Let us consider some Coulomb systems of several infinitely massive centers of charge Z and one-two electrons: $(Z,e)$, $(2Z,e)$, $(3Z,e)$, $(4Z,e)$, $(2Z,e,e)$, $(3Z,e,e)$. It is shown that the physical, integer charges $Z=1,2,...$ do not…
To elucidate the significance of the effect of systematic uncertainties in light element abundance estimates on cosmological bounds derivable from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) we present tables giving bounds on $\Omega_{baryon}$ and…
In 1873, James C. Maxwell conjectured that the electric field generated by $n$ point charges in generic position has at most $(n-1)^2$ isolated zeroes. The first (non-optimal) upper bound was only obtained in 2007 by Gabrielov, Novikov and…
We show that higher-order vacuum polarization would contribute a measureable net charge to atoms, if the charges of electrons and positrons do not balance precisely. We obtain the limit $|Q_e+Q_{\bar e}| < 10^{-18} e$ for the sum of the…
Some of last year's progress made in hypernuclear physics is reviewed as follows: (i) resolving the $_{\Lambda}^5$He overbinding problem in single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei [1]; (ii) arguing that the onset of binding double-$\Lambda$…
The lowest moment of the twist-two, chiral-odd parton distribution $h_1(x)$ of the nucleon can be related to the so-called ``tensor charges'' of the nucleon. We consider the tensor charges in the Skyrme model, and find that in the…
We examine the extent to which the properties of three-nucleon bound states are well-reproduced in the limit that nuclear forces satisfy Wigner's SU(4) (spin-isospin) symmetry. To do this we compute the charge radii up to next-to-leading…
The Schr\"odinger equation for a charged particle in the field of a nonrelativistic electric quadrupole in two dimensions is known to be separable in spherical coordinates. We investigate the occurrence of bound states of negative energy…
The constraint on the mass of the charged Higgs boson from the recent measurement of the inclusive $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ decay is studied in a framework of the minimal supergravity. It is shown that the lower bound for the charged Higgs…
We explore the potential of precision spectroscopy of heavy exotic atoms where electrons are substituted by negative hadrons to detect new force carriers with hadronic couplings. The selected transitions are unaffected by nuclear contact…
$\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ nuclear bound state energies are calculated for various nuclei neglecting any possible effects of the widths. Essential input for the calculations, namely the medium-modified $B$ and $B^{*}$ meson masses, as well as…
A general approach to analyze the electrodynamics of nuclear matter in bulk is presented using the relativistic Thomas-Fermi equation generalizing to the case of $N \simeq (m_{\rm Planck}/m_n)^3$ nucleons of mass $m_n$ the approach well…
A version of the $\mbox{SU(3)}_L\otimes \mbox{U(1)}_N$ electroweak theory in which there are right-handed neutrino currents is reconsidered in detail. We argue that in order to have a result consistent with low-energy one, the right-handed…
The atomic numbers and the masses of fragments formed in quasi-fission reactions have been simultaneously measured at scission in 48 Ti + 238 U reactions at a laboratory energy of 286 MeV. The atomic numbers were determined from measured…
A study is made of nuclear size corrections to the energy levels of single-electron atoms for the ground state of hydrogen like atoms. We consider Fermi charge distribution to the nucleus and calculate atomic energy level shift due to the…
We theoretically study the electronic properties of BC2N nanoribbons with zigzag edges using a tight binding model. We show that the zigzag BC2N nanoribbons have the flat bands and edge states when atoms are arranged as B-C-N-C along the…
General analytic energy bounds are derived for N-boson systems governed by semirelativistic Hamiltonians of the form H=\sum_{i=1}^N \sqrt(p_i^2+m^2) + \sum_{1=i<j}^N V(r_{ij}), where V(r) is a static attractive pair potential. A…
We consider a tight binding model for localised crystalline defects with electrons in the canonical ensemble (finite electronic temperature) and nuclei positions relaxed according to the Born--Oppenheimer approximation. We prove that the…
A linear increase with the volume of the topological susceptibility can signal spontaneous breaking of parity and time inversion, due to a nonzero vacuum expectation value of the topological charge. Such a breaking would produce a nonzero…
Theoretically, the electric charge of the tau neutrino may be non-zero. The experimental bound on the electric charge of the tau neutrino is many orders of magnitude weaker than that for any other known neutrino. If the tau neutrino does…
