Pisot unit generators in number fields

Tomáš Vávra, Francesco Veneziano

Pisot numbers are real algebraic integers bigger than 1, whose other conjugates have all modulus smaller than 1. In this paper we deal with the algorithmic problem of finding the s…

Higgs production from sterile neutrinos at future lepton colliders

Stefan Antusch, Eros Cazzato, Oliver Fischer

In scenarios with sterile (right-handed) neutrinos that are subject to an approximate "lepton-number-like" symmetry, the heavy neutrinos (i.e. the mass eigenstates) can have masses…

Predicting the Sparticle Spectrum from GUTs via SUSY Threshold Corrections with SusyTC

Stefan Antusch, Constantin Sluka

Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) can feature predictions for the ratios of quark and lepton Yukawa couplings at high energy, which can be tested with the increasingly precise results…

Non-Abelian family symmetries as portals to dark matter

Ivo de Medeiros Varzielas, Oliver Fischer

Non-Abelian family symmetries offer a very promising explanation for the flavour structure in the Standard Model and its extensions. We explore the possibility that dark matter con…

Dynamic cantilever magnetometry of individual CoFeB nanotubes

B. Gross, D. P. Weber, D. Rüffer +5

We investigate single CoFeB nanotubes with hexagonal cross-section using dynamic cantilever magnetometry (DCM). We develop both an analytical model based on the Stoner-Wohlfarth ap…

The topological Anderson insulator phase in the Kane-Mele model

Christoph P. Orth, Tibor Sekera, Christoph Bruder +1

It has been proposed that adding disorder to a topologically trivial mercury telluride/cadmium telluride (HgTe/CdTe) quantum well can induce a transition to a topologically nontriv…

Non local quantum state engineering with the Cooper pair splitter beyond the Coulomb blockade regime

Ehud Amitai, Rakesh P. Tiwari, Stefan Walter +2

A Cooper pair splitter consists of two quantum dots side-coupled to a conventional superconductor. Usually, the quantum dots are assumed to have a large charging energy compared to…
