On the self-consistent general relativistic equilibrium equations of neutron stars
We address the existence of globally neutral neutron star configurations in contrast with the traditional ones constructed by imposing local neutrality. The equilibrium equations describing this system are the Einstein-Maxwell equations which must be solved self-consistently with the general relativistic Thomas-Fermi equation and $\beta$-equilibrium condition. To illustrate the application of this novel approach we adopt the Baym, Bethe, and Pethick (1971) strong interaction model of the baryonic matter in the core and of the white-dwarf-like material of the crust. We illustrate the crucial role played by the boundary conditions satisfied by the leptonic component of the matter at the interface between the core and the crust. For every central density an entire new family of equilibrium configurations exists for selected values of the Fermi energy of the electrons at the surface of the core. Each such configuration fulfills global charge neutrality and is characterized by a non-trivial electrodynamical structure. The electric field extends over a thin shell of thickness $\sim \hbar/(m_e c)$ between the core and the crust and becomes largely overcritical in the limit of decreasing values of the crust mass.

title: On evolution of the pair-electromagnetic pulse of a charged black hole
abstract: 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.

title: GRB 050315: A step toward the uniqueness of the overall GRB structure and the true nature of long GRBs
abstract: 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.

title: The Dynamical Casimir Effect and Energetic Sources for Gamma Ray Bursts
abstract: 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.

title: PHASE-STRUCTURE OF THE SU(2)-SO(3) LATTICE SYSTEM IN AN IMPROVED VARIATIONAL APPROACH
abstract: 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.

title: Energy moments for quark jets at PETRA
abstract: Measurements of energy moments for single quark jets at c.m. energies between 12 and 31.6 GeV are presented. The data, corrected for detector effects and initial state radiation, are compared to QCD predictions in the leading log approximation. Non perturbative effects are found to be moderate, and they strongly decrease with increasing c.m. energy. Once partly corrected for the presence of these fragmentation effects, our data agree well with all features of the leading log prediction, and in particular with the variation of the strong coupling constant over a wide range of energies and momentum transfers.

title: Search For Neutral Higgs Bosons From Supersymmetry In Z-decays
abstract: The light scalar Higgs boson h and the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A of the minimal supersymmetric standard model have been searched for in the processes e+e−→hff and e+e−→hA using data collected by ALEPH at the LEP e+e− collider, with center of mass energies at and near the Z peak. Using a variety of signatures adapted to various mass ranges for h and A, we have excluded a large domain in the parameter space. For large values of ν2ν1, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs fields, the whole range from 0 to 38.8 GeV is excluded for Mh and MA at 95% CL.

title: A Search for New Quarks and Leptons From $\Z^0$ Decay
abstract: 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.
