Spontaneous vortex formation on a superconductor film
M. Donaire, T. W. B. Kibble, A. Rajantie
We carry out numerical simulations to investigate spontaneous vortex formation during a temperature quench of a superconductor film from the normal to the superconducting phase in…
The monopole mass in the three-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model
A. C. Davis, A. Hart, T. W. B. Kibble +1
We study the three-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model to demonstrate how magnetic monopoles can be studied fully non-perturbatively in lattice Monte Carlo simulations, without any as…
Topological defects in lattice gauge theories
A. C. Davis, T. W. B. Kibble, A. Rajantie +1
We present a non-perturbative formalism for measuring defect free energies (monopole mass or vortex tension) in three-dimensional SU(2)+adjoint Higgs models. Starting from twisted,…
Composite defect extends cosmology - 3He analogy
V. B. Eltsov, T. W. B. Kibble, M. Krusius +2
Spin-mass vortices have been observed to form in rotating superfluid 3He-B following the absorption of a thermal neutron and a rapid transition from the normal to superfluid state.…
Electroweak Vacuum Geometry
Nathan F. Lepora, T. W. B. Kibble
We analyse symmetry breaking in the Weinberg-Salam model paying particular attention to the underlying geometry of the theory. In this context we find two natural metrics upon the…
Big bang simulation in superfluid 3He-B -- Vortex nucleation in neutron-irradiated superflow
V. M. H. Ruutu, V. B. Eltsov, A. J. Gill +6
We report the observation of vortex formation upon the absorption of a thermal neutron in a rotating container of superfluid He-B. The nuclear reaction n + He = p + H +…
