We study the non-relativistic behavior of a particle with electric dipole moment and interacting with external electromagnetic fields on a noncommutative space (NCS). For a special configuration of the field, the phase of an electric dipole is derived as an application of the Aharonov-Bohm effect to a system composed of two charges. We find that the quantum phase for an electric dipole obtains ...

We consider the secular dynamics of a binary and a planet in terms of non-restricted, hierarchical three-body problem, including the general relativity corrections to the Newtonian gravity. We determine regions in the parameter space where the relativistic corrections may be important for the long-term dynamics. We try to constrain the inclinations of putative Jovian planets in recently announc...

We investigate the relativistic corrections to the static potential, i.e. the O(1/m) potential and the O(1/m2) velocity-dependent potentials, in SU(3) lattice gauge theory. They are important ingredients of potential nonrelativistic QCD for heavy quarkonium. Utilizing the multi-level algorithm, we obtain remarkably clean signals of these potentials up to r = 0.9 fm. We observe long range nonper...

Relativistic exchange current corrections to neutrino–nucleus cross sections are presented assuming non–vanishing strange quark form factors for the constituent nucleons. For charged current processes the exchange current corrections can lower the impulse approximation results by 10% while these corrections are found to be sensitive to both the nuclear density and the strange quark axial form f...

Nuclear-size corrections of order (Zα)5 and (Zα)6 to the S-state levels of hydrogenic atoms are considered. These nuclear-elastic contributions are somewhat smaller than the polarizability (nuclear-inelastic) corrections for deuterium, but are of comparable or larger size for the hydrogen case. For deuterium the (attractive) nonrelativistic (Zα)5 correction to the 2S-1S transition is −0.49 kHz,...
