The Universe out of an Elementary Particle? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We consider a model of an elementary particle as a 2 + 1 dimensional brane evolving in a 3 + 1 dimensional space. Introducing gauge fields that live in the brane as well as normal surface tension can lead to a stable "elementary particle" configuration ...

Pitfalls in the teaching of elementary particle physics [PDF]

open access: yesThe Physical Educator, 2018
Elementary particle physics is gradually implemented into science curricula at the high school level. However, common presentations on educational, semi-technical or popular level contain or support severe misconceptions.

What Is an Elementary Particle?

open access: yesInterpreting Bodies, 2020
Atomism in its latest form is called quantum mechanics. It has extended its range to comprise, besides ordinary matter, all kinds of radiation, including light—in brief, all forms of energy, ordinary matter being one of them.

Kerr black holes as elementary particles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Long ago, Newman and Janis showed that a complex deformation z → z + ia of the Schwarzschild solution produces the Kerr solution. The underlying explanation for this relationship has remained obscure.

Continuum naturalness

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We present a novel class of composite Higgs models in which the top and gauge partners responsible for cutting off the Higgs quadratic divergences form a continuum.

Bound-state/elementary-particle duality in the Higgs sector and the case for an excited 'Higgs' within the standard model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Though being weakly interacting, QED can support bound states. In principle, this can be expected for the weak interactions in the Higgs sector as well.

Clockwork neutrinos

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Clockwork (CW) mechanism can explain the smallness of neutrino masses without introducing unnaturally small input parameters. In this paper we study the simplest CW neutrino model, the “uniform” clockwork, as well as a broader class of “generalized ...

CASCADE3 A Monte Carlo event generator based on TMDs

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
The Cascade3 Monte Carlo event generator based on Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton densities is described. Hard processes which are generated in collinear factorization with LO multileg or NLO parton level generators are extended by adding ...

Forbidden conformal dark matter at a GeV

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We introduce a model of dark matter (DM) where the DM is a composite of a spontaneously broken conformal field theory. The DM is a thermal relic with its abundance determined by the freeze-out of annihilations to dilatons, the Goldstone boson of broken ...

Lorentzian Goldstone modes shared among photons and gravitons

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
It has long been known that photons and gravitons may appear as vector and tensor Goldstone modes caused by spontaneous Lorentz invariance violation (SLIV). Usually this approach is considered for photons and gravitons separately. We develop the emergent
