abstract
We show that the mass and width of an unstable particle are precisely defined by the pole in the complex energy plane, $\mu = m - (i/2)\Gamma$, by identifying the width, $\Gamma$, with the particle's decay rate and the mass, $m$, with the oscillatory frequency. We find that the physical $Z$ boson mass lies 26 MeV below its quoted value, while the physical $W$ boson mass lies 20 MeV below. We also clarify the various Breit-Wigner formulae that are used to describe a resonance.

Universal parameters of the $\Lambda(1380)$, the $\Lambda(1405)$ and their isospin partners from a combined analysis of Lattice QCD and experimental results
A combined global fit of lattice QCD spectra and experimental Kbar N data within chiral unitary approaches gives pole positions for the Lambda(1380) and Lambda(1405) at physical and lattice quark masses, with systemat...

Complex Inflaton Potentials with Nonminimal Coupling: Robust Inflation and Geometric Reheating
A complex-scalar inflation model with a non-Hermitian imaginary potential claims geometric reheating, but the reheating evidence is internally contradictory and the CMB predictions reduce to fitted α-attractor results.
