We investigate the decay of bosonic dark matter with masses between 1 MeV and 2 TeV into Standard Model final states. We specifically focus on dark photons that kinetically mix with the Standard Model, as well as scalar dark matter models…
We study the production of antineutrinos from the solar neutrinos due the Majorana neutrino decays of neutrino to antineutrino. Using the antineutrino spectra from KamLAND and Borexino, we present newest limits on the lifetime of $\nu_{3}$…
The real time exponential decay laws for meta-stable charged particles are shown to require radiative corrections. The methods employed are well known to be valid for radiatively correcting Breit-Wigner line shapes. Radiative corrections…
We have searched for nucleon decay into five two-body final states using a 4.4 kiloton-year fiducial exposure of the Soudan 2 iron tracking calorimeter. For proton decay into the fully visible final states mu+ eta and e+ eta, we observe…
The explanation of various observed phenomena such as large angle neutrino oscillations, hierarchies of charged fermion masses and CKM mixings, and apparent baryon number conservation may have a common origin. We show how this could occur…
We investigate the possibility of indirectly constraining the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\tau^+\tau^-$ decay rate using precise data on the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\mu^+\mu^-$ dimuon spectrum. To this end, we estimate the distortion of the spectrum induced by…
A study of the decay $D^{0}\rightarrow K^{-}\pi^{+}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ is performed using data collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0…
Existing limits on the non-radiative decay of one neutrino to another plus a massless particle (e.g., a singlet Majoron) are very weak. The best limits on the lifetime to mass ratio come from solar neutrino observations, and are $\tau/m…
We describe the spectra and decays of pi pi and pi K atoms within a non-relativistic effective field theory. The evaluations of the energy shifts and widths are performed at next-to-leading order in isospin symmetry breaking. The prediction…
True muonium ($\mu^+\mu^-$) is the heaviest and smallest bound state not involving quantum chromodynamics, after true tauonium ($\tau^+\tau^-$) and mu-tauonium ($\mu^\pm\tau^\mp$). Unlike atoms containing $\tau$ particles, the muon lifetime…
We reconstruct the decays B -> K(*) mu+ mu- and measure their angular distributions in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96TeV using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.8fb-1. The transverse polarization asymmetry AT(2)…
Total energies and various bound state properties are determined for the ground states in all six four-body muonic $a^{+} b^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-}$ quasi-atoms. These quasi-atoms contain two nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes $p^{+}, d^{+}, t^{+}$,…
Observations of H2 spectra in the line-of-sight of distant quasars may reveal a variation of the proton-electron mass ratio mu=m_p/m_e at high redshift, typically for z>2. Currently four high-quality systems (Q0347-383, Q0405-443, Q0528-250…
We investigate a scenario in which neutrinos are coupled to a pseudoscalar degree of freedom $\ph$ and where decays $\nu_1 \to \nu_2+\ph$ and inverse decays are the responsible mechanism for obtaining equilibrium. In this context we discuss…
We compute the dominant, logarithmically enhanced radiative corrections to the electron spectrum in the bound muon decay in the whole experimentally interesting range. The corrected spectrum fits well the TWIST results. The remaining…
If, as recently reported by the Super-Kamiokande collaboration, the neutrinos are massive, the heaviest one would not be stable and, though chargeless, could in particular decay into a lighter neutrino and a photon by quantum loop effects.…
Radiative corrections in the order ${\alpha\over{2\pi}}{{m^2_e}\over m^2_\mu}$ to $\mu $- and ${\alpha\over{2\pi}}{{m^2_\mu}\over m^2_\tau}$ to $\tau $- decays are calculated. The decay width is enhanced by $4.48\cdot 10^{-3}…
Bound electron pairs (BEPs) arising due to peculiarities of the band structure of topologically nontrivial materials are of interest as charge and spin carriers with energies in the band gap. Moreover, being composite bosons, BEPs can also…
Highly excited C$_2{}^{-}$ ions prominently feature electron detachment at a mean decay time near 3 milliseconds with hitherto unexplained origin. Considering various sources of unimolecular decay, we attribute the signal to the electronic…
An improved generator for continuous unitary transformations is introduced to describe systems with unstable quasiparticles. Its general properties are derived and discussed. To illustrate this approach we investigate the asymmetric…
