We study the inner structure of a positronium confined to a void by treating it as a two-particle quantum system where the electron is captured by an infinite potential well and the positron feels only the Coulomb attraction of the…
Standard Model predictions for neutrino-electron scattering cross-sections, including effects of electroweak radiative corrections, are reviewed. The sensitivity of those quantities to neutrino dipole moments, z' bosons, dynamical symmetry…
