Higher dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equations under weak anchoring boundary conditions
Patricia Bauman, Daniel Phillips, Changyou Wang
For and , let be a bounded smooth domain and solve the Ginzburg-Landau equation under the weak anchor…
Holographic bounds and finite inflation
Daniel Phillips, Andrew Scacco, Andreas Albrecht
We compare two holographic arguments that impose especially strong bounds on the amount of inflation. One comes from the de Sitter Equilibrium cosmology and the other from the work…
Building light nuclei from neutrons, protons, and pions
Daniel Phillips
In these lectures I first explain, in a rather basic fashion, the construction of effective field theories. I then discuss some recent developments in the application of such theor…
Properties of Lithium-11 and Carbon-22 at leading order in halo effective field theory
Bijaya Acharya, Daniel Phillips
We study the and nuclei at leading order (LO) in halo effective field theory (Halo EFT). Using the value of the rms matter ra…
Effects of Inhomogeneity on the Causal Entropic prediction of Lambda
Daniel Phillips, Andreas Albrecht
The causal entropic principle aims to predict the unexpectedly small value of the cosmological constant Lambda using a weighting by entropy increase on causal diamonds. The origina…
Curvature Constraints from the Causal Entropic Principle
Brandon Bozek, Andreas Albrecht, Daniel Phillips
Current cosmological observations indicate a preference for a cosmological constant that is drastically smaller than what can be explained by conventional particle physics. The Cau…
Ambisonics Super-Resolution Using A Waveform-Domain Neural Network
Ismael Nawfal, Symeon Delikaris Manias, Mehrez Souden +5
Ambisonics is a spatial audio format describing a sound field. First-order Ambisonics (FOA) is a popular format comprising only four channels. This limited channel count comes at t…
How Bayesian methods can improve -matrix analyses of data: the example of the Reaction
Daniel Odell, Carl Brune, Daniel Phillips
The reaction is of significant interest in nuclear astrophysics and nuclear applications. It is an important, early step in big-bang nucleosynthesis and…
Dynamic Analysis of Chevron Structures in Liquid Crystal Cells
Lidia Mrad, Daniel Phillips
If a surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal cell is cooled from the smectic-A to the smectic-C phase, its layers thin causing V-shaped (chevron like) defects to form. Thes…
Origin of probabilities and their application to the multiverse
Andreas Albrecht, Daniel Phillips
We argue using simple models that all successful practical uses of probabilities originate in quantum fluctuations in the microscopic physical world around us, often propagated to…
Probing the effectiveness: chiral perturbation theory calculations of low-energy electromagnetic reactions on deuterium
Daniel Phillips
I summarize three recent calculations of electromagnetic reactions on deuterium in chiral perturbation theory. All of these calculations were carried out to O(Q^4), i.e. next-to-ne…
Quantum Information Science and Technology for Nuclear Physics. Input into U.S. Long-Range Planning, 2023
Douglas Beck, Joseph Carlson, Zohreh Davoudi +98
In preparation for the 2023 NSAC Long Range Plan (LRP), members of the Nuclear Science community gathered to discuss the current state of, and plans for further leveraging opportun…
Regularity of Minimizers for a General Class of Constrained Energies in Two-Dimensional Domains with Applications to Liquid Crystals
Patricia Bauman, Daniel Phillips
We investigate minimizers defined on a bounded domain in for singular constrained energy functionals that include Ball and Majumdar's modification of the Landau…
Regularity and the Behavior of Eigenvalues for Minimizers of a Constrained -tensor Energy for Liquid Crystals
Patricia Bauman, Daniel Phillips
We investigate minimizers defined on a bounded domain in for the Maier--Saupe Q--tensor energy used to characterize nematic liquid crystal configurations. The energy…
