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.

Partial wave dispersion relations in a new formulation and fixed-s dispersion relations are used to calculate the long range contributions to the real parts of πN amplitudes. Recent results from a ...

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 ...

The WIMP limit set by the Xenon10 experiment in 2007 signals a new era in direct detection of dark matter, with several large-scale liquid target detectors now under construction. A major challenge in ...

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 ...
