A simple methodology is suggested for the efficient calculation of certain central potentials having singularities. The generalized pseudospectral method used in this work facilitates {\em nonuniform} and optimal spatial discretization.…
We have carried out a direct search in bulk matter for free fractional electric charge elementary particles using the largest mass single sample ever studied - about 17.4 mg of silicone oil. The search used an improved and highly automated…
We derive an upper estimate for electronic density $\rho_\Psi (x)$ in heavy atoms and molecules. While not sharp, on the distances $\gtrsim Z^{-1}$ from the nuclei it is still better than the known estimate $CZ^3$ ($Z$ is the total charge…
We propose possible properties of quantum gravity in de Sitter space, and find that they relate the value of the cosmological constant to parameters of the Standard Model. In de Sitter space we suggest (i) that the most sharply defined…
The extensions of the Standard Model based on the $SU(3)_{C} \otimes SU(3)_{L} \otimes U(1)_{X}$ gauge group are known as 331 Models. Different properties such as the fermion assignment and the electric charges of the exotic spectrum, that…
Particles with electric charge q < 10^(-3)e and masses in the range 1--100 MeV/c^2 are not excluded by present experiments. An experiment uniquely suited to the production and detection of such "millicharged" particles has been carried out…
The strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(\mu)$ is extracted from the fits to charmonium spectrum and fine structure splittings. The relativistic kinematics is taken into account and relativistic corrections are shown to increase the matrix…
Recently, we derived an improved universal upper bound to the entropy of a charged system $S \leq \pi (2E b-q^2)/ \hbar$. There was, however, some uncertainty in the value of the numerical factor which multiplies the $q^2$ term. In this…
Charged dust particles form structures which are extended in the vertical direction in the electrode sheath of a rf discharge when confined within a glass box. The charge on each particle as a function of height varies due to the changing…
We study fluctuations of electric current in a quantum resistor and derive a general quantum-mechanical formula for the distribution of transmitted charge. For that we introduce a scheme of current measurement that involves a spin $1/2$…
A new model of nonlinear electrodynamics with dimensional parameters $\beta$ and $\gamma$ is proposed. The principles of causality and unitarity are studied. We show that a singularity of the electric field at the origin of charges is…
If photons had a small electric charge $Q_\gamma$ their path in the galactic magnetic field would be curved, leading to a time delay between photons of different frequency from a distant source. Cocconi's previous application of this…
The papers setting upper bounds on the value of electric charge of the photon are briefly reviewed. The theoretical framework of these bounds is shown to be incomplete. Hence the bounds seem to be unreliable.
The charging energy of a quantum dot is measured through the effect of its potential on the conductance of a second dot. This technique allows a measurement of the scaling of the dot's charging energy with the conductance of the tunnel…
The surface composition of charged Lennard-Jones clusters A$_N^{n+}$, composed of N particles (55 \leq N \leq 1169) among which n are positively charged with charge q, thus having a net total charge Q = nq, is investigated by Monte Carlo…
The charge of a polyelectrolyte (PE) controls myriads of phenomena in biology, biotechnology, and materials science, but still remains elusive from an understanding. Considering the adsorption of counterions on an isolated PE chain, an…
We find the electric field of a point charge in the presence of a higher dimensional black hole. As the charge is lowered to the horizon, all higher multipole moments go to zero, and only the Coulomb field remains.
We consider charge quantization in a small superconducting grain that is contacted by a normal-metal electrode and is controlled by a capacitively coupled gate. At zero temperature and zero conductance $G$ between the grain and the…
A localized charged particle oscillating near a reflecting boundary is considered as a model for non-cancellation of vacuum fluctuations. Although the mean velocity of the particle is sinusoidal, the velocity variance produced by vacuum…
Quantum fluctuations of the charge in the single electron box are investigated. Based on a diagrammatic expansion we calculate the average island charge number and the effective charging energy in third order in the tunneling conductance.…
