Science of Nuclear Fusion: Insights and Ideas
Johann Rafelski, Andrew Steinmetz, Andrew J. Steinmetz
Advances in several physics domains open up novel paths to smaller scale, higher energy density opportunities to advance small systems for nuclear fusion. Here we survey both legac…
Technical Proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE) Facility
Gianluigi Arduini, Nadja Augst, Mark G. Bason +79
We present the technical proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE), a m vertical atom interferometer to be installed against the wall of the PX…
Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry
Antun Balaz, Diego Blas, Oliver Buchmueller +50
Long-baseline atom interferometry is a promising technique for probing various aspects of fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology, including searches for ultralight dark ma…
Short Note on Spin Magnetization in QGP
Andrew Steinmetz, Johann Rafelski
We outline the theory of spin magnetization applicable to the QGP (quark-gluon plasma) epoch of the Universe. We show that a fully spin-polarized single flavor up-quark gas could g…
Higgs in The Cosmos
Johann Rafelski, Cheng Tao Yang
We explore the Higgs particle in the cosmic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) below the electroweak phase transition temperature . We show that Higgs…
Nuclear Fusion Enhancement by Heavy Nuclear Catalysts
Christopher Grayson, Johann Rafelski
We seek to understand the effect of high electron density in the proximity of a heavy nucleus on the fusion reaction rates in a hot plasma phase. We investigate quantitatively the…
Higgs Thermal Nonequilibrium in Primordial QGP
Cheng Tao Yang, Shelbi Foster, Johann Rafelski
In this work we investigate the chemical and kinetic nonequilibrium dynamics of the Higgs boson during the primordial Universe QGP (quark-gluon plasma) epoch $130\mathrm{\,GeV}>T>1…
Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry: Summary of the Second Workshop
Adam Abdalla, Mahiro Abe, Sven Abend +307
This summary of the second Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of our meeting held in London in April 2024, build…
Quarks to Cosmos: Particles and Plasma in Cosmological evolution
Johann Rafelski, Jeremiah Birrell, Christopher Grayson +2
We describe in the context of the particle physics (PP) standard model (SM) `PP-SM' the understanding of the primordial properties and composition of the Universe in the temperatur…
Self-consistent strong screening applied to thermonuclear reactions
Christopher Grayson, Cheng Tao Yang, Martin Formanek +1
Self-consistent strong plasma screening around light nuclei is implemented in the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch to determine the short-range screening potential, $eϕ(r)/T \g…
Fermi-Dirac Integrals in Degenerate Regimes: A Novel Asymptotic Expansion
Jeremiah Birrell, Martin Formanek, Andrew Steinmetz +2
We characterize in a novel manner the physical properties of the low temperature Fermi gas in the degenerate domain as a function of temperature and chemical potential. For the fir…
Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry: Workshop Summary
Sven Abend, Baptiste Allard, Iván Alonso +250
This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around the world…
Dynamic fermion flavor mixing through transition dipole moments
Johann Rafelski, Andrew Steinmetz, Cheng Tao Yang
We show that Majorana neutrino flavor mixing can be driven by transition dipole moments in the presence of external electromagnetic fields. We demonstrate the sensitivity of the ro…
Fusion reactions initiated by laser-accelerated particle beams in a laser-produced plasma
C. Labaune, C. Baccou, S. Depierreux +4
The advent of high-intensity pulsed laser technology enables the generation of extreme states of matter under conditions that are far from thermal equilibrium. This in turn could e…
Entropy Production in Relativistic Hydrodynamics
H. -Th. Elze, J. Rafelski, L. Turko
The entropy production occurring in relativistic hydrodynamical systems such as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in high-energy nuclear collisions is explored. We study mechanis…
