On decays of Z' into unparticle stuff
We study the decay of a Z' - boson into U -unparticle and a photon. The
extended Landau-Yang theorem is used. The clear photon signal would make the
decay Z' \rightarrow \gamma U as an additional contribution mode for study of
unparticle physics.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, paper accepted for publication by Advances in

Fermi acceleration in time-dependent rectangular billiards due to multiple passages through resonances
We consider a slowly rotating rectangular billiard with moving boundaries and
use the canonical perturbation theory to describe the dynamics of a billiard
particle. In the process of slow evolution certain resonance conditions can be
satisfied. Correspondingly, phenomena of scattering on a resonance and capture
into a resonance happen in the system. These phenomena lead to destruction of
adiabatic invariance and to unlimited acceleration of the particle.Comment: 20 pages. Presented on School-Conference "Mathematics and Physics of

Electric dipole moment enhancement factor of thallium
The goal of this work is to resolve the present controversy in the value of
the EDM enhancement factor of Tl. We have carried out several calculations by
different high-precision methods, studied previously omitted corrections, as
well as tested our methodology on other parity conserving quantities. We find
the EDM enhancement factor of Tl to be equal to -573(20). This value is 20%
larger than the recently published result of Nataraj et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett.
106, 200403 (2011)], but agrees very well with several earlier results.Comment: 5 pages; v2: link to supplemental material adde
