With the knowledge of diffractive parton densities extracted from HERA data, we discuss the observation of exclusive events using the dijet mass fraction as measured by the CDF collaboration at the Tevatron. In particular the impact of the…
Solar and atmospheric neutrino data require physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The simplest, most generic, but not yet unique, interpretation of the data is in terms of neutrino oscillations. I summarize the results of…

New light vector particles - hidden photons - are present in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. They can be produced in nuclear reactors and registered by neutrino detectors. We obtain new limits on the models with…
We re-examine the predictions of a two-phase model of shadowing in nuclear deep-inelastic scattering in light of new NMC data on the x, A and Q**2 dependence of the ratios of structure functions. The model, which combines vector meson…
Many experiments seek dark matter by detecting relatively low energy nuclear recoils. Yet since events from ordinary physics with energies in the 1-100 KeV range are commonplace, all claims of signals or their absence hinge on exhaustive…

We calculate spectrum of diffractively produced gluons in onium-heavy nucleus collisions at high energies. We show that it exhibits a characteristic dependence on nucleus atomic number A and energy/rapidity. We argue that this dependence…
We consider deep inelastic scattering off nuclei in the Regge limit within the Glauber-Gribov model. Using unitarized parton distribution functions for the proton, we find sizeable shadowing effects on the nuclear total and longitudinal…
The problem of generating light neutrinos within supersymmetric models is discussed. It is shown that the hierarchy of scales induced by supersymmetry breaking can give rise to suppression factors of the correct order of magnitude to…
A brief review is given of the status of nucleon spin structure functions as determined from polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scatttering, including current outstanding problems. The characteristics of a polarized HERA collider, some…
We present a revision of predictions for nuclear shadowing in deep-inelastic scattering at small Bjorken $x_{Bj}$ corresponding to kinematic regions accessible by the future experiments at electron-ion colliders. The nuclear shadowing is…
Spacecraft observations in the inner heliosphere offer the first opportunity to measure 1-10 MeV solar neutrons. We discuss the physics of low-energy neutron production in solar flares and show that, even at interacting-particle energies of…
Including nucleon-nucleon correlations due to both Fermi statistics and nuclear forces, we have developed a general formalism for calculating the neutral-current neutrino-nucleon opacities in nuclear matter. We derive corrections to the…
Light nuclei fall within a regime of universal physics governed by the fact that the two-nucleon scattering lengths are large compared to the typical nuclear interaction range set by one-pion exchange. This places nuclear physics near the…
We calculate, in the Glauber-Mueller approach, the ratio of the diffractive dissociation cross section to the total cross section on nuclei. We observe that shadowing corrections (SC) are significant, in the calculated $\ddt$ ratio but they…
The complex nature of the nuclear forces generates a broad range and diversity of observational phenomena. Heavy nuclei, though orders of magnitude less massive than neutron stars, are governed by the same underlying physics, which is…
Shadowing corrections to structure functions of heavy nuclei are calculated at very low values of Bjorken-$x$ and at values of the momentum transfer relevant to recent experiments. Good agreement is obtained with data from the E665…
The electron-proton collisions collected by the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA comprise a unique particle physics data set, and a comprehensive range of measurements has been performed to provide new insight into the structure of the…
