The decay of elementary particles is described nonrelativistically and using the method of the special theory of relativity. Then the Tsiolkovskii rocket equation is applied to the one photon decay of the excited nucleus of the Mössbauer effect. The formation time of photons during decay is supposed nonzero. The Meščerskii equation is possible to identify with the bremsstrahlung equation. All d...

We study the interplay of supersymmetry and certain non-compact invariance groups in extended supergravity theories (ESGTs). We use the N = 4 ESGT . to demonstrate that these symmetries do not commute and exhibit the infinite dimensional superinvariance algebra generated by them in the rigid limit. Using this result, we look for unitary representations of the full algebra. We discuss the implic...

We consider the possibility of constraining decaying dark matter by looking out through the Milky Way halo. Specifically we use Chandra blank sky observations to constrain the parameter space of sterile neutrinos. We find that a broad band in parameter space is still open, leaving the sterile neutrino as an excellent dark matter candidate. Subject headings: dark matter — elementary particles — ...

Using concepts of physics of elementary particles concerning the breaking of symmetry and grannd unified theory we propose to study with the algebraic approximation the degeneracy finded in the genetic code with the incorporation of a horizontal symmetry used in gauge theories to fit the contents of the multiplets of the genetic code. It is used the algebraic approch of Hornos et. al. [1, 2, 3,...

With high energy heavy ion collisions one tries to create a new forms of matter that is similar to the one present at the birth of our Universe. Recent development on flow pattern, initial energy-density and freeze-out temperature shows that most likely this new form of matter is in a deconfined state, has colored degrees of freedom and is more fluid-like than gas-like. In present paper we calc...

Extensions of the Standard Model of elementary particle physics to noncommutative geometries have been proposed as a low energy limit of string models. Independent of this motivation, one may consider such a model as an effective field theory with higher-dimensional operators containing an antisymmetric rank-two background field. We study the signals of such a Noncommutative Standard Model (NCS...

We re-examine the sensitivity of solar neutrino oscillations to noise in the solar interior using the best current estimates of neutrino properties. Our results show that the measurement of neutrino properties at KamLAND provides new information about fluctuations in the solar environment on scales to which standard helioseismic constraints are largely insensitive. We also show how the determin...

Using the interquark potential we obtain a formula for the mass spectrum of elementary particles. The simple formula gives the masses of all known elementary particles with an error of about three percent or less. This includes the recently discovered Ds(2317) and 1.5GeV Pentaquark particles. One of the problems that has eluded a solution is that of a mass spectrum for elementary particles. Suc...

During the past one hundred years three related elementary particles– the electron, the muon, and the tau–were discovered by very different scientific techniques. The author, who received the Wolf Prize and the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the tau, uses this history to discuss certainty and uncertainty in the practice of science. While the emphasis is on the practice of scientific research,...

A good case can be made for believing that there is a substantial amount of nonbaryonic dark matter in the universe, most likely composed of an as-yet-undiscovered elementary particle. The various candidates for this particle, both front runners and dark horses, are reviewed. Supported by NSF Grant PHY{91{16964.
