Clockwork Goldstone Bosons

Aqeel Ahmed, Barry M. Dillon

The clockwork mechanism has recently been proposed as a natural way to generate hierarchies among parameters in quantum field theories. The mechanism is characterized by a very spe…

Wave energy absorption by a submerged air bag connected to a rigid float

A. Kurniawan, J. R. Chaplin, M. R. Hann +2

A new wave energy device features a submerged ballasted air bag connected at the top to a rigid float. Under wave action, the bag expands and contracts, creating a reciprocating ai…

Ultra-bright GeV photon source via controlled electromagnetic cascades in laser-dipole waves

A. Gonoskov, A. Bashinov, S. Bastrakov +7

One aim of upcoming high-intensity laser facilities is to provide new high-flux gamma-ray sources. Electromagnetic cascades may serve for this, but are known to limit both field st…

Quantised inertia from relativity and the uncertainty principle

M. E. McCulloch

It is shown here that if we assume that what is conserved in nature is not simply mass-energy, but rather mass-energy plus the energy uncertainty of the uncertainty principle, and…

Sextet Model with Wilson Fermions

Martin Hansen, Claudio Pica

We present new results from our ongoing study of the SU(3) sextet model with two flavors in the two-index symmetric representation of the gauge group. In the simulations use unimpr…

Classical and quantum dynamics of a charged scalar particle in a background of two counterpropagating plane waves

B. King, H. Hu

We consider a scalar particle in a background formed by two counter-propagating plane waves. Two cases are studied: i) dynamics at a magnetic node and ii) zero initial transverse c…

A modular architecture for transparent computation in Recurrent Neural Networks

Giovanni Sirio Carmantini, Peter beim Graben, Mathieu Desroches +1

Computation is classically studied in terms of automata, formal languages and algorithms; yet, the relation between neural dynamics and symbolic representations and operations is s…

QED-driven laser absorption

M. C. Levy, T. G. Blackburn, N. Ratan +13

Absorption covers the physical processes which convert intense photon flux into energetic particles when a high-power laser illuminates optically-thick matter. It underpins importa…

Wave energy absorption by a floating air bag

A. Kurniawan, J. R. Chaplin, D. M. Greaves +1

A floating air bag, ballasted in water, expands and contracts as it heaves under wave action. Connecting the bag to a secondary volume via a turbine transforms the bag into a devic…

Strong dynamics, composite Higgs and the conformal window

Daniel Nogradi, Agostino Patella

We review recent progress in the lattice investigations of near-conformal non-abelian gauge theories relevant for dynamical symmetry breaking and model building of composite Higgs…

Classical and quantum particle dynamics in univariate background fields

Thomas Heinzl, Anton Ilderton, Ben King

We investigate deviations from the plane wave model in the interaction of charged particles with strong electromagnetic fields. A general result is that integrability of the dynami…

Canards, folded nodes and mixed-mode oscillations in piecewise-linear slow-fast systems

Mathieu Desroches, Antoni Guillamon, Enrique Ponce +3

Canard-induced phenomena have been extensively studied in the last three decades, both from the mathematical and from the application viewpoints. Canards in slow-fast systems with…

Quantum quenching of radiation losses in short laser pulses

Chris Harvey, Arkady Gonoskov, Anton Ilderton +1

Accelerated charges radiate, and therefore must lose energy. The impact of this energy loss on particle motion, called radiation reaction, becomes significant in intense-laser matt…

KK graviton resonance and cascade decays in warped gravity

Barry M. Dillon, Chengcheng Han, Hyun Min Lee +1

We consider the Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton and its decays in the presence of the light radion, the modulus of extra dimension, appearing naturally light due to classical scale inva…

A Hierarchical Emotion Regulated Sensorimotor Model: Case Studies

Junpei Zhong, Rony Novianto, Mingjun Dai +2

Inspired by the hierarchical cognitive architecture and the perception-action model (PAM), we propose that the internal status acts as a kind of common-coding representation which…

Anatomy of the sign-problem in heavy-dense QCD

Nicolas Garron, Kurt Langfeld

QCD at finite densities of heavy quarks is investigated using the density-of-states method. The phase factor expectation value of the quark determinant is calculated to unprecedent…

Depletion of intense fields

D. Seipt, T. Heinzl, M. Marklund +1

The interaction of charged particles and photons with intense electromagnetic fields gives rise to multi-photon Compton and Breit-Wheeler processes. These are usually described in…

Testing quantised inertia on the emdrive

M. E. McCulloch

It has been shown that truncated cone-shaped cavities with microwaves resonating within them move slightly towards their narrow ends (the emdrive). Standard physics has no explanat…

Approaches to the sign problem in lattice field theory

Christof Gattringer, Kurt Langfeld

Quantum field theories (QFTs) at finite densities of matter generically involve complex actions. Standard Monte-Carlo simulations based upon importance sampling, which have been pr…

Memory-Centred Cognitive Architectures for Robots Interacting Socially with Humans

Paul Baxter

The Memory-Centred Cognition perspective places an active association substrate at the heart of cognition, rather than as a passive adjunct. Consequently, it places prediction and…
