Hitherto unknown elementary particles can be searched for with atomic spectroscopy. We conduct such a search using a potential that results from the longitudinal polarization of a pseudovector particle. We show that such a potential,…

The wave mechanics of two impenetrable hard core particles in 1-D box is analyzed. Each particle in the box behaves like an independent entity represented by a {\it macro-orbital} (a kind of pair waveform). While the expectation value of…

The helicity of a free massless relativistic particle, $\chi^o={\bf s}.{\bf p}/|{\bf p}|$, is generalized, for a particle in an electromagnetic field, to $\chi={\bf s}.{\bf p}/{\cal E}$, where ${\cal E}$ is the modified kinetic energy. Both…

All known elementary vector particles, the photon, Z, W and the gluons, are described by the gauge theory. They belong to the real representation (1/2,1/2) of the Lorentz group. On the other hand inequivalent representations (1,0) and (0,1)…

We derive the non-relativistic limit of a massive vector field. We show that the Cartesian spatial components of the vector behave as three identical, non-interacting scalar fields. We find classes of spherical, cylindrical, and planar…

The gravitational deflection of massless and massive particles, both with and without spin, has been extensively studied. This paper discusses the lensing of a particle which oscillates between two interaction eigenstates. The deflection…

The helicity operator of massless particles has only two polarisations like it takes place for photons and gravitons. For them not all of the 2s+1 spin magnetic quantum states exist, with two exceptions, and the spin operator ceases to be…

We argue that all fermionic states characterized by the (four) velocity not momentum of the fermion are always occupied by a single fermion. So there is no fermion number violation whatsoever. The mass of an elementary particle is not…

Motivated by evidence for the existence of dark matter, many new physics models predict the pair production of new particles, followed by the decays into two invisible particles, leading to a momentum imbalance in the visible system. For…

Particle physics candidates for cosmological dark matter are usually considered as neutral and weakly interacting. However stable charged leptons and quarks can also exist and, hidden in elusive atoms, play the role of dark matter. The…

Zitterbewegung of massless particles with an arbitrary spin is analyzed in various representations. Dynamics of the group velocity of a massless particle as a whole and of the corresponding radius vector is determined. This radius vector…

The (pseudo-)spin degrees of freedom greatly enriches the physics of cold atoms. This is particularly so for systems with high spins (i.e., spin quantum number larger than 1/2). For example, one can construct not only the rank-1 spin…

Many methods have been developed for measuring the mass of invisible particles that only use kinematic information available at hadron colliders. Because a particle is identified by its mass, these methods are critical when distinguishing…

The spinor-helicity representations of massive and (partially-)massless particles in four dimensional (Anti-) de Sitter spacetime are studied within the framework of the dual pair correspondence. We show that the dual groups (aka "little…

We show that a self-consistent classical theory of the spin, based on a very general Lagrangian extending the Newtonian dynamics, does predict the special case of helicity-0 particles, which at the same time are endowed with nonzero spin…

The axial-vector couplings of the internediate bosons with fermions lead to the prediction of three very heavy spin-0 states in the SM, whose masses are about 10^{14}GeV. If these states on mass shell there are problems of negative…

Some data on the ratio of vector to vector + pseudoscalar mesons, V/(V+P), and the probability of helicity zero vector states, rho_00, are now available from LEP. A possible relation between these two quantities and their interpretation in…

Scattering of 2 particles of spin 0 and 1/2 is evaluated based on a basis constructed from the momentum and the helicity states (the momentum-helicity basis). This shortly called three-dimensional (3D) technique is a good alternative to the…

We analyze the physics of massive spin 2 fields in (A)dS backgrounds and exhibit that: The theory is stable only for masses m^2 >= 2\Lambda/3, where the conserved energy associated with the background timelike Killing vector is positive,…

We calculate the uncertainties in the position and momentum of a particle in the 1D potential V(x)=F|x|, F>0, when the position and momentum operators obey the deformed commutation relation [x,p]=i\hbar(1+\beta p^2), \beta>0. As in the…
