Disorder derived from defects or strain in monolayer TMDs can lead to a dramatic change in the physical behavior of the interband excitations, producing inhomogeneous spectral broadening and localization; leading to radiative lifetime…
We study visible neutrino decay at the reactor neutrino experiments KamLAND and, JUNO. Assuming the Majoron model of neutrino decay, we obtain constraints on the couplings between Majoron and neutrino as well as on the lifetime/mass of the…
We consider the impact of O(alpha^2) hadronic corrections to the energy spectrum of the decay electron in muon decay. We find that the correction can be described, within good approximation, by a linear function in the electron energy.…
Three important QCD-related aspects of the $\tau$ and $\mu$ dynamics are reviewed: the determination of the strong coupling from the hadronic tau decay width, leading to the updated value $\alpha_s(m_\tau^2) = 0.331 \pm 0.013$; the…
The difference of the rest masses m(pi^+-) - m(mu^+-) is nearly equal to 1/4 of the rest mass of the pi^(+-) mesons and is equal to the sum of the rest masses of the 0.7 times 10^9 muon neutrinos (respectively anti-muon neutrinos) which are…
The constructions of the new high-intensity muon beamlines are progressing in facilities around the world, and new physics searches related to the muons are expected. The facilities can observe the transverse positron polarization of the…
An analysis is given of the decay $\mu \to e+ \gamma$ in an MSSM extension with a vectorlike generation. Here mixing with the mirrors allows the possibility of this decay. The analysis is done at the one loop level with the exchange of…
We determine the rates of the $B$ meson decays into a $K^{(*)}$ and an $\ell^+ \ell^-$ bound state, the leptonium, where $\ell = e,\mu,\tau$. The two spin states of the leptonium, the spin singlet and the spin triplet, couple to the axial…
We study effects of unparticle physics on muon g-2 and LFV tau decay processes. LFV interactions between the Standard Model sector and unparticles can explain the difference of experimental value of muon g-2 from the Standard Model…
Using the large hadroproduced charm sample collected in experiment E791 at Fermilab, we report the first directly measured constraint on the decay-width difference Delta Gamma for the mass eigenstates of the D0-D0bar system. We obtain our…
We studied the radiative muon decay $\mu^+ \to e^+\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma$ by using for the first time an almost fully polarized muon source. We identified a large sample (~13000) of these decays in a total sample of 1.8x10^14 positive muon…
The width for the mu decay is calculated in the V-A theory leaving open the possibility of non zero neutrino masses. It is shown that not only the agreement with the experimental data is kept, but the smallness of the experimental error…
When a muon bound in an atom decays, there is a small probability that the daughter electron remains bound. That probability is evaluated. Surprisingly, a significant part of the rate is contributed by the negative energy component of the…
We study the $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$ decays in the early epoch of the universe. If $m_{\nu_{\tau}}>2m_e$, there would be a CP asymmetry between $\nu_{\tau}\rightarrow e^++e^-+\nu_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_{\tau} \rightarrow…
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 present a simultaneous measurement of the B0bar lifetime tau(B0) and mixing parameter $Delta m_d$. We use a sample of about 50000 B0bar -> D*+ l- anti-nu(l) partially reconstructed decays identified with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II…
The last missing correction to the muon lifetime in the Standard Model at O(alpha^2) coming from gauge and Higgs boson loops is presented. The associated contribution to the parameter Delta r in the on-shell scheme ranges from 6 times…
The calculation of the $\mu$ decay is performed in V-A theory taking into account that, in agreement with the observation of the oscillations, the neutrinos must be massive. Provided that the masses of the electron and muon neutrinos are…
We compute O(alpha_s^2) QCD corrections to the lepton invariant mass spectrum in the decay b --> u l nu_l, relevant for the determination of the CKM matrix element |V_{ub}|. Our method can also be used to evaluate moments of the lepton…
Minimal extensions of the Standard Model that are motivated by grand unified theories or superstring models with an E_6 symmetry can naturally predict heavy neutrinos of Dirac or Majorana nature. Such heavy neutral leptons violate the de-…
