It has been recently discovered that some random processes may satisfy limit theorems even though they exhibit intermittency, namely an unusual growth of moments. In this paper we provide a deeper understanding of these intricate limiting…
We use spin correlations to constrain anomalous $\tau$-lepton couplings at the LHC including its anomalous magnetic moment, electric dipole moment and weak dipole moments. Single spin correlations are ideal to probe interference terms…
Recent experimental progress in the creation of synthetic electric and magnetic fields, acting on cold atoms in a two-dimensional lattice, has attracted renewed interest to the problem of a quantum particle in the Hall configuration. The…
We investigate the effect of near threshold resonances in reactive scattering at low energy. We find a general type of anomalous behavior of the cross sections, and illustrate it with a real system (H$_2$ + Cl). For inelastic processes, the…
A few key issues of present and future explorations of the physics of top quarks at the Tevatron and LHC are discussed.
Extensions of nuclear physics to the strange sector are reviewed, covering data and models of Lambda and other hypernuclei, multi-strange matter, and anti-kaon bound states and condensation. Past achievements are highlighted, present…
These lectures treat scattering theory from a non-perturbative point of view. The course begins with a review of formal aspects in scattering theory, discussing the in/out states and the $S$ matrix that connects them. Unitarity relations,…
We take a one-dimensional tight binding chain with periodic boundary condition and put a particle in an arbitrary Bloch state, then quench it by suddenly changing the potential of an arbitrary site. In the ensuing time evolution, the…
The current status of top quark studies at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and at the Linear Collider (LC) is summarized. Expectations on the measurements of the top mass, couplings and decays, of the top spin polarization and of the single…
No surface is perfectly planar at all scales. The notion of flatness of a surface therefore depends on the size of the probe used to observe it. As a consequence rough interfaces are abundant in nature. Here the old, but still active field…
We consider the calculation of scattering amplitudes in field theories dual to Lifshitz spacetimes. These amplitudes provide an interesting probe of the IR structure of the field theory; our aim is to use them to explore the observable…
We put constraints on unparticle physics, specifically on the scale $\Lambda_\U$ and the scale dimension $d_\U$ of unparticle operators, using (i) measurements of atomic parity violation as well as (ii) branching ratio and CP asymmetry…
Most signatures of new physics in colliders have been studied so far on the transverse plane with respect to the beam direction. In this work however we study the impact of a hidden sector beyond the Standard Model (SM) on inclusive…
Scattering of electromagnetic waves lies at the heart of most experimental techniques over nearly the entire electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from radio waves to optics and X-rays. Hence, deep insight into the basics of scattering theory…
Leveraging topological properties in the response of electromagnetic systems can greatly enhance their potential. Although the investigation of singularity-based electromagnetics and non-Hermitian electronics has considerably increased in…
We study the concentration of ladder sequences of spherical harmonics on caustic latitude circles. We prove that they have Airy scaling asymptotics. We also determine the weak* limit of certain empirical measures of $L^2$ norms of…
Wave-particle resonance, a ubiquitous process in the plasma universe, occurs when resonant particles observe a constant wave phase to enable sustained energy transfer. Here, we present spacecraft observations of simultaneous Landau and…
We study in a bottom-up approach the theoretically consistent description of additional resonances in the electroweak sector beyond the discovered Higgs boson as simplified models. We focus on scalar and tensor resonances. Our formalism is…
Over the past couple of years we have had significant progress in determining long-distance singularities in gauge-theory scattering amplitudes of massless particles beyond the planar limit. Upon considering all kinematic invariants much…
Multiple scattering problems involving point-source excitation of lossy media are considered. The sound fluxes induced by the interactions between the scattered fields are analyzed. Theorems connecting interaction intensities (active and…
