Nuclear-Level Effective Theory of μ→e Conversion.

Phys Rev Lett

March 2023

Department of Physics, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA.

The Mu2e and COMET μ→e conversion experiments are expected to significantly advance limits on new sources of charged lepton flavor violation. Almost all theoretical work in the field has focused on just two operators. However, general symmetry arguments lead to a μ→e conversion rate with six response functions, each of which, in principle, is observable by varying nuclear properties of targets.

Genotoxicity testing of nanomaterials.

Wiley Interdiscip Rev Nanomed Nanobiotechnol

November 2022

Oesch-Tox Toxicological Consulting and Expert Opinions, GmbH & Co KG, Ingelheim, Germany.

Nanomaterials have outstanding and unprecedented advantageous material properties but may also cause adverse effects in humans upon exposure. Testing nanomaterials for genotoxic properties is challenging because traditional testing methods were designed for small, soluble molecules and may not be easily applicable without modifications. This review critically examines available genotoxicity tests for use with nanomaterials, including DNA damage tests such as the comet assay, gene mutation tests such as the mouse lymphoma and hprt assay, and chromosome mutation tests such as the micronucleus test and the chromosome aberration test.

Assessing natural global catastrophic risks.

Nat Hazards (Dordr)

October 2022

Global Catastrophic Risk Institute, PO Box 40364, Washington, DC 20016 USA.

The risk of global catastrophe from natural sources may be significantly larger than previous analyses have found. In the study of global catastrophic risk (GCR), one line of thinking posits that deep human history renders natural GCRs insignificant. Essentially, the fact that natural hazards did not cause human extinction at any previous time makes it unlikely that they would do so now.
