Jet quenching is one of the major discoveries of the heavy-ion program at RHIC. While there is a wealth of data from RHIC that will soon be supplemented with measurements at the LHC, on the theoretical side the situation is less clear. A…
The main obstacle in experimental realization of the Einstein-de Haas effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate is necessity of a very precise control of the extremely small (of the order of tens of $\mu$G) external magnetic field. In this paper…

We study finite quantum corrections for several well known neutrino mixing matrices and find that it is hard to account for the large value of \theta_13 recently reported by T2K and MINOS. To nicely reproduce all experimentally favored…
High transverse momentum ($p_T$) single non-photonic electrons which have been measured in the RHIC experiments come dominantly from heavy meson decay. The ratio of their $p_T$ spectra in pp and AA collisions ($R_{AA}(p_T)$) reveals the…
We present experiments demonstrating trajectory-dependent electronic excitations at low ion velocities, where ions are expected to primarily interact with delocalized valence electrons. The energy loss of H$^+$, H$_2 ^+$, He$^+$, B$^+$,…

By performing an analysis in moment space using high statistics DIS world data, we extract the values of both the QCD parameter $\Lambda^{(4)}_{\bar{MS}}$ up to NLO and of the power corrections to the proton structure function, $F_2$. At…
Heavy ion double charge exchange reactions are described by sequential meson-exchange, corresponding to a double single charge exchange (DSCE) reaction mechanism. The theoretical formulation is discussed. The fully quantum mechanical…
The explanation of the accelerated expansion of the Universe poses one of the most fundamental questions in physics and cosmology today. If the acceleration is driven by some form of dark energy, one can try to constrain the parameters…

There is a plethora of dark energy parameterizations that can fit current supernovae Ia data. However, this data is only sensitive to redshifts up to order one. In fact, many of these parameterizations break down at higher redshifts. In…
