Vacuum Structure and Dark Energy
Lance Labun, Johann Rafelski
We consider that the universe is trapped in an excited vacuum state and the resulting excitation energy provides the observed dark energy. We explore the conditions under which thi…
Strong Field Physics: Probing Critical Acceleration and Inertia with Laser Pulses and Quark-Gluon Plasma
Lance Labun, Jan Rafelski
Understanding physics in domains of critical (quantum unstable) fields requires investigating the classical and quantum particle dynamics at the critical acceleration, $\dot u \to…
Quantum Vacuum Structure and Cosmology
Johann Rafelski, Lance Labun, Yaron Hadad +1
Short review of riddles that lie at the intersection of quantum theory, particle physics and cosmology; dark energy as false vacuum; discussion of a possible detection experiment.
Vacuum Decay Time in Strong External Fields
Lance Labun, Johann Rafelski
We consider dynamics of vacuum decay and particle production in the context of short pulse laser experiments. We identify and evaluate the invariant "materialization time," , th…
