Nuclear Predictions for Spectroscopy without Nuclear Errors
C. P. Burgess, P. Hayman, Markus Rummel +1
Nuclear-structure effects often provide an irreducible theory error that prevents using precision atomic measurements to test fundamental theory. We apply newly developed effective…
Hot Cosmic Qubits: Late-Time de Sitter Evolution and Critical Slowing Down
Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess
Temporal evolution of a comoving qubit coupled to a scalar field in de Sitter space is studied with an emphasis on reliable extraction of late-time behaviour. The phenomenon of cri…
Hot Accelerated Qubits: Decoherence, Thermalization, Secular Growth and Reliable Late-time Predictions
Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess
We compute how an accelerating qubit coupled to a scalar field - i.e. an Unruh-DeWitt detector - evolves in flat space, with an emphasis on its late-time behaviour. When calculable…
Point-Particle Catalysis
P. Hayman, C. P. Burgess
We use the point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) framework to describe particle-conversion mediated by a flavour-changing coupling to a point-particle. We do this for a toy…
Fall to the Centre in Atom Traps and Point-Particle EFT for Absorptive Systems
Ryan Plestid, C. P. Burgess, D H J O'Dell
Polarizable atoms interacting with a charged wire do so through an inverse-square potential, . This system is known to realize scale invariance in a nontrivial way and…
Distributed SUSY Breaking: Dark Energy, Newton's Law and the LHC
C. P. Burgess, L. van Nierop, M. Williams
We identify the underlying symmetry mechanism that suppresses the low-energy effective 4D cosmological constant within 6D supergravity models, leading to results suppressed by powe…
Radiative Fermion Masses in Local D-Brane Models
C. P. Burgess, Sven Krippendorf, Anshuman Maharana +1
In the context of D-brane model building, we present a realistic framework for generating fermion masses that are forbidden by global symmetries. We show that the string theoretica…
UV Caps and Modulus Stabilization for 6D Gauged Chiral Supergravity
C. P. Burgess, D. Hoover, G. Tasinato
We describe an explicit UV regularization of the brane singularities for all 4D flat configurations of 6D gauged chiral supergravity compactified on axially symmetric internal spac…
Warped Brane Worlds in Six Dimensional Supergravity
Y. Aghababaie, C. P. Burgess, J. M. Cline +5
We present warped compactification solutions of six-dimensional supergravity, which are generalizations of the Randall-Sundrum warped brane world to codimension two and to a supers…
Are Inflationary Predictions Sensitive to Very High Energy Physics?
C. P. Burgess, J. M. Cline, F. Lemieux +1
It has been proposed that the successful inflationary description of density perturbations on cosmological scales is sensitive to the details of physics at extremely high (trans-Pl…
Cosmological Spacetimes from Negative Tension Brane Backgrounds
C. P. Burgess, F. Quevedo, S. -J. Rey +2
We identify a time-dependent class of metrics with potential applications to cosmology, which emerge from negative-tension branes. The cosmology is based on a general class of solu…
Loop-Generated Bounds on Changes to the Graviton Dispersion Relation
C. P. Burgess, J. Cline, E. Filotas +2
We identify the effective theory appropriate to the propagation of massless bulk fields in brane-world scenarios, to show that the dominant low-energy effect of asymmetric warping…
Dynamical Stability of Six-Dimensional Warped Brane-Worlds
C. P. Burgess, J. M. Cline, N. R. Constable +1
We study a generalization of the Randall-Sundrum mechanism for generating the weak/Planck hierarchy, which uses two rather than one warped extra dimension, and which requires no ne…
