Covariant density functional theory for decay of deformed proton emitters: A self-consistent approach
Abstract Proton radioactivity from deformed nuclei is described for the first time by a self-consistent calculation based on covariant relativistic density functionals derived from meson exchange and point coupling models. The calculation provides...

Logarithmic corrections to gravitational entropy and the null energy condition
Abstract Using a relation between the thermodynamics of local horizons and the null energy condition, we consider the effects of quantum corrections to the gravitational entropy. In particular, we find that the geometric form of the null energy...

Constraining right-handed neutrinos
Abstract Several models of neutrino masses predict the existence of neutral heavy leptons. Here, we review current constraints on heavy neutrinos and apply a new formalism separating new physics from Standard Model. We discuss also the indirect...

Measurement of Jet Production Properties in pp Collisions with the ATLAS Detector
Abstract Several aspects of the jet production in pp collisions have been measured by the ATLAS collaboration using data collected at the LHC. The measurements of the production cross sections of inclusive, di- and three-jet events probe the...

Measurements of mixing and CP violation in two body charm decays
Abstract Two-body charm decays provide an intriguing avenue of exploration in the search for new sources of CP violation. Four recent results concerning this subject from LHCb analyses of data collected in 2011 and 2012 are presented; all are...

Two-gluon exchange contribution to elastic γγ→γγ scattering and production of two-photons in ultraperipheral ultrarelativistic heavy ion and proton–proton collisions
Abstract We discuss the two-gluon exchange contribution (formally three-loops) to elastic photon–photon scattering in the high-energy approximation. The elastic γ γ → ...

Threshold enhancement of diphoton resonances
Abstract We revisit a mechanism to enhance the decay width of (pseudo-)scalar resonances to photon pairs when the process is mediated by loops of charged fermions produced near threshold. Motivated by the recent LHC data, indicating the presence of...

A note on Weyl invariance in gravity and the Wess–Zumino functional
Abstract It is shown that the explicit calculation of the Wess–Zumino functional pertaining to the breaking term of the Weyl symmetry for the Einstein–Hilbert action allows to restore the Weyl symmetry by introducing the extra dilaton field as...
