Sphaleron Transition Rates and the Chiral Magnetic Effect
Joseph I. Kapusta, Ermal Rrapaj, Serge Rudaz
The chiral magnetic effect is a novel quantum phenomenon proposed for high-energy nuclear collisions but which has yet to be observed. We quantify the axial charge relaxation time,…
Spin-Vorticity Coupling for Massive Vector Mesons
Joseph I. Kapusta, Ermal Rrapaj, Serge Rudaz
Recent experiments at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have indicated that hadrons containing strange quarks produced in non-central heavy ion…
Spin versus Helicity Equilibration Times and Lagrangian for Strange Quarks in Rotating Quark-Gluon Plasma
Joseph I. Kapusta, Ermal Rrapaj, Serge Rudaz
Measurements of the net polarization of and hyperons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have stimulated much interest in how strange quarks might align their…
Is Hyperon Polarization in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions Connected to Axial U(1) Symmetry Breaking at High Temperature?
Joseph I. Kapusta, Ermal Rrapaj, Serge Rudaz
Experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have measured the net polarization of and hyperons and attributed it to a coupling between their spin and the…
Relaxation Time for Strange Quark Spin in Rotating Quark-Gluon Plasma
Joseph I. Kapusta, Ermal Rrapaj, Serge Rudaz
Experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have measured the net polarization of and hyperons and attributed it to a coupling between their spin and the…
An Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry III: Mesons at Finite Temperature
G. W. Carter, P. J. Ellis, S. Rudaz
We investigate the finite temperature behavior of the meson sector of an effective Lagrangian which describes nuclear matter. A method is developed for evaluating the logarithmic t…
An Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry II: Pion Phenomenology
G. Carter, P. J. Ellis, S. Rudaz
We extend an effective Lagrangian embodying broken scale and chiral symmetry to include explicit chiral symmetry breaking and an additional chiral invariant term which allows for a…
Light Stops in the MSSM: Implications for Photino Dark Matter and Top Quark Decay
Keith A. Olive, Serge Rudaz
We consider the viability of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with a light ( 45 GeV) stop. In order for its relic abundance to be cosmologically signifi…
Single Leptoquark Production at Hadron Colliders
J. Ohnemus, S. Rudaz, T. F. Walsh +1
Leptoquarks can be produced in pairs by gluon--gluon fusion and quark--antiquark annihilation at hadron colliders. While HERA is the proper machine for single production of …
Probing Gauge String Formation in a Superconducting Phase Transition
Serge Rudaz, Ajit M. Srivastava, Shikha Varma
Superconductors are the only experimentally accessible systems with spontaneously broken gauge symmetries which support topologically nontrivial defects, namely string defects. We…
An Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry Applied to Nuclear Matter and Finite Nuclei
E. K. Heide, S. Rudaz, P. J. Ellis
We study nuclear matter and finite nuclei with a chiral Lagrangian which generalizes the linear model and also accounts for the QCD trace anomaly by means of terms which involv…
Neutron Stars and Nuclei in the Modified Relativistic Hartree Approximation
M. Prakash, P. J. Ellis, E. K. Heide +1
We have examined the properties of neutron-rich matter and finite nuclei in the modified relativistic Hartree approximation for several values of the renormalization scale, , ar…
On the Production of Flux Vortices and Magnetic Monopoles in Phase Transitions
Serge Rudaz, Ajit M. Srivastava
We examine the basic assumptions underlying a scenario due to Kibble that is widely used to estimate the production of topological defects. We argue that one of the crucial assumpt…
