Proton inelastic scattering reveals deformation in He
M. Holl, R. Kanungo, Z. H. Sun +27
A measurement of proton inelastic scattering of He at ~MeV at TRIUMF shows a resonance at 3.54(6)~MeV with a width of 0.89(11)~MeV. The energy of the state is in good ag…
Smooth flux-sheets with topological winding modes
A. Bakry, M. Deliyergiyev, A. Galal +1
The inclusion of the Gaussian-curvature term in the bulk of Polyakov-Kleinert string action renders new boundary terms and conditions by Gauss-Bonnet theorem. Within a leading appr…
Strings of diquark-quark (QQ)Q baryon before phase transition
A. S. Bakry, M. A. Deliyergiyev, A. A. Galal +1
We explore the limit at which the effective baryonic Y-string model of the junction approaches the mesonic stringlike behavior. We calculate and compare the numerical values of the…
EFT for Vortices with Dilaton-dependent Localized Flux
C. P. Burgess, Ross Diener, M. Williams
We study how codimension-two objects like vortices back-react gravitationally with their environment in theories (such as 4D or higher-dimensional supergravity) where the bulk is d…
Self-Tuning at Large (Distances): 4D Description of Runaway Dilaton Capture
C. P. Burgess, Ross Diener, M. Williams
We complete here a three-part study (see also arXiv:1506.08095 and 1508.00856) of how codimension-two objects back-react gravitationally with their environment, with particular int…
The Gravity of Dark Vortices: Effective Field Theory for Branes and Strings Carrying Localized Flux
C. P. Burgess, Ross Diener, M. Williams
A Nielsen-Olesen vortex usually sits in an environment that expels the flux that is confined to the vortex, so flux is not present both inside and outside. We construct vortices fo…
EFT Beyond the Horizon: Stochastic Inflation and How Primordial Quantum Fluctuations Go Classical
C. P. Burgess, R. Holman, G. Tasinato +1
We identify the effective theory describing inflationary super-Hubble scales and show it to be a special case of effective field theories appropriate to open systems. Open systems…
Inflating with Large Effective Fields
C. P. Burgess, M. Cicoli, F. Quevedo +1
We re-examine large scalar fields within effective field theory, in particular focussing on the issues raised by their use in inflationary models (as suggested by BICEP2 to obtain…
Who You Gonna Call? Runaway Ghosts, Higher Derivatives and Time-Dependence in EFTs
C. P. Burgess, M. Williams
We briefly review the formulation of effective field theories (EFTs) in time-dependent situations, with particular attention paid to their domain of validity. Our main interest is…
Gravitational Forces on a Codimension-2 Brane
C. P. Burgess, L. van Nierop, M. Williams
We compute the gravitational response of six dimensional gauged, chiral supergravity to localized stress energy on one of two space-filling branes, including the effects of compact…
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…
Accidental SUSY: Enhanced Bulk Supersymmetry from Brane Back-reaction
C. P. Burgess, L. van Nierop, S. Parameswaran +2
We compute how bulk loops renormalize both bulk and brane effective interactions for codimension-two branes in 6D gauged chiral supergravity, as functions of the brane tension and…
Running with Rugby Balls: Bulk Renormalization of Codimension-2 Branes
M. Williams, C. P. Burgess, L. van Nierop +1
We compute how one-loop bulk effects renormalize both bulk and brane effective interactions for geometries sourced by codimension-two branes. We do so by explicitly integrating out…
New Constraints (and Motivations) for Abelian Gauge Bosons in the MeV-TeV Mass Range
M. Williams, C. P. Burgess, Anshuman Maharana +1
We survey the phenomenological constraints on abelian gauge bosons having masses in the MeV to multi-GeV mass range (using precision electroweak measurements, neutrino-electron and…
