Baryon Density in the Central Region of a Heavy-Ion Collision
Alasdair James Gill
The O(4) linear sigma model of the chiral transition in QCD is similar to models of the superfluid transition in 4He and 3He. Observations of vortex formation in superfluid helium…
Quench Induced Vortices in the Symmetry Broken Phase of Liquid He
A. J. Gill, T. W. B. Kibble
Motivated by the study of cosmological phase transitions, our understanding of the formation of topological defects during spontaneous symmetry-breaking and the associated non-equi…
Big bang simulation in superfluid 3He-B -- Vortex nucleation in neutron-irradiated superflow
V. M. H. Ruutu, V. B. Eltsov, A. J. Gill +6
We report the observation of vortex formation upon the absorption of a thermal neutron in a rotating container of superfluid He-B. The nuclear reaction n + He = p + H +…
Vortex Production in Non-Relativistic and Relativistic Media
T. S. Evans, A. J. Gill, R. J. Rivers
We examine string (vortex) formation at a quench for a weakly-coupled global U(1) theory when the excitation spectrum is non-relativistic. It is so similar to vortex production in…
The Dynamics Of Vortex And Monopole Production By Quench Induced Phase Separation
A. J. Gill, R. J. Rivers
Our understanding of the mechanism by which topological defects are formed in symmetry breaking phase transitions has recently changed. We examine the non-equilibrium dynamics of d…
Cosmic Rays From Cosmic Strings
A. J. Gill, T. W. B. Kibble
It has been speculated that cosmic string networks could produce ultra-high energy cosmic rays as a by-product of their evolution. By making use of recent work on the evolution of…
