Neutrino spin oscillations in polarized matter

A. Grigoriev, E. Kupcheva, A. Ternov

We study the neutrino spin oscillations, i.e., neutrino spin precession caused by the neutrino interaction with matter polarized by external magnetic field (or, equivalently, by th…

Are there narrow flavor-exotic tetraquarks in large- QCD?

Wolfgang Lucha, Dmitri Melikhov, Hagop Sazdjian

A salient feature shared by all tetraquark candidates observed in experiment is the absence of flavor-exotic states of the type , with four different quark flavor…

Strong Isospin Breaking in Heavy-Meson Decay Constants: Employing Borelized QCD Sum Rules in Local-Duality Limit

Wolfgang Lucha, Dmitri Melikhov, Silvano Simula

Applying the QCD sum-rule machinery in the so-called local-duality shape to heavy-light mesons reveals that, as a consequence of the non-zero mass gap between up and down quarks, t…

Compact Exotic Tetraquark Mesons in Large- QCD

Wolfgang Lucha, Dmitri Melikhov, Hagop Sazdjian

We embark on systematic explorations of the behaviour of tetraquark mesons (colour-singlet bound states of two quarks and two antiquarks) in the (idealized) limit of a large number…

Interplay of the LHC and non-LHC Dark Matter searches in the Effective Field Theory approach

Alexander Belyaev, Enrico Bertuzzo, Cristian Caniu Barros +4

We present accurate and up-to-date constraints on the complete set of dimension five and six operators with scalar, fermion and vector Dark Matter (DM). We find limits using LHC mo…

Model independent top quark width measurement using a combination of resonant and non resonant cross sections

Alexey Baskakov, Eduard Boos, Lev Dudko

Though top quark was discovered more than twenty years ago, measurement of its width is still challenging task. Most measurements either have rather low precision or they are done…
