We show that fractional charges can be realized at the boundaries of a linear array of tunnel coupled quantum dots in the presence of a periodically modulated onsite potential. While the charge fractionalization mechanism is similar to the…

Large density fluctuations of charged particles are the promising signatures for exploring the QCD phase transition and critical point in heavy ion collisions. These fluctuations are expected to exhibit fractal and scale invariant…

The upper bound on the number of relativistic species present at nucleosynthesis has been used to constrain particles with electric charge $\epsilon e$ ($10^{-8} < \epsilon <1$). We correct the bound previously calculated for milli-charged…

Stationary solutions of the Chern-Simons effective field theory for the fractional quantum Hall systems with edges are presented for Hall bar, disk and annulus. In the infinitely long Hall bar geometry (non compact case), the charge density…

We demonstrate that the use of on-shell methods involving calculation of the discontinuity across the t-channel cut associated with the exchange of a pair of massless particles can be used to evaluate loop contributions to the…

Results on the search for particles decaying into Zgamma to llgamma are presented. Using roughly 1 fb-1 of data, dilepton-plus-photon invariant mass distributions have been examined for an excess over the theoretical predictions. Having…

Fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FNDMC) is a stochastic quantum many-body method that has a great potential in electronic structure theory. We examine how FNDMC satisfies exact constraints, linearity and derivative discontinuity of total…

We propose a new technique for determining the spin of new massive particles that might be discovered at the Large Hadron Collider. The method relies on pair-production of the new particles in a kinematic regime where the vector boson…

Stabilization and dispersion of electrical charge by colloids in non-polar media, such as nano-particles or inverse micelles, is significant for a variety of chemical and technological applications, ranging from drug delivery to e-ink. Many…

We report the results of a search for the anomalous production of a massive particle decaying to four electrons via two Z^0 bosons in 1.1 fb^{-1} of p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector at Fermilab. We…

Particle identification using the energy loss in silicon detectors is a powerful technique for probing the Standard Model (SM) as well as searching for new particles beyond the SM. Traditionally, such techniques use the truncated mean of…

We report on a search for elementary particles with charges much smaller than the electron charge using a data sample of proton-proton collisions provided by the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2023--24, corresponding to an integrated…

We study two-dimensional spinful insulating phases of matter that are protected by time-reversal and crystalline symmetries. To characterize these phases we employ the concept of corner charge fractionalization: Corners can carry charges…

The introduction of magnetic charge into Maxwell's equations has led to an extensive search for magnetically charged particles (magnetic monopoles). A particle model developed by one of us (DF) adds an additional feature to Maxwell's…

A search for heavy long-lived multi-charged particles is performed using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Data collected in 2012 at $\sqrt{s}$=8 TeV from $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $20.3$ fb$^{-1}$ are…

A search is made for massive long-lived highly ionising particles with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, using 3.1 pb-1 of pp collision data taken at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The signature of energy loss in the ATLAS inner detector…

We have searched for decays of the tau lepton into seven or more charged particles, using data collected with the OPAL detector from 1990 to 1995 in e^+e^- collisions at sqrt(s) ~ M_Z. No candidate events were found and an upper limit on…

This paper presents a search for new particles in events with one lepton (electron or muon) and missing transverse momentum using 20.3 $fb^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the…

Previously, we showed that massless scalar point particles cannot propagate on classical backgrounds of chiral higher-spin theory. This conclusion was derived from the analysis of the light-cone consistency conditions occurring at the…

A search for heavy charged long-lived particles is performed using a data sample of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The search is based on…
