD contributions. Since the leading contribution, which is linear in the magnetic field,…
We discuss bounds to strong gravity arising from annihilation of electron and positrons and the corresponding enhancement of the cross section for the production of massive particles. Two complementary examples are discussed, the case of…
The $He^+$ ion on a plane subject to a constant magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane is considered taking into account the finite nuclear mass. Factorization of eigenfunctions permits to reduce the four-dimensional problem to…
It is simply anticipated that in a strong magnetic configuration, the Landau quantization ceases the neutral rho meson to decay to the charged pion pair, so the neutral rho meson will be long-lived. To closely access this naive observation,…
Process of electron-positron annihilation into $\eta(\eta')2\pi$ is described within the extended NJL model in the energy range up to about 2 GeV. Contributions of intermediate vector mesons $\rho(770)$ and $\rho(1450)$ are taken into…
We considered recently as a new axion production mechanism the process $e^- \to e^- +a$ in a strong magnetic field $B$. Requiring that for a strongly magnetized neutron star the axion luminosity is smaller than the neutrino luminosity we…
Standard axion electrodynamics has two closely related features. First, the coupling of a massless axion field to photons is quantized, in units proportional to the electric gauge coupling squared. Second, the equations of motion tell us…
The decay K- -> pi0 e- nu has been studied using in-flight decays detected with "ISTRA+" setup operating at the 25 GeV negative secondary beam of the U-70 PS. About 130K events were used for the analysis. The lambda_+ parameter of the…
We search for rare decays of $D$ mesons to hadrons accompany with an electron-positron pair (h(h')$e^+e^-$), using an $e^+e^-$ collision sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector…
Bose-Einstein condensation of antikaons in cold and dense beta-equilibrated matter under the influence of strong magnetic fields is studied within a relativistic mean field model. For magnetic fields $> 5 \times 10^{18}$G, the phase spaces…
In theories with the large extra dimensions beyond the standard 4-dimensional spacetime, axions could propagate in such extra dimensions, and acquire Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations. These KK axions are produced in the Sun and could solve…
We show that, contrary to assertions in the literature, the main contribution to the axion-photon coupling need not be quantized in the units proportional to $e^2$. In particular, we discuss a loophole in the argument for this quantization…
We study the electron-positron pair production process in strong background electric fields with spatio-temporal inhomogeneity in the time-dependent Basis Light-front Quantization approach. We calculate the observables such as the invariant…

Theoretical axion models state that axions are very weakly interacting particles. In order to experimentally detect them, the use of colorful and inspired techniques becomes mandatory. There is a wide variety of experimental approaches that…
