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.

The search for the decay μ + → e + e + e − with the SINDRUM spectrometer has been continued. The result is a new upper limit for the branching ratio B μ→3 e = Γ(μ→3 e ) Γ(μ→ e 2ν) < 1.0 × 10 −12 (90% ...

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 ...

Probability distributions of the total transverse momenta (K⊥) of charged particles produced in hadronic jets in e+e− annihilations have been measured for center of mass energies in the range from 9.2 ...

Strong, electromagnetic, and weak forces are conjectured to arise from a single fundamental interaction based on the gauge group SU(5).

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 ...

Muon tomography, based on the measurement of multiple scattering of cosmic ray muons traversing a volume to be investigated, is an attractive technique for detecting hidden high-Z materials. A cosmic ...

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 ...

The electric dipole moment of the Λ hyperon has been measured to be dΛ=(−3.0±7.4)×10−17e cm.

The requirement that P and T be approximately conserved in the color gauge theory of strong interactions without arbitrary adjustment of parameters is analyzed. Several possibilities are identified, ...

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 ...
