Late-time Quantum Vacuum Decay and its Cosmological Implications
Yang Bai, Sida Lu, Nicholas Orlofsky
The existence of a landscape of metastable vacua raises the possibility that our Universe may have undergone quantum vacuum decay at late times. This work explores how such a trans…
Gravitational Waves From Dark Binaries With Finite-Range Dark Forces
Yang Bai, Sida Lu, Nicholas Orlofsky
This paper calculates the stochastic gravitational wave background from dark binaries with finite-range attractive dark forces, complementing previous works which consider long-ran…
Radioactivity of Quark Nuggets
Yang Bai, Mrunal Korwar
Quark nuggets , as Fermionic non-topological solitons, could have their mass per baryon smaller than ordinary nuclei and behave as exotic nuclei with different relations of…
Gravitational Waves From More Attractive Dark Binaries
Yang Bai, Sida Lu, Nicholas Orlofsky
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) has led to a deeper understanding of binaries of ordinary astrophysical objects, including neutron stars and black holes. In this work, w…
