The interpretation of Galactic synchrotron observations is complicated by the degeneracy between the strength of the magnetic field perpendicular to the line of sight (LOS), $B_\perp$, and the cosmic-ray electron (CRe) spectrum. Depending…
We investigate the appearance of Chern-Simons terms in electrodynamics at the surface/interface of materials. The requirement of locality, gauge invariance and renormalizability in this model is imposed. Scattering and reflection of…
Constraints on the EoS for symmetric matter (equal neutron and proton numbers) at supra-saturation densities have been extracted from energetic collisions of heavy ions. Collisions of neutron-deficient and neutron-rich heavy ions now…
The ultimate electric and magnetic energy densities that can be attained by bandlimited electromagnetic pulses in free space are calculated using an ab initio quantized treatment, and the quantum states of electromagnetic fields that…
We reexamine the general synchrotron model for GRBs' prompt emission and determine the regime in the parameter phase space in which it is viable. We characterize a typical GRB pulse in terms of its peak energy, peak flux and duration and…
Microquasars are potential candidates to produce a non-negligible fraction of the observed galactic cosmic rays. The protons accelerated at the jet termination shock interact with the interstellar medium and may produce detectable fluxes of…
Until fairly recently, it was widely accepted that local cosmic ray spectra were largely featureless power laws, containing limited information on their acceleration and transport. This viewpoint is currently being revised in the light of…
We study the equation of state (EoS) of a neutron star (NS) accounting for new advances. In the low energy density, $n\leq 0.1 n_s$, with $n_s$ the saturation density, we use a new pure neutron matter EoS that is regulator independent and…
A family of exact sum rules for the one-polaron spectral function in the low-density limit is derived. An algorithm to calculate energy moments of arbitrary order of the spectral function is presented. Explicit expressions are given for the…
We investigate, both analytically and numerically, the behavior of the electron gas on a sphere in the presence of point-like impurities. We find a criterion when the disorder can be regarded as small one and the main effect is the…
Electromagnetic decays of the scalar mesons are shown to be constrained by chiral symmetry as a consequence of the fact that, in the chiral limit, the two and three-point functions $<SS-PP>$ and $<VVS>$ satisfy super-convergent dispersion…
The emission mechanism of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still a matter of debates. The standard synchrotron energy spectrum of cooling electrons F_E ~ E^{-1/2} is much too soft to account for the majority of the observed spectral slopes.…
The review presents basic elements of the theory of electromagnetic emission by nonthermal particles propagating in stochastic media. In particular, general theory and a few special regimes of Diffusive Synchrotron Radiation (DSR)arising in…
The amplitude ratios of vector-meson production by heavy photons on spinless targets are shown to can be explicitly expressed in terms of the spin-density-matrix elements (SDMEs) only if the lepton beam is longitudinally polarized. Making…
The density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy governs important aspects of very neutron rich systems such as heavy nuclei and their collisions, neutron stars and their mergers. Many analyses of experimental data have generated…
We derive expressions for the total and linearly-polarized synchrotron emissivity of an element of plasma containing relativistic particles and disordered magnetic field which has been sheared or compressed along three independent…
We investigate isospin breaking in low-energy pion-nucleon scattering in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. This work extends the systematic analysis of [1] to the energy range above threshold. Various relations, which identically…
The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies are shaped by nearly every physical property of the system, including the star formation history, metal content, abundance pattern, dust mass, grain size distribution, star-dust geometry,…
The emissivity for the neutrino pair synchrotron radiation in strong magnetic fields has been calculated both analytically and numerically for high densities and moderate temperatures, as can be found in neutron stars. Under these…
To produce the intense, high-quality hadron beams required by future nuclear and high-energy physics experiments, synchrotrons need to overcome a most prominent intensity limitation i.e., space charge. This Letter characterizes the…
