\textbf{Background}: Superallowed $0^+ \rightarrow 0^+$ $\beta$ decays of isospin $T=2$ nuclides can be used to test theoretical isospin symmetry breaking corrections applied to extract the CKM matrix element $V_{ud}$ from $T = 0,1$ decays…
TeO2 bolometers have been used for many years to search for neutrinoless double beta decay in 130-Te. CUORE, a tonne-scale TeO2 detector array, recently published the most sensitive limit on the half-life, $T_{1/2}^{0\nu} > 1.5 \times…
Upper bound 6*10^{-4} with 90% confidence is reported for the eta -> pi^0 pi^0 decay from the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M collider.
In June 2008 we performed a search for the 4He-eta bound state by measuring the excitation function of the dd to 3He p pi- reaction near the eta production threshold using the WASA-at-COSY detector. During the experimental run the momentum…
Neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay is a hypothesized lepton-number-violating process that offers the only known means of asserting the possible Majorana nature of neutrino mass. The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare…

Using 58 million J/\psi events accumulated with the BES II detector, branching fractions for the \eta_{c} ->VV decays, \eta_{c} -> \rho \rho, \eta_{c} -> K^{*}{\bar K}^{*}, \eta_{c} -> \omega \omega, and \eta_{c} -> \phi \phi, are measured.…
The double-beta (2$\beta$)-decay is the rarest nuclear physics process, and its experimental half-lives (T$_{1/2}$) exceed the age of the Universe from nine to fourteen orders of magnitude. Double-beta decay was observed, and its half-life…
We discuss the sensitivity of the processes e+e- to b b(bar), e+e- to t t(bar) and gamma gamma to H to certain residual New Physics interactions affecting the heavy quark and Higgs boson sector. With a linear collider of 500 GeV, one should…
The Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) is one of the basic principles of modern physics and, even if there are no compelling reasons to doubt its validity, it is still debated today because an intuitive, elementary explanation is still…
We present a new measurement of the 2nbb half-life of 130Te (T1/2) using the first complete model of the CUORE data, based on 1038 kg yr of collected exposure. Thanks to optimized data selection, we achieve a factor of two improvement in…
We examine the prospects for determining $\tan\beta$ from heavy Higgs scalar production in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at a future $e^+e^-$ collider. Our analysis is independent of assumptions of parameter unification, and we…
In very high energy scattering events production of multiple Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons becomes possible. Indeed the perturbative cross section for these processes grows with increasing energy, eventually violating perturbative…
