We analyse the origin of the magnetic field decay in normal radio pulsars found by us in a recent study. This decay has a typical time scale $\sim 4 \times 10^5$~yrs, and operates in the range $\sim 10^5$~--~few$\times 10^5$~yrs. We…

There is a new effect that can limit the lifetime of a weakly nonlinear wakefield in a radially bounded plasma. If the drive beam is narrow, some of the plasma electrons fall out of the collective motion and leave the plasma radially,…
We investigate the decay of condensates of scalars in a field theory defined by $V({\cal A})=m{}^2\,f{}^2\,[1-\cos({\cal A}\,/\,f)]$, where $m$ and $f$ are the mass and decay constant of the scalar field. An example of such a theory is that…
The leptons are viewed as composite objects, exhibiting anomalous magnetic moments and anomalous flavor-changing transition moments. The decay $\mu \to e \gamma$ is expected to occur with a branching ratio of the same order as the present…
We consider an axion cloud around a black hole with background magnetic fields. We calculate the decay rate of the axion cloud due to the axion-photon conversion associated with the axion-photon coupling. For simplicity, we consider the…
