On the simplicity of numbers
Peter Minkowski
The recent measurements of reactor antinu_{e} disappearance and its interpretation in terms of the three light neutrino mixing angle {theta}_13 by the DAYA BAY \rightarrow {theta}_…
Glueballs from gluon jets at the LHC
Wolfgang Ochs, Peter Minkowski
The existence of glueballs within QCD is uncontroversial but their experimental verification is still in doubt. We discuss the new possibilities for a search of glueballs as the le…
On concise hypotheses for the interpretation of a wide scalar resonance as gauge boson binary in QCD - some new analyses
Peter Minkowski
This work aims to give some answers to questions raised at QCD2008 in Montpellier, July 2008.
Dark consequences from light neutrino condensations
Raul Horvat, Peter Minkowski, Josip Trampetic
In this paper we discuss light neutrino dipole moments, computed in the neutrino-mass extended standard model (SM), as a possible source for neutrino condensates which may cause co…
Can the gamma-gamma processes reveal the nature of the sigma ?
G. Mennessier, P. Minkowski, S. Narison +1
We reanalyse the gamma-gamma scattering data and conclude that in the mass region below 1 GeV the cross section for gamma-gamma to pi^0-pi^0 can be largely explained by the one pio…
Scalar Mesons in B-decays
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
We summarize some persistent problems in scalar spectroscopy and discuss what could be learned here from charmless B-decays. Recent experimental results are discussed in comparison…
Central hadron production in crossing of dedicated hadronic beams
Peter Minkowski
The original aim of this work, was to give a {\it brief} review of gluonic mesons, to be searched for in an experiment dedicated to central production of a relatively low mass hadr…
B decays into light scalar particles and glueball
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
The recent observations of f_0(980) in charmless B-decays motivate further studies of scalar particle and glueball production in these processes. Amplitudes for charmless 2-body B…
Gluonic Meson Production
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
The existence of glueballs is predicted in QCD, the lightest one with quantum numbers J^{PC}=0^{++}, but different calculations do not well agree on its mass in the range below 180…
Scalar mesons and glueball in B-decays and gluon jets
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
We discuss the recent observation of f_0(980) in charmless B-decays and in gluon jets which hints toward a gluonic coupling of this meson similar to eta'. Further predictions on B-…
Absorption of solar radiation by solar neutrinos
G. Duplancic, P. Minkowski, J. Trampetic
We calculate the absorption probability of photons radiated from the surface of the Sun by a left-handed neutrino with definite mass and a typical momentum for which we choose |p_1…
On the scalar nonet lowest in mass
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
The hypothesis that there exists a nonet of scalars mainly composed of a valence quark-antiquark pair and mixed according to near singlet-octet separation : f_0 (980) singlet, a_0^…
Elastic Scattering of Neutrinos off Polarized Electrons
P. Minkowski, M. Passera
We calculate the cross sections for elastic nu_l + e -> nu_l + e and antinu_l + e -> antinu_l + e scattering (l=e, mu or tau) in the Born approximation and with exactly fixed polar…

R. -D. Heuer, D. J. Miller, F. Richard +236
The TESLA Technical Design Report Part III: Physics at an e+e- Linear Collider
On simple and subtle properties of neutrinos
P. Minkowski
Neutrino flavors, light and heavy, are discussed in their interdependence within the minimal unifying gauge group of SO10. The general situation which excludes the existence of an…
On the quest for unification - simplicity and antisimplicity
Peter Minkowski
The road towards unification of elementary interactions is thought to start on the solid ground of a universal local gauge principle. I discuss the different types of bosonic gauge…
Search for Gluonic Mesons in Gluon Jets
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
We present a short survey of the theoretical expectations on glueballs and hybrids as well as of the present phenomenological status. The possibility to obtain new information on g…
Hadronization of quark gluon plasma (and gluon jets) and the role of the 0++ glueball as primary hadron products
Peter Minkowski, Sonja Kabana, Wolfgang Ochs
Signatures of dominant and central production of glueballs (binary gluonic mesons) in heavy ion and hadromic collisions are discussed. Search strategies are proposed.
Spontaneous susy breaking in N=2 super Yang-Mills theories
Luzi Bergamin, Peter Minkowski
It is shown that the same essentially non-semiclassical mechanism, which generates in the nonsupersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory the binary condensate of gauge field strengths, i…
Mapping out the QCD phase transition in multiparticle production
Sonja Kabana, Peter Minkowski
We analyze multiparticle production in a thermal framework for 7 central nucleus nucleus collisions, + annihilation into hadrons on the Z resonance and 4 hadronic reacti…
Gluon Fragmentation into Glueballs and Hybrid Mesons
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
The constituent nature of candidate gluonic mesons can be studied by comparing their production in quark and gluon jets. The production rate for such mesons depends on the colour c…
Glueball production in hadron and nucleus collisions
S. Kabana, P. Minkowski
The present discussion focusses on the dominant production of the 0++ glueball in central collisions in the suppressed yet observable channel 0++ --> pi+ pi- l+ l-.
The J^PC = 0^++ scalar meson nonet and glueball of lowest mass
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
The evidence for the low mass J^{PC}=0^{++} states is reconsidered. We suggest classifying the isoscalars f_0(980) and f_0(1500) as members of the 0^{++} nonet, with a mixing rathe…
Identification of the glueballs and the scalar meson nonet of lowest mass
Peter Minkowski, Wolfgang Ochs
We discuss the theoretical expectations and phenomenological evidence for the lightest glueballs and the members of the meson nonet with quantum numbers J^PC=0^{++}. We reconsider…
