Cross-Section Fluctuations in Chaotic Scattering

B. Dietz, H. L. Harney, A. Richter +2

For the theoretical prediction of cross-section fluctuations in chaotic scattering, the cross-section autocorrelation function is needed. That function is not known analytically. U…

On Non-Unitary Lepton Mixing and Neutrino Mass Observables

Werner Rodejohann

There are three observables related to neutrino mass, namely the kinematic mass in direct searches, the effective mass in neutrino-less double beta decay, and the sum of neutrino m…

keV sterile neutrino dark matter in gauge extensions of the standard model

F. Bezrukov, H. Hettmansperger, M. Lindner

It is known that a keV scale sterile neutrino is a good warm dark matter candidate. We study how this possibility could be realized in the context of gauge extensions of the standa…

Global interpretation of direct Dark Matter searches after CDMS-II results

Joachim Kopp, Thomas Schwetz, Jure Zupan

We perform a global fit to data from Dark Matter (DM) direct detection experiments, including the recent CDMS-II results. We discuss possible interpretations of the DAMA annual mod…

Photoproduction of meson pairs: First measurement of the polarization observable I^s

E. Gutz, V. Sokhoyan, H. van Pee +64

The polarization observable I^s, a feature exclusive to the acoplanar kinematics of multi-meson final states produced via linearly polarized photons, has been measured for the firs…

GIMPs from Extra Dimensions

Martin Holthausen, Ryo Takahashi

We study a scalar field theory in a flat five-dimensional setup, where a scalar field lives in a bulk with a Dirichlet boundary condition, and give an implementation of this setup…

QED corrections of order alpha (Zalpha)^2 E_F to the hyperfine splitting of P_1/2 and P_3/2 states in hydrogenlike ions

U. D. Jentschura, V. A. Yerokhin

The hyperfine structure (HFS) of a bound electron is modified by the self-interaction of the electron with its own radiation field. This effect is known as the self-energy correcti…

Self-energy correction to the hyperfine splitting and the electron g factor in hydrogen-like ions

Vladimir A. Yerokhin, Ulrich D. Jentschura

The hyperfine structure (hfs) and the g factor of a bound electron are caused by external magnetic fields. For the hfs, the magnetic field is due to the nuclear spin. A uniform-in-…

Correlated two-photon emission by transitions of Dirac-Volkov states in intense laser fields: QED predictions

E. Lötstedt, U. D. Jentschura

In an intense laser field, an electron may decay by emitting a pair of photons. The two photons emitted during the process, which can be interpreted as a laser-dressed double Compt…
