Modelling the radio pulses of an ultracool dwarf

S. Yu, G. Hallinan, J. G. Doyle +5

Recently unanticipated magnetic activity in ultracool dwarfs (UCDs, spectral classes later than M7) have emerged from a number of radio observations. The highly (up to 100%) circul…

Can the Renormalization Group Improved Effective Potential be used to estimate the Higgs Mass in the Conformal Limit of the Standard Model?

F. A. Chishtie, T. Hanif, J. Jia +4

We consider the effective potential in the standard model with a single Higgs doublet in the limit that the only mass scale present is radiatively generated. Using a techni…
