We show that coalescence of nucleons emitted prior to thermalization in highly excited nuclei can explain the anomaly of kinetic energies of helium clusters. A new coalescence algorithm has been included into the statistical approach to nuclear reactions formerly used to describe intermediate mass fragment production.

Different studies have reported a power-law mass-size relation $M propto R^q$ for ensembles of molecular clouds. In the case of nearby clouds, the index of the power-law $q$ is close to 2. However, for clouds spread all over the Galaxy, indexes larger than 2 are reported. We show that indexes larger than 2 could be the result of line-of-sight superposition of emission that does not belong to the cloud itself. We found that a random factor of gas contamination, between 0.001% and 10% of the line-of-sight, allows to reproduce the mass-size relation with $q sim 2.2-2.3$ observed in Galactic CO surveys. Furthermore, for dense cores within a single cloud, or molecular clouds within a single galaxy, we argue that, even in these cases, there is observational and theoretical evidence that some degree of superposition may be occurring. However, additional effects may be present in each case, and are briefly discussed. We also argue that defining the fractal dimension of clouds via the mass-size relation is not adequate, since the mass is not {necessarily} a proxy to the area, and the size reported in $M-R$ relations is typically obtained from the square root of the area, rather than from an estimation of the size independent from the area. Finally, we argue that the statistical analysis of finding clouds satisfying the Larsons relations does not mean that each individual cloud is in virial equilibrium.
We study the constraints imposed by perturbative unitarity on the new physics interpretation of the muon $g-2$ anomaly. Within a Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) approach, we find that scattering amplitudes sourced by effective operators saturate perturbative unitarity at about 1 PeV. This corresponds to the highest energy scale that needs to be probed in order to resolve the new physics origin of the muon $g-2$ anomaly. On the other hand, simplified models (e.g.~scalar-fermion Yukawa theories) in which renormalizable couplings are pushed to the boundary of perturbativity still imply new on-shell states below 200 TeV. We finally suggest that the highest new physics scale responsible for the anomalous effect can be reached in non-renormalizable models at the PeV scale.
These proceedings summarize my plenary talk at Quark Matter 2011 with a focus on the future perspectives of the low energy programs at RHIC, FAIR, NICA and CERN.
In the present paper we discuss the relevance for de Sitter fields of the mass and spin interpretation of the parameters appearing in the theory. We show that these apparently conceptual interrogations have important consequences concerning the field theories. Among these, it appeared that several authors were using masses which they thought to be different, but which corresponded to a common unitary irreducible representation (UIR), hence to identical physicals systems. This could actually happen because of the arbitrariness of their mass definition in the de Sitter (dS) space. The profound cause of confusion however is to be found in the lack of connexion between the group theoretical approach on the one hand, and the usual field equation (in local coordinates) approach on the other hand. This connexion will be established in the present paper and by doing so we will get rid of any ambiguity by giving a consistent and univocal definition of a mass term uniquely defined with respect to a specific UIR of the de Sitter group.
We investigate the structure of the nucleon resonance N^*(1440) (Roper) within a coupled-channel meson exchange model for pion-nucleon scattering. The coupling to pipiN states is realized effectively by the coupling to the sigmaN, piDelta and rhoN channels. The interaction within and between these channels is derived from an effective Lagrangian based on a chirally symmetric Lagrangian, which is supplemented by well known terms for the coupling of the Delta isobar, the omega meson and the sigma, which is the name given here to the strong correlation of two pions in the scalar-isoscalar channel. In this model the Roper resonance can be described by meson-baryon dynamics alone; no genuine N^*(1440) (3 quark) resonance is needed in order to fit piN phase shifts and inelasticities.
