Effective Chiral Magnetic Effect from Neutrino Radiation
Naoki Yamamoto, Di-Lun Yang
We develop an approach to chiral kinetic theories for electrons close to equilibrium and neutrinos away from equilibrium based on a systematic power counting scheme for different t…
Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian under an axial gauge field
Patrick Copinger, Koichi Hattori, Di-Lun Yang
Augmentations to the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian (QED one-loop effective action in homogeneous electromagnetic fields) under a constant background axial gauge are examined. Two spe…
Spin alignment from turbulent color fields
Berndt Müller, Di-Lun Yang
We study the important, yet widely overlooked, role of gluons for spin transport with a connection to local parity violation in quark gluon plasmas. We extend the newly developed q…
Chiral effects in astrophysics and cosmology
Kohei Kamada, Naoki Yamamoto, Di-Lun Yang
The microscopic quantum nature of elementary particles, chirality, leads to macroscopic phenomena like the chiral anomaly, chiral magnetic effect, and chiral plasma instability. We…
Chiral gravitational waves from thermalized neutrinos in the early Universe
Philipp Gubler, Naoki Yamamoto, Di-Lun Yang
We investigate polarized gravitational waves generated by chiral fermions in the early Universe. In particular, we focus on the contribution from left-handed neutrinos in thermal e…
Quantum kinetic theory for dynamical spin polarization from QED-type interaction
Shuo Fang, Shi Pu, Di-Lun Yang
We investigate the dynamical spin polarization of a massless electron probing an electron plasma in locally thermal equilibrium via the Moller scattering from the quantum kinetic t…
