Effects of gravitational interaction are generally neglected in particle physics. A first order formulation of gravity is presented to include gravity in Quantum Mechanical Lagrangian of fermions. It is seen that fermions minimally coupled…
Planck scale physics represents a future challenge, located between particle physics and general relativity. The Planck scale marks a threshold beyond which the old description of spacetime breaks down and conceptually new phenomena must…

After a brief review of the first phase of development of Quantum-Gravity Phenomenology, I argue that this research line is now ready to enter a more advanced phase: while at first it was legitimate to resort to heuristic order-of-magnitude…
Effects of space time geometry fluctuations on fermionic fields have recently been looked for in nuclear physics experiments, and were found to be much lower than predicted, at a phenomenological level, by loop quantum gravity. We show that…

One considers the quantum dynamics of a charged spin-1/2 particle in an extended external eletromagnetic field that arises from the reduction of a 5-dimensional Abelian gauge theory. The non-relativistic regime of the reduced 4D-dynamics is…

We study the dynamics of a particle in continuous time and space, the displacement of which is governed by an internal degree of freedom (spin). In one definite limit, the so-called quantum random walk is recovered but, although quite…

The Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in a semi-infinite lab ($x > 0$), in the background metric $\ds^2 = u^2(x) (-\dt^2 + \dx^2) + \dy^2 + \dz^2$, are investigated. The resulting equations are studied for the special case $ u(x) = 1 + g x$.…
The gravitational effects in the relativistic quantum mechanics are investigated in a relativistically derived version of Heaviside's speculative Gravity (in flat space-time) named here as Maxwellian Gravity. The standard Dirac's approach…
This work explores how the generalized uncertainty principle, a theoretical modification of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle inspired by quantum gravity, affects neutrino flavor oscillations. By extending the standard two-flavor…
We analyze the behavior of a spinning particle in gravity, both from a quantum and a classical point of view. We infer that, since the interaction between the space-time curvature and a spinning test particle is expected, then the main…
