Nucleon form factors are calculated on q^2 in [0,3] GeV^2 using an Ansatz for the nucleon's Fadde'ev amplitude motivated by quark-diquark solutions of the relativistic Fadde'ev equation. Only the scalar diquark is retained, and it and the…

We study the dependence of the primordial nuclear abundances as a function of the electromagnetic fine-structure constant $\alpha$, keeping all other fundamental constants fixed. We update the leading nuclear reaction rates, in particular…

In this talk, we discuss the idea of how Dirac or Pseudo-Dirac neutrino masses arise naturally with a correct size, after the breaking of local N=1 supersymmetry.

Taking into account the helicity of a massless particle, which obeys a Dirac equation and is exposed to an electromagnetic field, one soon arrives at a Lagrangian containing a chiral supersymmetric operator. We can even achieve an analogous…

The recently introduced reconciliation of the theories of special relativity and wave mechanics implies that the mass-energy equivalence principle must be expressed mathematically as H = mv^2, where H is the total energy of a particle, m is…

A mechanism for generating massive but naturally light Dirac neutrinos is proposed. It involves composite Higgs within the standard model as well as some new interaction beyond the standard model. According to this scenario, a neutrino mass…
