Hints for the existence of hexaquark states in the baryon-antibaryon sector

Mario Abud, Franco Buccella, Francesco Tramontano

The discovery of some baryon-antibaryon resonances has led us to consider 3q~3\bar{q} systems as possible candidates. We predict their spectrum in the framework of a constituent mo…

Moyal and tomographic probability representations for f-oscillator quantum states

Vladimir I. Man'ko, Giuseppe Marmo, Francesco Zaccaria

States of nonlinear quantum oscillators (f-oscillators) are considered in the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal representation and the tomographic probability representation, where the states are…

Star-product in the presence of a monopole

J. F. Carinena, J. M. Gracia-Bondia, Fedele Lizzi +2

We present a deformed star-product for a particle in the presence of a magnetic monopole. The product is obtained within a self-dual quantization-dequantization scheme, with the co…

Axially symmetric solutions in f(R)-gravity

Salvatore Capozziello, Mariafelicia De Laurentis, Arturo Stabile

Axially symmetric solutions for f (R)-gravity can be derived starting from exact spherically sym- metric solutions achieved by Noether symmetries. The method takes advantage of a c…

On the Evaluation of Gluon Condensate Effects in the Holographic Approach to QCD

Luigi Cappiello, Giancarlo D'Ambrosio

In holographic QCD the effects of gluonic condensate can be encoded in a suitable deformation of the 5D metric. We develop two different methods for the evaluation of first order p…

Determining alpha_s from the hyperfine splitting mUpsilon(1S)-mEta(b)

Pietro Colangelo, Pietro Santorelli, Egidio Scrimieri

The measurement of the eta_b mass, together with a QCD result for the hyperfine splitting E_{HFS}=M_{Upsilon(1S)}-M_{eta_b}, allows us to determine the strong coupling constant alp…

Curing the UV/IR mixing for field theories with translation-invariant products

Adrian Tanasa, Patrizia Vitale

The ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) mixing of noncommutative field theories has been recently shown to be a generic feature of translation- invariant associative products. In this pap…

Constraints on neutrino -- dark matter interactions from cosmic microwave background and large scale structure data

P. Serra, F. Zalamea, A. Cooray +2

We update a previous investigation of cosmological effects of a non-standard interaction between neutrinos and dark matter. Parameterizing the elastic-scattering cross section betw…

Neutrino phenomenology and unparticle physics

J. Barranco, A. Bolanos, O. G. Miranda +2

We show how neutrino data can be used in order to constrain the free parameters of possible extensions to the standard model of elementary particles (SM). For definiteness, we focu…

Massive, massless and ghost modes of gravitational waves from higher-order gravity

Charalampos Bogdanos, Salvatore Capozziello, Mariafelicia De Laurentis +1

We linearize the field equations for higher order theories that contain scalar invariants other than the Ricci scalar. We find that besides a massless spin-2 field (the standard gr…
