Collapse of Coulomb Bound States of Vector Bosons
V. V. Flambaum, H. B. Tran Tan
Charged spin 1 (vector) particles behave very differently from electrons or scalars in a Coulomb field. For an infinitely heavy point-like nucleus their bound state wave functions…
Parity Nonconservation in Rb and Sr due to Low-Mass Vector Boson
V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum, G. K. Vong
We calculate the parity non-conserving (PNC) electric-dipole () transition amplitudes for the and transitions in Rb and Sr. Our results include bo…
Oscillations of dark matter halos in galaxies and their effects on motion of stars
V. V. Flambaum, I. B. Samsonov
Matter and dark matter in galaxies represent two main components linked by the gravitational interaction. Collisions of galaxies may create an offset between the centers of mass of…
Hf ion: Highly Charged Ion for Next-Generation Atomic Clocks and Tests of Fundamental Physics
Saleh O. Allehabi, V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum
We use advanced computational techniques to study the electronic structure of the Hf ion, with the goal of assessing its potential for use in highly accurate atomic optical…
Enhancement of Weak Interactions in Phase Transitions in Condensed Matter and Early Universe
V. V. Flambaum
Parity-violating weak interactions produce extremely small energy differences between left- and right-handed chiral systems. We show that these microscopic effects may be strongly…
Constraints on the Variation of the QCD Interaction Scale
V. V. Flambaum, A. J. Mansour
Laboratory and astrophysical tests of ''constant variation'' have so far concentrated on the dimensionless fine-structure constant and on the electron or quark mass ratios $X_{…
