The nature of X(3872) from high-multiplicity pp collisions

The structure of exotic resonances that do not trivially fit the usual quark model expectations has been a matter of intense scientific debate during the last two decades. A possible way of estimating the size of these states is to study their behavior whe ...

Matter matters in Einstein-Cartan gravity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Georgios Karananas, Sebastian Zell

We study scalar, fermionic and gauge fields coupled nonminimally to gravity in the Einstein-Cartan formulation. We construct a wide class of models with nondynamical torsion whose gravitational spectra comprise only themassless graviton. Eliminating nonpro ...

Universal pair polaritons in a strongly interacting Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) manipulates the coupling of light with matter, and allows several emitters to couple coherently with one light mode1. However, even in a many-body system, the light–matter coupling mechanism has so far been restricted t ...

Immunizing Systems from Distant Failures by Limiting Lamport Exposure

Bryan Alexander Ford, Cristina Basescu

Failures far away from a user should intuitively be less likely to affect that user. Today's ecosystem miserably fails this test, however, despite high-availability best practices. Correlated and cascading failures – triggered by misconfigurations, bugs, a ...

Einstein-Cartan gravity, matter, and scale-invariant generalization

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

We study gravity coupled to scalar and fermion fields in the Einstein-Cartan framework. We discuss the most general form of the action that contains terms of mass dimension not bigger than four, leaving out only contributions quadratic in curvature. By res ...

Secular effects of ultralight dark matter on binary pulsars

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Dark matter (DM) can consist of very light bosons behaving as a classical scalar field that experiences coherent oscillations. The presence of this DM field would perturb the dynamics of celestial bodies, either because the (oscillating) DM stress tensor m ...

Observation of the 1S-2P Lyman-alpha transition in antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

In 1906, Theodore Lyman discovered his eponymous series of transitions in the extreme-ultraviolet region of the atomic hydrogen spectrum(1,2). The patterns in the hydrogen spectrum helped to establish the emerging theory of quantum mechanics, which we now ...

Ultralight Dark Matter Resonates with Binary Pulsars

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

We consider the scenario where dark matter (DM) is represented by an ultralight classical scalar field performing coherent periodic oscillations. We point out that such DM perturbs the dynamics of binary systems either through its gravitational field or vi ...

Quarkonium spectral function in medium at next-to-leading order for any quark mass

Yannis Burnier

The vector channel spectral function at zero spatial momentum is calculated at next-to-leading order in thermal QCD for any quark mass. It corresponds to the imaginary part of the massive quark contribution to the photon polarisation tensor. The spectrum s ...

Lattice calculation of the heavy quark potential at non-zero temperature

Yannis Burnier

We calculated the real and imaginary parts of the static quark-antiquark potential at T > 0 in 2 + 1 flavor QCD using correlators of Wilson lines in Coulomb gauge and lattices with temporal extent N-tau = 12. We find that the real part of the potential is ...

Charm mass effects in bulk channel correlations

Yannis Burnier

The bulk viscosity of thermalized QCD matter at temperatures above a few hundred MeV could be significantly influenced by charm quarks because their contribution arises four perturbative orders before purely gluonic effects. In an attempt to clarify the ch ...

Prospects of warm dense matter research at HiRadMat facility at CERN using 440 MeV SPS proton beam

Juan Blanco Sancho, Rudiger Schmidt

In this paper we present numerical simulations of heating of a solid copper cylinder by the 440 GeV proton beam delivered by the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. The beam is made of 288 proton bunches while each bunch comprises of 1.15.10(11) so tha ...

Baryogenesis, Dark Matter and Neutrino Oscillations from Right-Handed Neutrinos

Laurent Canetti

Our knowledge of our universe is deeply related to our understanding of physics at the sub- atomic scale. Indeed, at its early stage, our universe was so hot and so dense that the only relevant interactions were those between fundamental particles. Therefo ...

Bloch oscillations of an exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensate

Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We study theoretically Bloch oscillations of half-matter, half-light quasiparticles: exciton-polaritons. We propose an original structure for the observation of this phenomenon despite the constraints imposed by the relatively short lifetime of the particl ...

Baryon asymmetry of the universe and neutrinos

Mikhail Chapochnikov

Our Universe is charge-asymmetric: it contains no antimatter in amounts comparable to matter. This fact provides cosmological evidence for the nonconservation of baryon number as well as for C and CP breaking. We review the problem of the matter-antimatter ...

Solid-state physics - Polaritronics in view

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud

Polaritons are an odd cross-breed of a particle, half-matter, half-light. They could offer an abundant crop of new and improved optoelectronic devices — a promise already being fulfilled. ...

Updated predictions for the total production cross sections of top and of heavier quark pairs at the Tevatron and at the LHC

We present updated predictions for the total production cross section of top-quark pairs at the Tevatron and at the LHC, and, at the LHC, of heavy-quark pairs with mass in the range 0.5 - 2 TeV. For t (t) over bar production at the LHC we also present resu ...

Measurement of the CP-odd fraction and time-dependent CP violation in the decay B0 -> D+D- at Belle

We present a study of the CP asymmetry in the B⁰ → D*+D*- decay, using data produced by the electron-positron asymmetric-energy accelerator KEKB (Tsukuba, Japan) running at the Υ(4S) resonance. We use the full data sample (as of summer 2008) of 657 × ...
