Stichel, P., & Zakrzewski, W. (2013). Nonstandard approach to gravity for the dark sector of the Universe

We summarize the present state of research on the darkon fluid as a model for the dark sector of the Universe. Nonrelativistic massless particles are introduced as a realization of the Galilei group in an enlarged phase space. The additional degrees...

Quantum systems with multiple degenerate classical harmonic minima exhibit new non-perturbative phenomena which are not present for the double-well and periodic potentials. The simplest characteristic example of this family is the triple-well potenti... Read More about Bions and Instantons in Triple-well and Multi-well Potentials.

We study the case when the triple-Pomeron vertex is assumed to have a vectorial form, that is, the amplitude of high-mass diffractive dissociation vanishes as as . We find that the available data in the triple-Reggeon region may be well described in... Read More about Weak coupling of pomerons and the triple-Regge analysis..

If the Milky Way’s DM halo is composed of WIMPs, then the WIMP flux on the Earth is of the order of 105(100 GeV/mχ)cm−2 s−1. This flux is suf- ficiently large that, even though the WIMPs are weakly interacting, a small but potentially measurable frac... Read More about Direct detection of WIMPs.
