We study the corrections to Casimir effect in classical geometry of two parallel metallic plates, separated by a distance $a$, due presence minimal length ($\hbar\sqrt{(\beta)}$) arising from quantum mechanical models based on Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). The approach for quantization electromagnetic field is projecting onto maximally localized states few specific GUP and was previously developed Casimir-Polder effect. For each model we compute lowest order correction energy find...

We consider the production at LHC of exotic composite leptons charge $Q=+2e$. Such states are allowed in models that contain extended isospin multiplets (${I}_{W}=1$ and ${I}_{W}=3/2$). These doubly charged couple with standard model (SM) fermions via gauge interactions, thereby delineating restricting their possible decay channels. discuss cross section ${L}^{++}(pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{L}^{++},{\ensuremath{\ell}}^{\ensuremath{-}})$ concentrate on leptonic signature deriving from cascade...

We study the (2+1) dimensional Dirac oscillator in a homogeneous magnetic field non-commutative plane. It is shown that effect of non-commutativity twofold: $i$) momentum non commuting coordinates simply shift critical value ($B_{\text{cr}}$) at which well known left-right chiral quantum phase transition takes place (in phase); $ii$) space induces new field, $B_{\text{cr}}^*$, where there second (right-left), --this point disappears commutative limit--.

We investigate the search for heavy Majorana neutrinos stemming from a composite model scenario at upcoming LHC Run II centre of mass energy 13 TeV. While previous studies neutrino were focussed on gauge interactions via magnetic type transition coupling between ordinary and fermions (with $$m^*$$ ) here we complement with contact scale $$\Lambda $$ find that production cross sections are dominated by such roughly two/three orders magnitude. This mechanism provides therefore very interesting...
