One-Loop Renormalization of Pure Yang-Mills with Lorentz Violation
Don Colladay, Patrick McDonald
The explicit one-loop renormalizability of pure Yang-Mills theory with Lorentz violation is demonstrated. The result is consistent with multiplicative renormalization as the requir…
Dark energy and curvature from a future baryonic acoustic oscillation survey using the Lyman-alpha forest
Patrick McDonald, Daniel Eisenstein
We explore the requirements for a Lyman-alpha forest (LyaF) survey designed to measure the angular diameter distance and Hubble parameter at 2~<z~<4 using the standard ruler provid…
Dark matter clustering: a simple renormalization group approach
Patrick McDonald
I compute a renormalization group (RG) improvement to the standard beyond-linear-order Eulerian perturbation theory (PT) calculation of the power spectrum of large-scale density fl…
Cosmological parameters from combining the Lyman-alpha forest with CMB, galaxy clustering and SN constraints
Uros Seljak, Anze Slosar, Patrick McDonald
We combine the Ly-alpha forest power spectrum (LYA) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and high resolution spectra with cosmic microwave background (CMB) including 3-year WMA…
Can sterile neutrinos be the dark matter?
Uros Seljak, Alexey Makarov, Patrick McDonald +1
We use the Ly-alpha forest power spectrum measured by the SDSS and high-resolution spectroscopy observations in combination with cosmic microwave background and galaxy clustering c…
Bose-Einstein Condensates as a Probe for Lorentz Violation
Don Colladay, Patrick McDonald
The effects of small Lorentz-violating terms on Bose-Einstein condensates are analyzed. We find that there are changes to the phase and shape of the ground-state wave function that…
