From Higgs to pions and Back -- the Unbearable Lightness of a Composite Scalar Boson at 125 GeV in Purely Vectorial Theories
Shmuel Nussinov
We argue that the "Higgs" particle is unlikely to arise as a fermion- antifermion composite if the underlying dynamics is a vectorial gauge theory. The reason is that the…
Possible Implications of Asymmetric Fermionic Dark Matter for Neutron Stars
I. Goldman, R. N. Mohapatra, S. Nussinov +2
We consider the implications of fermionic asymmetric dark matter for a "mixed neutron star" composed of ordinary baryons and dark fermions. We find examples, where for a certain ra…
The classical limit of quantum optics: not what it seems at first sight
Yakir Aharonov, Alonso Botero, Shmuel Nussinov +3
What is light and how to describe it has always been a central subject in physics. As our understanding has increased, so have our theories changed: Geometrical optics, wave optics…
The doubly heavies: (Qbar Q qbar q), (Q Q qbar qbar) tetraquarks and (Q Q q) baryons
Marek Karliner, Shmuel Nussinov
Recent discoveries by Belle and BESIII of charged exotic quarkonium-like resonances provide fresh impetus for study of heavy exotic hadrons. In the limit N_c --> infinity, M_Q -->…
Peculiar Features of Entangled States with Post-Selection
Yakir Aharonov, Shmuel Nussinov, Sandu Popescu +1
We consider quantum systems in entangled states post-selected in non-entangled states. Such systems exhibit unusual behavior, in particular when weak measurements are performed at…
