Momentum Flux for Small-Amplitude Oscillons
N. S. Manton, Azadeh Mohammadi
An oscillon in scalar field theory in -dimensions is an oscillating, localised, almost periodic classical solution that slowly radiates and decays to the vacuum solution. We…
Vortices of the Hitchin Equations
Nicholas S. Manton
The vortices that appear in Hitchin's pioneering study of Higgs bundles are interpreted as a new version of the abelian Higgs vortices more familiar to theoretical physicists. Thei…
Circle of Alpha-Particle Cluster Shapes in Neon-20
N. S. Manton
Quantum states of Neon-20 are generally agreed to lie in rotational-vibrational bands of a cluster of five alpha particles. However, more than one cluster shape has been proposed a…
Collision Dynamics of False-Vacuum Oscillons
J. G. F. Campos, N. S. Manton, Azadeh Mohammadi
We study the collision dynamics of localized oscillons in two classes of -dimensional scalar field theories with metastable false vacua, a normal class with a positive quart…
Coulomb-Corrected Wormhole Model for Neon-20
Ruoxin Bai, N. S. Manton
Building on the spatial wormhole geometry proposed by Manton and Dunajski, we develop a modified model for the Neon-20 nucleus that incorporates a repulsive Coulomb potential. This…
Approach to nuclear cross sections via classical Skyrmion scattering: A proposal
N. S. Manton
By analogy with heavy ion collisions, which can be modelled by a classical hydrodynamics, it is proposed that the differential cross section for collisions of smaller nuclei can be…
