QCD Vacuum in an Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field
Prabal Adhikari, Brian C. Tiburzi
The effect of an inhomogeneous magnetic field on the QCD vacuum is addressed using the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The magnetic field is chosen to be localized along o…
Pion Weak Decay in a Magnetic Field
Prabal Adhikari, Brian C. Tiburzi
Pion decay width in a uniform magnetic background, constructed within chiral perturbation theory, is compared with lattice QCD for which results are available in the muon channel.…
Meson Octet in a Uniform Magnetic Field
Prabal Adhikari
Chiral perturbation theory is utilized to construct the renormalized magnetic masses and decay constants of the meson octet at next-to-leading order. While the neutral pion mass de…
Finite Volume Thermodynamics of an Ideal Gas in a Periodic Box
Prabal Adhikari, Sona Baghiyan, Rayn Samson
Approach to the thermodynamic limit of a non-relativistic ideal gas in a periodic box is investigated. The single particle wave function obeys twisted boundary condition, $Ï(L)=e^…
Approaching the Thermodynamic Limit of an Ideal Gas
Prabal Adhikari, Brian Tiburzi, Sona Baghiyan
For a gas confined in a container, particle-wall interactions produce modifications to the partition function involving the average surface density of gas particles. While such cor…
Strongly interacting matter in extreme magnetic fields
Prabal Adhikari, Martin Ammon, Sidney S. Avancini +58
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous across different physical systems of current interest; from the early Universe, compact astrophysical objects and heavy-ion collisions to condensed m…
