Some Aspects of New CDM Models and CDM Detection Methods
Shmuel Nussinov
We briefly review some recent Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models. Our main focus are charge symmetric models of WIMPs which are not the standard SUSY LSP's (Lightest Supersymmetric Part…
Estimate of the Branching Fraction of tau --> pi eta' nu_tau
Shmuel Nussinov, Abner Soffer
We calculate the expected branching fraction of the second-class-current decay tau --> pi eta' nu, motivated by a a recent experimental upper-limit determination of this quantity.…
Some Aspects of Classical and Quantum Phases
Yakir Aharonov, Tirzah Kaufherr, Shmuel Nussinov
We study classical and quantum phases in the adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer context. These include a classical astronomical case, the general dual description of the phases, a new "Par…
Gluon-Glueball Duality and Glueball Searches
Shmuel Nussinov, Robert Shrock
We discuss a notion of gluon-glueball duality analogous to quark-hadron duality. We apply this idea to the radiative decay of heavy orthoquarkonium, , which has b…
Capture of Inelastic Dark Matter in the Sun
Shmuel Nussinov, Lian-Tao Wang, Itay Yavin
We consider the capture of dark matter in the Sun by inelastic scattering against nuclei as in the inelastic dark matter scenario. We show that, assuming a WIMP-nucleon cross-secti…
