We determine the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ correction to the energy spectrum of electrons produced in the decay of muons bound in atoms. We focus on the high-energy end of the spectrum that constitutes a background for the muon-electron…
The change in the decay rate of an excited atom that is brought about by extinction and thermal-radiation effects in a nearby dielectric medium is determined from a quantummechanical model. The medium is a collection of randomly distributed…
We clarify how intense laser irradiation leads to an enhancement of rare processes that may occur within atoms. Non-perturbative calculation using a coherent laser beam gives an exact, time dependent formula of the enhancement factor in the…
It is well known that the matter can significantly alter the picture of neutrino oscillation \cite{W} or neutrino decay \cite{BV}. Here we show that the presence of dense matter induces also the decay of {\it massless} majoron, a Goldstone…
Radiative muon decay in the kinematics similar to the neutrinoless decay $\mu\to e\gamma$ is considered. Radiative corrections due to 1-loop virtual photons and emission of additional soft or hard photons are taken into account. Analytical…
The decay of photon by the influence of magnetic field is considered. It is shown here that if the photon energy is grater than 1 MeV then photon can decay electron positron pair, but if it remains below 1 MeV then photon decays into…
Emission of muonium ($\mu^+e^-$) atoms from a laser-processed aerogel surface into vacuum was studied for the first time. Laser ablation was used to create hole-like regions with diameter of about 270$~\mu$m in a triangular pattern with…
Bound-muon decays are a powerful probe of new physics, making precise theoretical predictions for their spectra essential. While QED corrections significantly affect the shape of the spectra, their calculation is extremely challenging below…
A magnetic detector such as MINOS which is measuring the sign of muons has to deal with issues of bending, which depend on the magnetic field configuration, and multiple scattering, which depends on the amount of material which is…
We review radiative corrections to tau decays into two mesons discussing their impact in new physics searches.
Radiative corrections to the decay rate in the low-Z hydrogen-like muonic atoms are considered. The correction arises from the Uehling potential and it has the relative order of alpha. The numerical results are reported for the 2p-1s…
The physics potential of an intense source of low-energy muons is studied. Such a source is a necessary stage towards building the neutrino factories and muon colliders which are being considered at present. The CERN Neutrino Factory could…
Observation of the decay of muons produced in the Earth's atmosphere by cosmic ray interactions provides a graphic illustration of the counter-intuitive space-time predictions of special relativity theory. Muons at rest in the atmosphere,…
The leptonic decay of the charged pion in the presence of background magnetic fields is investigated using quenched Wilson fermions. It is demonstrated that the magnetic field opens up a new channel for this decay. The magnetic…
We compute the decay rate of dimuonium into a neutral pion and a photon. We find that approximately one in 10^5 ortho-dimuonia decays into this channel. We also determine the contribution of the virtual photon-pion loop to the hyperfine…
Magnetars are comparatively young neutron stars with ultra-strong surface magnetic field in the range $10^{14-16}$ G. The old neutron stars have surface magnetic field some what less $\sim 10^8$ G which clearly indicates the decay of field…
This paper looks at a potentially unique measurable due to photon-axion coupling in an external magnetic field. Simulations indicate that probing couplings significantly lower than seen by previous cavity experiments is possible.
Several recent papers conclude that radio-pulsar magnetic fields decay on a time-scale of 10 Myr, apparently contradicting earlier results. We have implemented the methods of these papers in our code and show that this preference for rapid…
The first order QED corrections to the polarized muon decay spectrum are considered. The exact dependence on electron and muon masses is kept. Numerical results are presented.
In this work we calculate the decay rate of the electron type neutrinos into $W$ bosons and electrons in presence of an external uniform magnetic field. The decay rate is calculated from the imaginary part of the $W$ exchange neutrino…
