Indications of the existence of quasi-bound states in the N-Nbar system are presented. Measurements by BES discovered a broad enhancement close to the p-pbar threshold in the S wave, isospin 0 state formed in radiative decays of J/psi.…

A bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a spatially bounded energy eigenstate lying in a continuous spectrum of extended eigenstates. While various types of single-particle BICs have been found in the literature, whether or not BICs can…
We prove the well posedness of a class of non linear and non local mixed hyperbolic-parabolic systems in bounded domains, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In view of control problems, stability estimates on the dependence of solutions on…

Coupled-channel three-body calculations of an $I=1/2$, $J^{\pi}=0^-$ $\bar{K}NN$ quasi-bound state in the $\bar{K}NN - \pi \Sigma N$ system were performed and the dependence of the resulting three-body energy on the two-body $\bar{K}N - \pi…

Effects of the $\Sigma$N channels on the spin-orbit force in $\Lambda$-hypernuclei are investigated. It is found that the cancellation between the symmetric and the antisymmetric $\Lambda$N spin-orbit force becomes more complete when the…
In the two Higgs doublet model, there is the possibility that the vacuum where the universe resides in is metastable. We present the tree-level bounds on the scalar potential parameters which have to be obeyed to prevent that situation.…
We study systems containing electrons and nuclei. Based on the fact that the thermodynamic limit exists for systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove that the same limit is obtained if one imposes other boundary conditions such…
We make a critical analysis on the theoretical calculations that lead to predictions of deeply bound kaonic states in nuclei. The model set-up, after dropping several important processes and channels, leads unavoidably to an unrealistic…
The three-neutron ($3n$) system is studied by numerical calculations with the Faddeev three-body formalism for a realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential. A response function for the transition from ${}^3\mathrm{H}$ to $3n$ continuum states…
The strictly reversible, thermodynamically equilibrium nature of the free rotation of a body makes it possible to obtain a number of bounds on the rotational characteristics within individual rotational bands of nonspherical nuclei. As a…

We investigate the existence of bound states in a one-dimensional quantum system of $N$ identical particles interacting with each other through an inverse square potential. This system is equivalent to the Calogero model without the…
The upper mass bound of the lightest neutral Higgs scalar is studied in the $\mu$ problem solvable extra U(1) models by using the analysis of the renormalization group equations. In order to restrict the parameter space we take account of a…
