While neutrino oscillation experiments have demonstrated that neutrinos have small, nonzero masses, much remains unknown about their properties and decay modes. One potential decay mode --- neutrinoless double beta decay ($0 \nu \beta…

We study the low energy expansion of the nucleon's electroweak form factors in the framework of an effective chiral Lagrangian including pions, nucleons and the $Delta (1232)$. We work to third order in the so-called small scale expansion…

The evaluation of the nuclear matrix elements (NME) of the two-neutrino double beta ($2\nu\beta\beta$) decay and neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay using the proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) is…

We construct domain wall fermions with a staggered kernel and investigate their spectral and chiral properties numerically in the Schwinger model. In some relevant cases we see an improvement of chirality by more than an order of magnitude…

The short-distance contribution due to the $c\to u\gamma$ penguin as well as long-distance contributions are considered in an analysis of $D\to V\gamma$ decays, the latter being dominant. The matrix elements for nine $D\to V\gamma$…

We study two-neutrino ($2\nu\beta\beta$) and neutrinoless double-$\beta$ ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decays in the nuclear shell model and proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) frameworks. Calculating the decay half-life…

We derive the expressions of the vector and axial current from a chiral Lagrangian restricted to nucleons and pions. They display mixing terms between the axial and vector currents. We study the modifications in the nuclear medium of the…

We derive the three-nucleon neutrinoless double beta decay potential in $\Delta$-full chiral effective field theory through next-to-next-to-next-to leading order in Weinberg's power counting. The matrix elements of the resulting operators…

Proton decay is a major prediction of Grand-Unified Theories (GUT) and its observation would indicate baryon number violation that is required for baryogenesis. Many decades of searching for proton decay have constrained its rate and ruled…

The top-family quarks will decay in charm-family quarks while beauty-family quarks serve the purpose of spectrators. Decay matrix is suggested for quark and lepton decays.

We present results from lattice perturbation theory for the residual mass and other matrix elements measuring the breaking of chiral symmetry in domain-wall fermions. We have used the exact propagators corresponding to a finite number of…

We report contributions to the nucleon spin and momentum from light quarks calculated using dynamical domain wall fermions with pion masses down to 300 MeV and fine lattice spacing a=0.084 fm. Albeit without disconnected diagrams, we…

A physical model which describes the CKM matrix is analyzed. The elements of such a matrix are field-strength renormalization factors. Each column gives the probability amplitude for the field operators of the coupled Lagrangian to create a…

We reconsider decays of pseudoscalar mesons (P) to neutrino pairs and possibly additional photons in presence of (light) Majorana neutrinos. For this purpose we derive a model-independent general parametrization of neutrino mass matrices…

In this paper we consider approximations of Neumann problems for the integral fractional Laplacian by continuous, piecewise linear finite elements. We analyze the weak formulation of such problems, including their well-posedness and…

We review the domain wall charm physics program of the RBC and UKQCD collaborations based on simulations including ensembles with physical pion mass. We summarise our current set-up and present a status update on the decay constants $f_D$,…

In this work, we calculate the matrix elements of $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay of $^{150}$Nd with the deformed pn-QRPA method. We adopted the approach introduced by Rodin, Faessler [Phys. Rev. C84, 014322 (2011)] and Simkovic {\it et. al.} [Phys.…

The decay of a heavy neutral scalar particle into fermions and into charged scalars are analyzed when in the presence of an external magnetic field and finite temperature. Working in the one-loop approximation for the study of these decay…

We present preliminary results of a new lattice computation of hadronic matrix elements of baryon number violating operators which appear in the low-energy effective Lagrangian of (SUSY-)Grand Unified Theories. The contribution of…

This paper studies the decay of a large, closed domain wall in a closed universe. Such walls can form in the presence of a broken, discrete symmetry. We study a novel process of quantum decay for such a wall, in which the vacuum fluctuates…
