The school aims at equipping PhD students in the field of astrophysical tests of fundamental physics with theoretical, phenomenological and numerical tools at the forefront of their field of research.

We describe a model for the π − p → π + π − n reaction that contains one-point, two-point and three-point diagrams with nucleons or deltas in intermediate states. The pieces with N * which do not ...

The two-step cascade method previously used in neutron capture experiments is now applied to a proton capture reaction. The spectrum of two-step cascades populating the first 2+ level of 60Ni has been ...

(Translated from the Russian abstract of the first edition): For the first time in the world literature, the theory of vacuum quantum effects in external electromagnetic and gravitational fields is ...

We have searched for the lepton-flavor-violating decay D0→e±μ∓ in 204 pb−1 of e+e− annihilation data at Ec.m.=29 GeV from the Mark II detector. No candidates were found; we estimate an upper limit on ...

We study N=∞ lattice gauge theory at finite temperature by Monte Carlo methods using an asymmetric coupling version of the twisted Equchi-Kawai model. The data favor a first-order deconfining ...

We consider the three-dimensional Dirac equation in spherical coordinates with coupling to static electromagnetic potential. The space components of the potential have angular (non-central) dependence ...

For a particle of I‐spin I in an SU2 monopole field in five‐dimensional Euclidean space, the monopole harmonics are found. They belong to the irreducible representation (p,q)5 where p =q+2I. They form ...

If high energy heavy ion collisions lead to the formation of a hot quark-gluon plasma, then colour screening prevents cc binding in the deconfined interior of the interaction region. To study this ...
