Alphaviruses are a genus of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that infect mammals and are transmitted by mosquitos. These viruses can cause a wide range of diseases, from dengue-like symptoms (e.g., Chikungunya virus) to encephalitis (e.g., Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus). While … Read More

Hyperuniformity is an interesting measure of order which detects and quantifies long range positional correlations without requiring local crystalline order. This measure can be defined in real space, through scaling of fluctuations of the number of building blocks in asymptotically … Read More

By exploiting a mapping onto a kinetic Ising-like model we will illuminate the many-body effects underlying the structure, formation, and dissolution of cellular adhesion domains in the presence and absence of external forces. We will present analytical results on the … Read More

We introduce the CP violating scalar leptoquark S3 to explain the measured values of the lepton universality ratios RK(∗). We derive constraints on the CP-even and CP-odd components of the leptoquark Yukawa couplings stemming from effects in b → sμμ and Bs mixing. For the b → sμμ processes we impose RK(∗), B(Bs → μ+μ−), as well … Read More

Non-enveloped RNA viruses are composed of a genome protected by a protein shell called a capsid. At the beginning of infection, these viruses get inside the cell and release their genome from the capsid, so the genome can start to … Read More

 Recently LHCb collaboration discovered a doubly charmed tetraquark (Tcc) with exotic flavor content ccud slightly below DD* threshold. I'll present the first lattice QCD determination of DD* scattering amplitude which is needed to theoretically establish Tcc. The resulting scattering amplitude provides a signature for a pole related to Tcc for the … Read More

In this paper we present a novel mechanism for producing the observed Dark Matter (DM) relic abundance during the First Order Phase Transition (FOPT) in the early universe. We show that the bubble expansion with ultra-relativistic velocities can lead to … Read More

We study the impact of triple-leptoquark interactions on matter stability for two specific proton decay topologies that arise at the tree- and one-loop level. We demonstrate that the one-loop level topology is much more relevant than the tree-level one when … Read More
