We comment on a recent paper by Giacosa, Gutsche, and Lyobovitskij, in which it is argued that a quarkonium interpretation of the $\sigma$ meson should give rise to a much smaller two-photon decay width than commonly assumed. The reason for…

We present the two-loop ${\cal O}(\alpha_sG_Fm_t^2)$ correction to the $b\bar b$ decay rate of the Stan\-dard-Model Higgs boson, assuming that the $t$ quark is much heavier than the Higgs boson. Apart from the universal correction connected…

Measuring the 2S-2P Lamb shift in a hydrogen-like muonic atom allows one to extract its nuclear charge radius with a high precision that is limited by the uncertainty in the nuclear structure corrections. The charge radius of the proton…
We continue the analysis of quantum two-particle bound systems we have started in (Kholmetskii, A.L., Missevitch, O.V. and Yarman, T. Phys. Scr., 82 (2010), 045301), where we re-postulated the Dirac equation for the bound electron in an…

We study the rare decay $Z_H \rightarrow H^0 \gamma$ at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{{\rm ew}}^{3}\alpha_s)$ accuracy including two-loop QCD corrections in the context of the littlest Higgs model (LHM) without $T$-parity. We revisit analytically…
The two-loop electron self-energy correction is one of the most problematic QED effects and, for a long time, was the dominant source of uncertainty in the theoretical prediction of the bound-electron $g$ factor in hydrogen-like ions. A…
