Fixed-$t$ subtracted dispersion relations are presented for Compton scattering off the nucleon at energies $E_\gamma \leq 500$ MeV, as a formalism to extract the nucleon polarizabilities from the data with a minimum of model dependence. The…
TeV-range cosmic ray electrons and positrons (CREs) have been directly measured in the search for new physics or unknown astrophysical sources. CREs can inverse-Compton scatter solar photons and boost their energies into gamma ray bands.…
W Comae has significant variability in multi-wavelengthes, from the radio to the gamma-ray bands. A bright outburst in the optical and X-ray bands was observed in 1998, and most recently, a strong TeV flare was detected by VERITAS in 2008.…
The next generation of $e^+e^-$-colliders will offer a possibility of clean testing of QCD dynamics in the Regge limit. Recent progress in the theoretical description of exclusive processes permits for many of them a consistent use of the…
We study the process e+e- -->nu nubar gamma to search for its sensitivity to the extra gauge bosons Z_2, Z_3 and W_2 which are suggested by the little Higgs models. We find that the ILC with sqrt(s)=0.5 TeV and CLIC with sqrt(s)=3 TeV cover…

We perform a study of the doubly virtual Compton scattering off a spinless target gamma* P -> gamma* P' within the Anti-de Sitter(AdS)/QCD formalism. We find that the general structure allowed by the Lorentz invariance and gauge invariance…
Quantum or torsion gravity models predict unusual properties of space-time at very short distances. In particular, near the Planck length, around 1E-35 m, empty space may behave as a crystal, singly or doubly refractive. However, this…

Strange matter is believed to exist in the cores of neutron stars based on simple kinematics. If this is true, then hyperon-nucleon interactions will play a significant part in the neutron star equation of state (EOS). Yet, compared to…
Virtual Compton Scattering (VCS) at low transferred momenta to the proton ($t$) and sufficiently high c.m. energies ($s$) may be used to a) study $Q^2$--dependence of leading $t$--channel exchanges and b) look for onset of scaling behavior…
