Origin of life: β-sheet amyloid conformers as the primordial functional polymers on the early Earth and their role in the emergence of complex dynamic networks. [PDF]
FEBS LettThe amyloid world hypothesis of the origin‐of‐life posits that the first functional polymers on the early Earth were structurally stable cross‐β‐sheet‐based peptide amyloids capable of Darwinian‐like evolution. Peptide amyloids display self‐replication and information transfer, as well as catalytic, adaptive, and evolutive properties.

The Curious Concept That Almost Nobody Seemed to Care About at First: Virtual Particles in the Post-War Period. [PDF]
Ber WissAbstract Short‐lived, unobservable, and not subject to the usual rules of conservation of energy and momentum, virtual particles—an integral part of the conceptual framework of quantum field theory (QFT)—exhibit a number of curious characteristics which, in recent decades, have in part fueled important discussions about their ontological status ...

Nuclear Physics B, 2020 We derive the conditions for matching high-energy renormalizable Quantum Field Theories onto low-energy nonrenormalizable ones by means of the FDR approach described in [1]. Our procedure works order-by-order in the loop expansion and avoids the addition

Top-quark electroweak interactions at high energy
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Modified interactions in the electroweak sector may lead to scattering amplitudes that grow with energy compared to their Standard Model (SM) counterparts.

Electroweak limits on physics beyond the Standard Mode
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We briefly review the global Standard Model fit to electroweak precision data, and discuss the status of electroweak constraints on new interactions. We follow a general effective Lagrangian approach to obtain modelindependent limits on the dimension-six

The Effective Description of Strong Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Communications, 2010 The actual mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking remains the last unsolved part of the Standard model of electroweak interactions. We review the general requirements that all possible solutions must fulfill.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 A novel mechanism, “catalyzed baryogenesis”, is proposed to explain the observed baryon asymmetry in our universe. In this mechanism, the motion of a ball-like catalyst provides the necessary out-of-equilibrium condition, its outer wall has CP-violating ...

Non-cancellation of electroweak logarithms in high-energy scattering
Physics Letters B, 2015 We study electroweak Sudakov corrections in high energy scattering, and the cancellation between real and virtual Sudakov corrections. Numerical results are given for the case of heavy quark production by gluon collisions involving the rates gg→tt¯,bb ...

The anomalous case of axion EFTs and massive chiral gauge fields
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study axion effective field theories (EFTs), with a focus on axion couplings to massive chiral gauge fields. We investigate the EFT interactions that participate in processes with an axion and two gauge bosons, and we show that, when massive chiral ...

Physical Review X, 2020 We carry out an ab initio calculation of the neutrino flux-folded inclusive cross sections measured on ^{12}C by the MiniBooNE and T2K Collaborations in the charged-current quasielastic regime. The calculation is based on realistic two- and three-nucleon
