New perspectives in physics and astrophysics from the theoretical understanding of Gamma‐Ray Bursts
If due attention is given in formulating the basic equations for the Gamma‐Ray Burst (GRB) phenomenon and in performing the corresponding quantitative analysis, GRBs open a main avenue of inquiring on totally new physical and astrophysical regimes. This program is very likely one of the greatest computational efforts in physics and astrophysics and cannot be actuated using shortcuts. A systematic approach is needed which has been highlighted in three basic new paradigms: the relative space‐time transformation (RSTT) paradigm (Ruffini et al. [143]), the interpretation of the burst structure (IBS) paradigm (Ruffini et al. [144]), the GRB‐supernova time sequence (GSTS) paradigm (Ruffini et al. [145]). From the point of view of fundamental physics new regimes are explored: (1) the process of energy extraction from black holes; (2) the quantum and general relativistic effects of matter‐antimatter creation near the black hole horizon; (3) the physics of ultrarelativisitc shock waves with Lorentz gamma factor γ ...

PHASE-STRUCTURE OF THE SU(2)-SO(3) LATTICE SYSTEM IN AN IMPROVED VARIATIONAL APPROACH
An improved trial action in the variational approach of the lattice gauge field theory is in-troduced to acquire better lower bound for the convexity Inequality and used to calculate the phase structure of the SU(2)-SO(3) pure gauge system. The improvement is seen in comparing the old and new variational results with that by the Monte Carlo simulation.

GRB 050315: A step toward the uniqueness of the overall GRB structure and the true nature of long GRBs
Using the Swift data of GRB 050315, we progress on the uniqueness of our theoretically predicted Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) structure as composed by a proper-GRB (P-GRB), emitted at the transparency of an electron-positron plasma with suitable baryon loading, and an afterglow comprising the so called "prompt emission" as due to external shocks. Thanks to the Swift observations, we can theoretically fit detailed light curves for selected energy bands on a continuous time scale ranging over 10^6 seconds. The theoretically predicted instantaneous spectral distribution over the entire afterglow confirms a clear hard-to-soft behavior encompassing, continuously, the "prompt emission" all the way to the latest phases of the afterglow. Consequences of the instrumental threshold on the definition of "short" and "long" GRBs are discussed.

On evolution of the pair-electromagnetic pulse of a charged black hole
Using hydrodynamic computer codes, we study the possible patterns of relativistic expansion of an enormous pair-electromagnetic-pulse (P.E.M. pulse); a hot, high density plasma composed of photons, electron-positron pairs and baryons deposited near a charged black hole (EMBH). On the bases of baryon-loading and energy conservation, we study the bulk Lorentz factor of expansion of the P.E.M. pulse by both numerical and analytical methods.

The Dynamical Casimir Effect and Energetic Sources for Gamma Ray Bursts
On the analogy of the Casimir effect, we present an effect of quantum-field fluctuations, attributed to gravitational field coupling to the zero-point energy of virtual particles in the vacuum. In the process of black hole's formation, such an effect could cause tremendous energy release, possibly describing a scenario of energetic sources for observed gamma ray bursts.

Search for supersymmetric particles using acoplanar charged-particle pairs from Z0 decays
We have performed a search for supersymmetric particles using acoplanar pairs of oppositely-charged particles in decays of the Z0. In 0.53 pb−1 of integrated luminosity near the Z0 peak, we observe two events where approximately four are expected from background, allowing limits to be extended on combined photino and slepton masses, and also on combined photino and chargino masses.

A Search for New Quarks and Leptons From $\Z^0$ Decay
A search for Z0 decays into pairs of possible new heavy quarks (t and b′), new heavy charged leptons (L±), stable heavy neutral leptons (νL) and unstable heavy neutral leptons (L0) is performed on data collected by the ALEPH detector corresponding to 11 550 events of Z0→hadrons. The limits on the masses of the heavy quarks are Mt > 45.8 GeV and Mb′ > 46.0 GeV, allowing for both charged-current and flavor-changing neutral-current decays of the b′. If an L± decays into a stable νL, then for MνL MνL. Finally, while the mass of the stable νL is excluded up to 42.7 GeV, the mass of the unstable L0 is excluded up to 45.7 GeV with the mixing parameters |UlL0|2 down to 10−13 at this mass. For 25.0 GeV < ML0 < 42.7 GeV, all values of |UlL0|2 are excluded. All limits are given at 95% CL.
