Recent results by space borne experiments took cosmic ray data to a precision level. These new results are able to challenge the conventional scenario for cosmic ray acceleration and propagation in the Milky Way. In these contributions,…
Since the launch of LHC experiments it has been discovered that the high multiplicity trigger in pp, pA collisions finds events behaving differently from the typical (minimally biased) ones. In central pPb case it has been proven that those…
We study observables sensitive to tensor structure of interactions of a hypothetical heavy spin-0 particle. It is assumed that the interactions of this particle are primary with photons; interactions with vector bosons $gg$, $WW$, $ZZ$, and…
We discuss the rationale for the energy cuts used in the previous study of directional correlation of the five highest energy cosmic ray events with compact, radio quasars. We check the consistency of the next three most energetic events…
We consider the possibility that dark energy and baryons might scatter off each other. The type of interaction we consider leads to a pure momentum exchange, and does not affect the background evolution of the expansion history. We…
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays and neutrinos probe energies far above the weak scale. Their usefulness might appear to be limited by astrophysical uncertainties; however, by simultaneously considering up- and down-going events, one may…
Proxima Centauri has become the subject of intense study since the radial-velocity discovery by Anglada-Escud\'e et al. 2016 of a planet orbiting this nearby M-dwarf every ~ 11.2 days. If Proxima Centauri b transits its host star,…
Recent detection of the neutrino events IceCube-170922A, 13 muon-neutrino events observed in 2014-2015 and IceCube-141209A by IceCube observatory from the Blazars, namely TXS 0506+056, PKS 0502+049/TXS 0506+056 and GB6 J1040+0617…
We derive criteria for whether two cosmological events can have a shared causal past or a shared causal future, assuming a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe with best-fit \Lambda CDM cosmological parameters from the Planck…
Many experiments have been carried out to study the beta-decay rates of a variety of nuclides, and many - but not all - of these experiments yield evidence of variability of these rates. While there is as yet no accepted theory to explain…
Searches for anisotropies due to Earth's motion relative to a preferred frame -- modern versions of the Michelson-Morley experiment -- provide precise verifications of special relativity. We describe other tests, independent of this motion,…
The Centaurs are recent escapees from the Kuiper belt that are destined either to meet fiery oblivion in the hot inner regions of the Solar system or to be ejected to the interstellar medium by gravitational scattering from the giant…
The unexpected finding of a ring system around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo opened a new window for dynamical studies and posed many questions about the formation and evolutionary mechanisms of Centaurs as well as the relationship to…
Hadrons production is different in $p\bar{p}$ and $pp$ interactions at high energies. There is process of hadrons production from three quark strings in $p\bar{p}$ which is absent in $pp$. This process grows as $(\ln\sqrt{s})^2$ and becomes…
This article reviews the properties and limitations associated with the existence of particle, visual, and event horizons in cosmology in general and in inflationary universes in particular, carefully distinguishing them from `Hubble…
We consider the interplay of the pentaquark states and strange tetraquark states in the decay $\Lambda^0_b\to K^-J/\psi p$. Possible existence of ($cs\bar c\bar u$)-states is taken up and their manifestation in the $K^-J/\psi $-channel is…
We examine the dependence of event rates at neutrino telescopes on the neutrino-nucleon cross section for neutrinos with energy above 1 PeV, and contrast the results with those for cosmic ray experiments. Simple scaling of the Standard…
It is recalled that spin-observables in the strangeness-exchange reaction $\bar{p}{p} \to \bar{\Lambda}{\Lambda}$ are not independent but are related to each other by simple algebraic relations. This provides constraints on the existing…
We discuss an extended model with chiral tensor particles in the Universe. Their direct influence on the Universe dynamics and their characteristic interactions in the hot Universe plasma, considered in previous publications, are briefly…
Results from the analysis of data obtained from the WA98 experiment at the CERN SPS have been presented. Some events have been filtered which show photon excess in limited $\eta-\phi$ zones within the overlap region of the charged particle…
