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…
