Tachyons as a Consequence of Light-Cone Reflection Symmetry
Alan Chodos
We introduce a new symmetry, Light-Cone Reflection (LCR), which interchanges timelike and spacelike intervals. Our motivation is to provide a reason, based on symmetry, why tachyon…
Neutrino condensation from a New Higgs Interaction
Alan Chodos, Fred Cooper
We study the consequences of having a new interaction between neutrinos and a Higgs scalar. We find that there are two possible attractive channels in the resulting effective 4-fer…
Comment on "An improved upper limit on the neutrino mass from a direct kinematic method by KATRIN"
Alan Chodos
We note that the central value of the KATRIN measurement has negative mass squared, and wonder why the statistical analysis excludes such values a priori.
White Paper on New Opportunities at the Next-Generation Neutrino Experiments (Part 1: BSM Neutrino Physics and Dark Matter)
C. A. Argüelles, A. J. Aurisano, B. Batell +47
With the advent of a new generation of neutrino experiments which leverage high-intensity neutrino beams for precision measurements, it is timely to explore physics topics beyond t…
Chirally Invariant Avatar in a Model of Neutrinos with Light Cone Reflection Symmetry
Alan Chodos
In previous work we developed a model of neutrinos based on a new symmetry, Light Cone Reflection (LCR), that interchanges spacelike and timelike intervals. In this paper we start…
Gauge Interactions and a Quantum Avatar in a Model with Light Cone Reflection Symmetry
Alan Chodos
We continue the development of a model of neutrinos that possesses a new symmetry, Light Cone Reflection, interchanging spacelike and timelike intervals. In this paper we introduce…
A Model of Neutrinos
Alan Chodos
We propose a model for neutrinos based on symmetry under light-cone reflection (LCR), which was introduced in a previous paper. LCR is realized using a minimal substitution, which…
Light Cone Reflection and the Spectrum of Neutrinos
Alan Chodos
We extend the treatment of neutrinos within the context of SIM(2) Very Special Relativity (VSR) by adding a new discrete symmetry that we call Light Cone Reflection (LCR). We const…
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties associated with the chiral phase transition at finite density in the Gross-Neveu Model
A. Chodos, F. Cooper, W. Mao +1
We study the dynamics of the chiral phase transition at finite density in the Gross-Neveu (GN) model in the leading order in large-N approximation. The phase structure of the GN mo…
A Two-Dimensional Model with Chiral Condensates and Cooper Pairs Having QCD-like Phase Structure
Alan Chodos, Hisakazu Minakata, Fred Cooper +2
We describe how a generalization of the original Gross-Neveu model from U(N) to O(N) flavor symmetry leads to the appearance of a pairing condensate at high density, in agreement w…
Dynamics of the chiral phase transition at finite chemical potential
Alan Chodos, Fred Cooper, Anupam Singh +1
We study the dynamics of the chiral phase transition at finite chemical potential in the Gross-Neveu model in the leading order in large-N approximation. We consider evolutions sta…
A Two-dimensional Model with Chiral Condensates and Cooper Pairs having QCD-like Phase Structure
Alan Chodos, Fred Cooper, Wenjin Mao +2
We generalize our previous model to an O(N) symmetric two-dimensional model which possesses chiral symmetry breaking and superconducting (Cooper pair condensates) phases at large-N…
Concatenation of Scales Below 1 eV
Alan Chodos
There are (at least) four numbers of physical and cosmological significance whose inferred values, when expressed in mass units, cluster in a window below 1 eV. These are: the neut…
Competing Condensates in Two Dimensions
Alan Chodos, Fred Cooper, Hisakazu Minakata
We generalize our previous 2-dimensional model in which a pairing condensate psi-psi was generated at large N. In the present case, we allow for both psi-psi and a chiral condensat…
Cosmological Neutrino Condensates
D. G. Caldi, Alan Chodos
We investigate the possibility that neutrinos form superfluid-type condensates in background cosmological densities. Such condensates could give rise to small neutrino masses and s…
Cooper pairing at large N in a 2-dimensional model
Alan Chodos, Hisakazu Minakata, Fred Cooper
We study a 2-dimensional model of Fermi fields that is closely related to the Gross-Neveu model, and show that to leading order in 1/N a <psi-psi> condensate forms. This effect is…
Modelling Sonoluminescence
Alan Chodos, Sarah Groff
In single-bubble sonoluminescence, a bubble trapped by a sound wave in a flask of liquid is forced to expand and contract; exactly once per cycle, the bubble emits a very sharp ($<…
Sonoluminescence and the Heimlich Effect
Alan Chodos
The phenomenon of sonoluminescence (SL), originally observed some sixty years ago, has recently become the focus of renewed interest, particularly with the discovery that one can t…
Proper-time methods in the presence of non-constant background fields
Alan Chodos
A formalism is developed to enable the construction of the effective action and related quantities in QED for the case of time-varying background electric fields. Some examples are…
Nuclear Null Tests for Spacelike Neutrinos
Alan Chodos, Alan Kostelecky, IUHET 280
Recently, a type of null experiment for spacelike neutrinos has been proposed. We examine in detail a class of null tests involving nuclear beta decay or capture in atoms and ions.…
