The level-crossing probability, local and global adiabaticity conditions are discussed for 2-flavour neutrino oscillations in matter with arbitrary mixing angle $\theta$. Different approximations for the survival probability of supernova…
We study the spectrum of stable static fermion bags in the 1+1 dimensional Gross-Neveu model with $N$ flavors of Dirac fermions, in the large $N$ limit. In the process, we discover a new kink, heavier than the Callan-Coleman-Gross-Zee…
By adopting a state-of-the-art parameterized model of electron antineutrino emission, we have made some steps forward in the analysis of the thermodynamical properties and temporal structure of neutrino emission from core collapse SN1987A.…
New data on neutrino masses is very exciting. It is the first evidence for physics beyond the standard model. In this talk we discuss this data and how it may (or may not) be used to constrain theories of charged fermion masses. The talk is…
We have searched for the pion decay pi^+ --> mu^+ X, where X is a neutral particle of mass 33.905 MeV. This process was suggested by the KARMEN Collaboration to explain an anomaly in their observed time distribution of neutrino induced…
We study neutrino oscillations and the level-crossing probability PLZ in power-law potential profiles A(r)\propto r^n. We give local and global adiabaticity conditions valid for all mixing angles theta and discuss different representations…
We obtain possibly valuable information about the orientation-tuning of phase diagram of superdense nuclear matter at high fermion as well as boson number density but low temperature, which is not accessible to relativistic heavy ion…
The spectrum of the fermionic operators depending on external fields is an important object in Quantum Field Theory. In this paper we prove, using transition to the alternative basis for the $\gamma$-matrices, that this spectrum does not…
Neutrinos, being the only fermions in the Standard Model of Particle Physics that do not possess electromagnetic or color charges, have the unique opportunity to communicate with fermions outside the Standard Model through mass mixing. Such…
Recently collected SNIa data have been used to address the problem of measuring the cosmological parameters of the universe. Analysed in the framework of homogeneous models, they have yielded, as a primary result, a strictly positive…
Speckle interferometry observations, made just 30 and 38 days after the explosion of supernova SN1987A (SN) (which was first seen on February 23, 1987), showed evidence for a bright source, separated from the SN by only 60 mas. Reprocessing…
The noble-alkali comagnetometer, developed in recent years, has been shown to be a very accurate measuring device of anomalous magnetic-like fields. An ultra-light relic axion-like particle can source an anomalous field that permeates…
I discuss how different cosmological observations can test the possibility that neutrinos might be unstable on cosmological times, resulting into an unstable cosmic neutrino background. I also discuss out how actually there are different…
Generic extensions of the Standard Model that respect baryon and lepton numbers have accidentally stable particles. Typical examples are the lightest exotic neutral fermion, or "neutralino", and fields with non-trivial lepton and baryon…
A new density matrix and corresponding quantum kinetic equations are introduced for fermions undergoing coherent evolution either in time (coherent particle production) or in space (quantum reflection). A central element in our derivation…
We perform canonical analysis of non-relativistic particle in Newton-Cartan Background. Then we extend this analysis to the case of non-relativistic superparticle in the same background. We determine constraints structure of this theory and…
Relativistic quantum effects on physical observables of scalar charged particles are studied. Possible peculiarities of their behavior that can be verified in an experiment can confirm several fundamental conceptions of quantum mechanics.…
The detectability of the fermion-potentials appearing in a unified model of fermions is discussed from the viewpoint of an effective field theory. Although the fermion-potentials are effectively represented as terms similar to the…
I argue that the limits on this quantity obtained using model-independent parameterizations contain an tacit assumption that could be invalidated under a variety of situations. As a specific example, existing limits on $\Lambda $ would be…
