Title:

Solar neutrinos and leptonic spin forces



Title in Persian:

نیروهای اسپین لپتونی و نوترینوهای خورشیدی



Abstract:

In this talk, I quantify the effects of light spin-zero particles with pseudoscalar couplings to leptons and scalar couplings to nucleons on the evolution of solar neutrinos. I show in this scenario the matter potential sourced by the nucleons in the Sun’s matter gives rise to spin precession of the relativistic neutrino ensemble. For Dirac neutrinos, the spin-flavour precession results in active-sterile oscillations, while for Majorana neutrinos it results in left-handed neutrino to right-handed antineutrino oscillations. In both cases, this leads to distortions in the solar neutrino spectrum which we use to derive constraints on the allowed values of the mediator mass and couplings via a global analysis of the solar neutrino data. In addition for Majorana neutrinos, spin-flavour precession results into a potentially observable flux of solar electron antineutrinos at the Earth which we quantify and constrain with the existing bounds from Borexino and KamLAND.

A novel global charge conservation in the symmetric phase of the early Universe

Abstract

In the Standard Model at high temperatures, anomalous effects contribute to the violation of baryon number ($B$) and lepton number ($L$), separately, while $B-L$ remains conserved. There are also corresponding changes in the helicity of the hypermagnetic field ($h$) and the Chern-Simons numbers of the non-Abelian gauge fields ($N_{\rm CS,W}$ and $N_{\rm CS,S}$). In this study, we investigate a baryogenesis process in the symmetric phase of the early Universe by taking into account the Abelian and non-Abelian anomalous effects as well as the perturbative chirality-flip processes of all fermions. We calculate explicitly the time evolution of all relevant physical quantities, including those of $h$ and $N_{\rm CS,W}$, and show that there is another conserved global charge involving total matter-antimatter asymmetry $B+L$, hypermagnetic helicity $h_B$ and $N_{\rm CS,W}$.

The course outline: Quantum Field Theory I, Fall 2024


This is an introductory course on quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a fundamental requirement in the studies of theoretical high energy physics, particle physics and early universe cosmology. It is a vast and well-established subject with applications in many branches of theoretical physics and cosmology. There are many textbooks on QFT, old and new. In this course we will mainly follow the book by Peskin & Schroeder (Perseus Books, 1995). This is an excellent book, emphasizing on various aspects of QFT, both at the level of formalisms and applications. There are other useful books which may be consulted as well. For example, the book by Schwartz (Cam- bridge University Press, 2014) is very useful as well. The QFT book by Steven Weinberg (Cambridge University Press, volume I, 1995) is an excellent reference for deeper under- standings of various topics in QFT. However, because of its high level of presentation, it is not suggested as a regular text book for a first time study in QFT. This is a three-unit course. Our goal is to cover most of part I of Peskin & Schroeder, chapters 1-7.


Time and place of the course: Sunday and Tuesday, 9:00 - 10:30, IPM, School of Astronomy, Larak garden.

🇨🇭PhD position in Planetary Atmospheres at ETH Zürich🇨🇭

Job Denoscription

The successful candidate will develop numerical models based on experiments using an aerodynamic laser-heated levitation furnace to simulate atmospheric escape in the laboratory. Velocimetry measurements will be performed in order to describe the flow of gases around a molten bead in a fluid dynamical framework. Isotopic analyses of the residues of atmospheric loss are to be undertaken to establish the pressures at the surface of the bead. These constraints will be used to develop a 3D model of atmospheric loss from planetary bodies.

بعد از آشکارسازی امواج گرانشی، شاید در آینده نزدیک چشم‌مان به آشکارسازی «امواج ماده تاریک» روشن شود:
Searching for dark matter with a 1000 km baseline interferometer
https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.02668

در این پژوهش به جستجوی ماده تاریک با استفاده از یک نوع تداخلسنجی با خط پایه 1000 کیلومتری پرداخته شده است. اصول کار این تداخلسنج شبیه شبکه تداخلسنج های امواج رادیویی، مانند تلسکوپ افق رویداد است، با این تفاوت که این تداخلسنج به امواج ماده تاریک حساس است، نه امواج الکترومغناطیس. کوچکترین طول موج دوبروی که در این پژوهش جستجو شده است بیش از هزار برابر بزرگتر از شعاع زمین است!

در این پژوهش از دو هم‌مغناطیسسنج اتمی K-Rb-3He استفاده شده است که یکی در ماینتس آلمان و دیگری در کراکوف لهستان قرار دارد. این تداخلسنج برای بررسی برهمکنش بین ماده تاریک شبه-اکسیونی و نوکلئونها طراحی شده است. جستجو در محدوده نه مرتبه بزرگی در جرم ماده تاریک اکسیونی انجام شده است. و البته در این محدوده، هیچ شواهد قابل توجهی از سیگنال این نوع ماده تاریک یافت نشده است.

Interaction of Kerr-Newman Electromagnetic Fields



برهم‌کنش میدان‌های کر-نیومان الکترومغناطیس

Abstract

In this talk, I will discuss some properties of the Kerr-Newman (KN) Electromagnetic Fields, which is the G → 0 limit of the KN solution of Einstein-Maxwell equations. In this limit, the electromagnetic sector of the solution survives, while the background becomes locally flat with nontrivial topology. The discussion includes the complex transformation between the non-spinning Coulomb solution and the spinning KN, the g = 2 gyromagnetic ratio of the solution noted by Carter, and the corresponding multipole structure. The topological conserved charges of the electromagnetic field, i.e. the classical helicity and classical spin, are calculated for this solution. Moreover, we studied the interaction of two such solutions by evaluating the Lagrangian for the superposition of those fields. This yields a correction to the interaction potential beyond the Coulomb interaction due to the spin of the fields. The talk is based on: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.12602.

From WIMPs to FIMPs with Low Reheating Temperatures

Abstract

Weakly- and Feebly-Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs and FIMPs) are among the best-motivated dark matter (DM) candidates. In this paper, we investigate the production of DM through the WIMP and FIMP mechanisms during inflationary reheating. We show that the details of the reheating, such as the inflaton potential and the reheating temperature, have a strong impact on the genesis of DM. The strong entropy injection caused by the inflaton decay has to be compensated by a reduction of the portal coupling in the case of WIMPs, or by an increase in the case of FIMPs. We pinpoint the smooth transition between the WIMP and the FIMP regimes in the case of low reheating temperature. As an example, we perform a full numerical analysis of the singlet-scalar DM model; however, our results are generic and adaptable to other particle DM candidates. Interestingly, in the singlet-scalar DM model with low-reheating temperature, regions favored by the FIMP mechanism are already being tested by direct detection experiments such as LZ and XENONnT.

Title:

Low-energy high-brightness electron beam dynamics based on slice beam matrix method



Title in Persian:

دینامیک بیم الکترونی کم انرژی و روشنایی زیاد با استفاده مدل ماتریسی



Abstract:

Preserving the phase space quality has been of crucial importance to high-brightness electron beam transport. Any driving source of beam performance limitations in such a transport system must be carefully examined in order to preserve the beam phase space quality. It is found that in the low beam energy, high bunch charge regime, space charge effect on the charged particle beam evolution can be complicated. It may be insufficient to analyze the beam properties through the envelope or lower order moments for the mere bulk of the beam. In this work we will study the space-charge-dominated, low-energy, high-brightness electron beam dynamics based on the slice beam matrix method. The slice beam matrix method, extended from the existing bulk beam analysis, is applicable to an arbitrary longitudinal bunch distribution and can thus take the nonlinear RF curvature into account. The semi-analytical sliced beam space charge model is constructed and assumes an axisymmetric beam in the presence of perfect conducting cylindrical pipe with circular cross section. We present in this paper the theoretical formulation, starting from single-particle dynamics, space charge field calculation, followed by the moment denoscription of a collection of particles, based on beam sigma matrix and longitudinal slice decomposition. We prove the equivalence between the beam matrix method and the envelope formalism in the presence of space charge effect, in both the transverse and longitudinal dimensions.
