Two-Loop Bethe Logarithms for non-S Levels

U. D. Jentschura

Two-loop Bethe logarithms are calculated for excited P and D states in hydrogenlike systems, and estimates are presented for all states with higher angular momenta. These results c…

Forced oscillations in relativistic accretion disks and QPOs

J. Petri

In this work we explore the idea that the high frequency QPOs observed in LMXBs may be explained as a resonant coupling between the neutron star spin and epicyclic modes of accreti…

Corrections to Tri-bimaximal Neutrino Mixing: Renormalization and Planck Scale Effects

Amol Dighe, Srubabati Goswami, Werner Rodejohann

We study corrections to tri-bimaximal (TBM) neutrino mixing from renormalization group (RG) running and from Planck scale effects. We show that while the RG effects are negligible…
