The interaction of neutrinos with gravitational fields in the weak field regime at one loop to the leading order has been studied by Menon and Thalappilil. They deduced some theoretical differences between the Majorana and Dirac neutrinos.…

In this work a neutrino gas in equilibrium is studied both at T=0 and at finite temperature. Neutrinos are treated as massive Dirac quasi-particles with two generations. We include self-interactions among the neutrinos via neutral currents,…
An effective field theory developed for systems interacting through short-range interactions can be applied to systems of cold atoms with a large scattering length and to nucleons at low energies. It is therefore the ideal tool to analyze…
In spite of the general belief that neutrinos are Majorana particles, their character should be revealed experimentally. We begin by discussing why it is so difficult in terrestrial experiments. If neutrinos are Majorana particles, the…
A number of methods are discussed which may serve for a treatment of electron correlations in solids. When the electron correlations are relatively weak like in semiconductors or a number of ionic crystals one may start from a…
The experimental discovery that neutrinos almost certainly have masses and mix raises a number of fundamental questions about the neutrinos. We discuss what is presently known about the answers to these questions, and how we can learn more.
Most emergent properties of the materials discovered since the 1980s are related to the existence of electron-electron interactions which are large with respect to the kinetic energies and could not be thoroughly studied before. The…
We discuss recent developments in neutrino physics and focus, in particular, on neutrino oscillations and matter effects of three light active neutrinos. Moreover, we discuss the difference between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos, neutrinoless…
Studies in nuclear and atomic physics have played an important role in developing our understanding of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions. We review the basic ingredients of the Standard Model, and discuss some key nuclear and…
The interactions of the neutrini and antineutrini amongst themselves, as well as the interactions of these particles with the electrons and the positrons, are of interest in simulations of the early Universe and in studies of the processes…
In this paper we show that the neutrino observables, including an information about the transverse neutrino spin polarization, can be sensitive to the effects coming from the interference terms between the standard vector V, axial A…

I present the case for studying the nature of short-range internucleon interactions with electron-scattering experiments on few-body nuclear targets. I first review what electron-scattering studies have unearthed about the nature of the…
We study the long-range force arising between two aggregates of ordinary matter due to a neutrino-pair exchange, in the limit of zero neutrino mass. Even if matter is neutral of electric charge, it is charged for this weak force. The…
We review the physics of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and the results and perspectives for the measurements of the radius of the neutron distribution of the nucleus, of the weak mixing angle, and of new neutrino interactions…
The strong nuclear interaction between nucleons (protons and neutrons) is the effective force that holds the atomic nucleus together. This force stems from fundamental interactions between quarks and gluons (the constituents of nucleons)…
The form of an effective electron-electron interaction in a quantum wire with a large static dielectric constant is determined and the resulting properties of the electron liquid in such a one-dimensional system are described. The exchange…
