Constraints on magnetic monopoles from X-ray observations of neutron stars
Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Daniele Perri, Edward W. Kolb
Magnetic monopoles are captured efficiently by neutron stars, and if they catalyze nucleon decay, the decay products would thermalize and generate observable X-ray surface emission…
Harrison-Z'eldovich primordial spectrum is consistent with observations
S. Pandolfi, A. Cooray, E. Giusarma +4
Inflation predicts primordial scalar perturbations with a nearly scale-invariant spectrum and a spectral index approximately unity (the Harrison--Zel'dovich (HZ) spectrum). The fir…
Cosmological Bounds to the Magnetic Moment of Heavy Tau Neutrinos
Dario Grasso, Edward W. Kolb
The magnetic moment of tau neutrinos in the MeV mass range may be large enough to modify the cosmological freeze-out calculation and determine the tau-neutrino relic density. In th…
LIGHT PHOTINOS AS DARK MATTER
Glennys R. Farrar, Edward W. Kolb
There are good reasons to consider models of low-energy supersymmetry with very light photinos and gluinos. In a wide class of models the lightest -odd, color-singlet state cont…
Reconstructing the Inflaton Potential---Perturbative Reconstruction to Second Order
Edmund Copeland, Edward W. Kolb, Andrew R. Liddle +1
One method to reconstruct the scalar field potential of inflation is a perturbative approach, where the values of the potential and its derivatives are calculated as an expansion i…
Reconstructing the Inflaton Potential---in Principle and in Practice
Edmund Copeland, Edward W. Kolb, Andrew R. Liddle +1
Generalizing the original work by Hodges and Blumenthal, we outline a formalism which allows one, in principle, to reconstruct the potential of the inflaton field from knowledge of…
