A compendium of photon emission rates, absorption cross sections and scattering cross sections
Rainer Dick
We provide a compendium of the quantum mechanical equations for photon emission rates, photon absorption cross sections, and photon scattering cross sections. For each case, the di…
Vector and scalar confinement in gauge theory with a dilaton
Rainer Dick
In a recent letter it has been shown that gauge theory with a dilaton provides linearly increasing gauge potentials from static or uniformly moving pointlike colour sources. This e…
Standard Cosmology in the DGP Brane Model
Rainer Dick
Large extra dimensions provide interesting extensions of our parameter space for gravitational theories. There exist now brane models which can perfectly reproduce standard four-di…
Collapse of wave functions in Schroedinger's wave mechanics
Rainer Dick
We show that inelastic scattering leads to a collapse of the wave function within standard evolution through the Schroedinger equation, whereas elastic scattering will not collapse…
Non-Standard Fermion Propagators from Conformal Field Theory
Rainer Dick
It is shown that Weyl spinors in 4D Minkowski space are composed of primary fields of half-integer conformal weights. This yields representations of fermionic 2-point functions in…
Gamma ray signals of the annihilation of Higgs-portal singlet dark matter
Frederick S. Sage, Rainer Dick
This article is an exploration of gamma ray signals of annihilating Higgs-portal singlet scalar and vector dark matter. Gamma ray signals are considered in the context of contribut…
