K. Y. Lo, T. H. Chiueh, R. N. Martin +4
As part of a 4-year Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (CosPA) Research Excellence Initiative in Taiwan, AMiBA a 19-element dual-channel 85-105 GHz interferometer array is bei…
Direct photons: a nonequilibrium signal of the expanding quark-gluon plasma
Shang-Yung Wang, Daniel Boyanovsky, Kin-Wang Ng
Direct photon production from a longitudinally expanding quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies is studied with…
Generalized Scale Invariant Gravity
Shih-Yuin Lin, Kin-Wang Ng
We generalize the scale invariant gravity by allowing a negative kinetic energy term for the classical scalar field. This gives birth to a new scalar-tensor theory of gravity, in w…
Dynamically Broken Scale Invariance and Cosmology
Shih-Yuin Lin, Kin-Wang Ng
A new scalar-tensor theory of gravity induced by dynamically broken scale invariance is proposed, and its cosmological implications are discussed. It is found that the model admits…
