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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
