Determination of the quark condensate from heavy-light current-current correlators in full lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, K. Hornbostel, J. Komijani +4

We derive the Operator Product Expansion whose vacuum expectation value gives the time-moments of the pseudoscalar heavy-light current-current correlator up to and including terms…

Disconnected hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g-2 with HISQ

Shuhei Yamamoto, Carleton DeTar, Aida X. El-Khadra +3

We describe a computation of the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon from the disconnected part of the hadronic vacuum polarization. We use the highly-improve…

Flatland: a Lightweight First-Person 2-D Environment for Reinforcement Learning

Hugo Caselles-Dupré, Louis Annabi, Oksana Hagen +2

Flatland is a simple, lightweight environment for fast prototyping and testing of reinforcement learning agents. It is of lower complexity compared to similar 3D platforms (e.g. De…

Light scalars: coherent nonlinear Thomson scattering and detection

Barry M. Dillon, B. King

Several theories of beyond-the-standard-model physics predict light scalars that couple to fermions. By extending classical electrodynamics to include an electron-scalar coupling,…

On Higgs Bundles on Nodal Curves

Marina Logares

This is a review article on some applications of generalised parabolic structures to the study of torsion free sheaves and -twisted Hitchin pairs on nodal curves. In particular,…

An extended locally constant field approximation for nonlinear Compton scattering

A. Ilderton, B. King, D. Seipt

The locally constant field approximation (LCFA) has to date underpinned the numerical simulation of quantum processes in laser-plasma physics and astrophysics, but its validity has…

A clockwork solution to the flavor puzzle

Rodrigo Alonso, Adrian Carmona, Barry M. Dillon +3

We introduce a set of clockwork models of flavor that can naturally explain the large hierarchies of the Standard Model quark masses and mixing angles. Since the clockwork only con…

Reaching supercritical field strengths with intense lasers

T. G. Blackburn, A. Ilderton, M. Marklund +1

It is conjectured that all perturbative approaches to quantum electrodynamics (QED) break down in the collision of a high-energy electron beam with an intense laser, when the laser…

Three-pulse photon-photon scattering

B. King, H. Hu, B. Shen

We calculate signals of real photon-photon scattering in the collision of three laser pulses. Taking goal parameters from the Station of Extreme Light at the upcoming Shanghai Cohe…

Screw-symmetric gravitational waves: a double copy of the vortex

A. Ilderton

Plane gravitational waves can admit a sixth `screw' isometry beyond the usual five. The same is true of plane electromagnetic waves. From the point of view of integrable systems, a…

Symplectic geometry of a moduli space of framed Higgs bundles

Indranil Biswas, Marina Logares, Ana Peón-Nieto

Let be a compact connected Riemann surface and an effective divisor on . Let denote the moduli space of -twisted stable Higgs bundles (a special…

Superintegrable relativistic systems in scalar background fields

L. Ansell, T. Heinzl, A. Ilderton

We consider a relativistic charged particle in a background scalar field depending on both space and time. Poincaré, dilation and special conformal symmetries of the field generate…

Realising Single-Shot Measurements of Quantum Radiation Reaction in High-Intensity Lasers

C. D. Baird, C. D. Murphy, T. G. Blackburn +4

Collisions between high intensity laser pulses and energetic electron beams are now used to measure the transition between the classical and quantum regimes of light-matter interac…

Encoding Longer-term Contextual Multi-modal Information in a Predictive Coding Model

Junpei Zhong, Tetsuya Ogata, Angelo Cangelosi

Studies suggest that within the hierarchical architecture, the topological higher level possibly represents a conscious category of the current sensory events with slower changing…

AFA-PredNet: The action modulation within predictive coding

Junpei Zhong, Angelo Cangelosi, Xinzheng Zhang +1

The predictive processing (PP) hypothesizes that the predictive inference of our sensorimotor system is encoded implicitly in the regularities between perception and action. We pro…

Electron-seeded ALP production and ALP decay in an oscillating electromagnetic field

B. King

Certain models involving ALPs (axion-like-particles) allow for the coupling of scalars and pseudoscalars to fermions. A derivation of the total rate for production of massive scala…

ALP production through non-linear Compton scattering in intense fields

Barry M. Dillon, Ben King

We derive production yields for massive pseudo-scalar and scalar axion-like-particles (ALPs), through non-linear Compton scattering of an electron in the background of low- and hig…

Mode truncations and scattering in strong fields

Tom Heinzl, Anton Ilderton, Daniel Seipt

Truncating quantum field theories to a dominant mode offers a non-perturbative approach to their solution. We consider here the interaction of charged scalar matter with a single m…

Gauge invariant determination of charged hadron masses

Martin Hansen, Biagio Lucini, Agostino Patella +1

In this paper we show, for the first time, that charged-hadron masses can be calculated on the lattice without relying on gauge fixing at any stage of the calculations. In our simu…
