The only experimentally observed phenomenon that lies outside the standard model of the electroweak interaction is neutrino oscillations. A way to try to unify the extensive neutrino oscillation data is to add a phenomenological mass term…
In this talk, I discuss the general theory of neutrino oscillation experiments, putting special emphasis on the momentum distribution of the incoming neutrino beam. Then I discuss recent neutrino oscillation experiments, viz., LSND, KARMEN…
Positive evidence for neutrino oscillations is mounting from the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies and the LSND experiment. Accordingly, the neutrino mass differences appear to lie in the sub-eV range and at least some of the mixing…
Most of what is known about neutrino masses and mixings results from studies of oscillation phenomena. We focus on those neutrino properties that are not amenable to such studies: $\Sigma $, the sum of the absolute values of the neutrino…
The treatment of nuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus interactions is one of the main sources of systematic uncertainty for the analysis and interpretation of data of neutrino oscillation experiments. Neutrinos interact with nuclei via…
The first part of this article summarizes the evidence for Dark Energy and Dark Matter, as well as the naturalness issues which plague current theories of Dark Energy. The main point of this part is to argue why these naturalness issues…
A formulation of $D\is 10$ superparticle dynamics is given that contain space-time and twistor variables. The set of constraints is entirely first class, and gauge conditions may be imposed that reduces the system to a…
Neutrinos are neutral, spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles which undergo only weak interactions. The experimentally observed phenomenon of neutrino oscillation establishes the fact that neutrinos are massive and there is mixing between different…
The study of spin-glass dynamics, long considered the paradigmatic complex system, has reached important milestones. The availability of single crystals has allowed the experimental measurement of spin-glass coherence lengths of almost…
Determination of the high density behavior of the symmetry energy through the simultaneous measurement of elliptic flow excitation functions of neutrons, protons and light clusters is proposed. The elliptic flow developed in relativistic…
The meaning of statistical experiments with single microsystems in quantum mechanics is discussed and a general model in the framework of non-relativistic quantum field theory is proposed, to describe both coherent and incoherent…
Effects of gravitational interaction are generally neglected in particle physics. A first order formulation of gravity is presented to include gravity in Quantum Mechanical Lagrangian of fermions. It is seen that fermions minimally coupled…
From empirically determined values of some of the characteristic constants associated with homogeneous nuclear matter at saturation and sub-saturation densities, within the framework of a Skyrme-inspired energy density functional, we…
We study the off-equilibrium dynamics of a particle in a general $N$-dimensional random potential when $N \to \infty$. We demonstrate the existence of two asymptotic time regimes: {\it i.} stationary dynamics, {\it ii.} slow aging dynamics…
Neutrino flavors, light and heavy, are discussed in their interdependence within the minimal unifying gauge group of SO10. The general situation which excludes the existence of an {\it exact} symmetry from which {\it exactly} vanishing…
Orientable open string theories containing both bosons and fermions without the GSO projection are expected to have the 10 dimensional N=2(A) space-time supersymmetry in a spontaneously broken phase. We study the low-energy theorem for the…
It is shown by the author that if gravitons are super-strong interacting particles and the low-temperature graviton background exists, the basic cosmological conjecture about the Dopplerian nature of redshifts may be false. In this case, a…
I briefly discuss the role of neutrinos as probes in astroparticle physics and review the status of neutrino oscillation parameters as of June 2006, including recent fluxes, and latest SNO, K2K and MINOS results. I comment on the origin of…
I review the main features of the nuclear response extracted from electron scattering data. The emerging picture clearly shows that the shell model does not provide a fully quantitative description of nuclear dynamics. On the other hand,…
The nuclear spin, being much more isolated from the environment than its electronic counterpart, enables quantum experiments with prolonged coherence times and presents a gateway towards uncovering the intricate dynamics within an atom.…
