[HTML][HTML] Muon g− 2 anomaly and non-locality

A Capolupo, G Lambiase, A Quaranta - Physics Letters B, 2022 - Elsevier
We show that the discrepancy between the observed value of the muon anomalous moment
and the standard model prediction can be explained in the framework of nonlocal theories …

Fermion condensates induced by axial interactions and cosmological implications

A Capolupo, A Quaranta - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We reveal the presence of a new source of axial current due to the condensed vacuum
generated by the spin–spin interaction. To show this, we consider a quartic Dirac …

Boson mixing and flavor oscillations in curved spacetime

A Capolupo, A Quaranta, PA Setaro - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We develop a quantum field theory of boson mixing in curved space. We derive new general
oscillation probabilities and prove that the formalism correctly reproduces the flat space limit …

[HTML][HTML] Neutrino capture on tritium as a probe of flavor vacuum condensate and dark matter

A Capolupo, A Quaranta - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
We show that the study of neutrino capture on tritium, for non-relativistic neutrinos, can allow
to distinguish among the various neutrino models, eventually prove the quantum field theory …

[HTML][HTML] Beyond the MSW effect: Neutrinos in a dense medium

A Capolupo, SM Giampaolo, A Quaranta - Physics Letters B, 2021 - Elsevier
We present a theory of neutrino oscillations in a dense medium which goes beyond the
effective matter potential used in the description of the MSW effect. We show how the purity …

Discerning the nature of neutrinos: decoherence and geometric phases

A Capolupo, SM Giampaolo, G Lambiase, A Quaranta - Universe, 2020 - mdpi.com
We present new approaches to distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. The first
is based on the analysis of the geometric phases associated to neutrinos in matter, the …

Quantum Field Theory of neutrino mixing in spacetimes with torsion

A Capolupo, G De Maria, S Monda, A Quaranta… - Universe, 2024 - mdpi.com
In the framework of quantum field theory, we analyze the neutrino oscillations in the
presence of a torsion background. We consider the Einstein–Cartan theory and we study the …

Fermion mixing in curved spacetime

A Capolupo, G Lambiase… - Journal of Physics …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop the quantum field theory of fermion mixing in curved spacetime and discuss the
role of unitarily inequivalent representations in the particle interpretation of the theory. We …

[HTML][HTML] The impact of the X17 boson on particle physics anomalies: Muon anomalous magnetic moment, Lamb shift and W mass

A Capolupo, A Quaranta, R Serao - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2025 - Elsevier
We show that the X 17 vector boson, introduced to explain the 8 Be anomalous decay, could
play a role in the muon's (electron's) anomalous magnetic moment and the muonic Lamb …
