It is possible that the proton is stable while atomic hydrogen is not. This is the case in models with new particles carrying baryon number which are light enough to be stable themselves but heavy enough so that proton decay is…
The recent values of the proton charge radius obtained by means of muonic-hydrogen laser spectroscopy are about $4\%$ different from the electron scattering data. It has been suggested that the proton radius is actually measured in…
It is demonstrated that new JLAB proton polarization data, which are in a rather strong disagreement with the proton electric form factor data in the space-like region obtained by Rosenbluth technique, are consistent with all known form…
It is shown that the solution for the electrostatic potential used in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 (2006) 030402, arXiv:math-ph/0506069] is not correct and therefore cannot provide a more accurate spectrum of the hydrogen atom in the…
This paper provides a complete self-consistent nonlinear theory for electron plasma waves, within the framework of the adiabatic approximation. The theory applies whatever the variations of the wave amplitude, provided that they are slow…
Three main statements are advocated in this talk: 1. Protons become more active at the periphery with increase of their collision energy as follows from comparison of ISR and LHC data. 2. The geometric scaling is violated even in the…
We consider free atoms and ions in $\R^3$ interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field. Because of the translation invariance we consider the reduced hamiltonian associated with the total momentum. After introducing an ultraviolet…
We study electroweak interactions in the multiscale theory with $q$-derivatives, a framework where spacetime has the typical features of a multifractal. In the simplest case with only one characteristic time, length and energy scale $t_*$,…
The present status and recent developments in the theory of light hydrogenic atoms, electronic and muonic, are extensively reviewed. The discussion is based on the quantum field theoretical approach to loosely bound composite systems. The…
Thermal corrections to the one-photon spontaneous and induced transition probabilities for hydrogen and hydrogen-like ions are evaluated. The found thermal corrections are given by the vertex Feynman graph, where the vertex represents the…
A detailed analysis of the bremsstrahlung spectrum at nonrelativistic electron scattering on argon and xenon is carried out. It is shown that the approximate formulas widely used for the description of bremsstrahlung spectra lead to…
We revisit the $m \alpha^6 (m/M)$ order corrections to the hyperfine splitting in the H$_2^+$ ion, and find a hitherto unrecognized second-order relativistic contribution associated with the vibrational motion of the nuclei. Inclusion of…
We study a non-commutative deformation of general relativity based on spectral invariants of a partial differential operator acting on sections of a vector bundle over a smooth manifold. We compute the first non-commutative corrections to…
The quantum dynamics of nonrelativistic single particle systems involving noncommutative coordinates, usually referred to as noncommutative quantum mechanics, has lately been the object of several investigations. In this note we pursue…
We extend our previous studies on phase IV of solid hydrogen by employing larger cells and k-sampling. We show that uncorrelated hexagonal rotations in the weakly bounded G"-layers are needed to account for the experimentally measured Raman…
Potentially large non-universal corrections to the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters arise from their evolution between the Planck and the grand-unification scales. We detail typical patterns of non-universality in GUT models, as well…
Although the neutron (n) does not carry a total electric charge, its charge and magnetization distributions represented in momentum space by the electromagnetic form factors, $F_1^{(n)} (q^2)$ and $F_2^{(n)} (q^2)$, lead to an…
In a large class of scalar-tensor theories that are potential candidates for dark energy, a nonminimal coupling between the scalar and the photon is possible. The presence of such an interaction grants us the exciting prospect of directly…
The non-relativistic hydrogen atom enjoys an accidental $SO(4)$ symmetry, that enlarges the rotational $SO(3)$ symmetry, by extending the angular momentum algebra with the Runge-Lenz vector. In the relativistic hydrogen atom the accidental…
The phenomenological investigation of noncommutative space-time in the laboratory frame are presented. We formulate the apparent time variation of noncommutativity parameter $\theta_{\mu\nu}$ in the laboratory frame due to the earth's…
